http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron
The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engined sports car, designed and developed by the Volkswagen Group and manufactured in Molsheim, France by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.
The Super Sport version of the Veyron is the fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a top speed of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph).[4] The original version has a top speed of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph).[5] It was named Car of the Decade (2000–2009) by the BBC television programme Top Gear. The standard Bugatti Veyron won Top Gear's Best Car Driven All Year award in 2005.
On 6 April 2013, Bugatti set the record for having the highest top speed of any roadster in the world with the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, reaching on average a top speed of 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph).[6][7]
The Veyron's chief designer was Hartmut Warkuss, and the exterior was designed by Jozef Kabaň of Volkswagen, with much of the engineering work being conducted under the guidance of engineering chief Wolfgang Schreiber.
A number of special variants have been produced. In December 2010, Bugatti began offering prospective buyers the ability to customize exterior and interiors colours by using the Veyron 16.4 Configurator application on the marque's official website.[8][9]
Origin of the car
In 1998, the Volkswagen Group purchased the trademark rights on the former car manufacturer Bugatti in order to revive the brand.[10] Starting with the Bugatti EB118, they presented at various international auto shows a total of four 18-cylinder concept cars. At the 1999 Tokyo Motor Show, the first study of the Veyron was presented.[11] At the time, the name of the concept car was "Bugatti Veyron EB 18.4," and it was equipped with a 3-bank W 18-cylinder engine instead of the 2-bank W 16-cylinder engine of the production version. While the three previous prototypes had been styled by Giugiaro, the Veyron was designed by the Volkswagen stylists.
The decision to start production of the car was taken by the Volkswagen Group in 2001. The first roadworthy prototype was completed in August 2003. It is identical except for a few details to the later series variant. In the development to series production, however, considerable technical problems had to be addressed, so that the start of production was delayed repeatedly, until September 2005.[12]
World record controversy
At the beginning of April 2013, driving.co.uk (also known as Sunday Times Driving) began an investigation following claims from US car maker Hennessey that its 928 kW (1,244 bhp) Hennessey Venom GT was the new world’s fastest production car, taking the crown from the Guinness World Record-holding Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. With a recorded speed of 427.6 km/h (265.7 mph) the Hennessey was 3.4 km/h (2.1 mph) slower than the Veyron but Hennessey dismissed Bugatti’s official record saying that the Veyron Super Sport was restricted to 415 km/h (258 mph) in production form and that for it to achieve its record top speed of 431.0 km/h (267.8 mph), the car used was in a state of tune not available to customers. Hennessey said its Venom GT, on the other hand, was road-ready and unmodified and was therefore a production car in the strict sense of the term.[15] There is also contention about whether the Hennessey Venom GT is in fact a "series-production" car as it can only be registered for road use in the US as a (modified) Lotus Exige.
Driving.co.uk requested clarification from Guinness World Records, which investigated this claim and found that indeed the modification was against the official guidelines of the record. Upon finding this, Guinness World Records voided the Super Sport's record and announced it was "reviewing this category with expert external consultants to ensure our records fairly reflect achievements in this field."[16]
After further review, SSC, the producers of the Ultimate Aero TT, said that they had reclaimed the record.[17] However Guinness World Records later said they had reinstated the Super Sport's record, after coming to the conclusion that "a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine."[18]
Bugatti Veyron (2005–2011)
Specifications and performance
The Veyron features an 8.0-litre, quad-turbocharged, W16 cylinder engine, equivalent to two narrow-angle V8 engines. Each cylinder has four valves for a total of 64, but the VR8 configuration of each bank allows two overhead camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only four camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four turbochargers and displaces 7,993 cubic centimetres (487.8 cu in), with a square 86 by 86 mm (3.39 by 3.39 in) bore and stroke.
The transmission is a dual-clutch direct-shift gearbox computer-controlled automatic with seven gear ratios, with magnesium paddles behind the steering wheel and a shift time of less than 150 milliseconds, built by Ricardo of England rather than Borg-Warner, who designed the six speed DSG used in the mainstream Volkswagen Group marques. The Veyron can be driven in either semi-automatic or fully automatic mode. A replacement transmission for the Veyron costs just over US$120,000.[19] It also has permanent all-wheel drive using the Haldex Traction system. It uses special Michelin PAX run-flat tyres, designed specifically to accommodate the Veyron's top speed, and cost US$25,000 per set.[19] The tyres can be mounted on the rims only in France, a service which costs US$70,000.[19] Kerb weight is 1,888 kilograms (4,162 lb).[20] This gives the car a power-to-weight ratio, according to Volkswagen Group's figures, of 530 PS (390 kW; 523 bhp) per ton.
The car's wheelbase is 2,710 mm (106.7 in). Overall length is 4,462 mm (175.7 in) which gives 1,752.6 mm (69.0 in) of overhang. The width is 1,998 mm (78.7 in) and height 1,204 mm (47.4 in). The Bugatti Veyron has a total of ten radiators:[21]
This top speed was verified by James May on Top Gear in November 2006, again at Volkswagen Group's private Ehra-Lessien test track. May noted that at top speed the engine consumes 45,000 litres (9,900 imp gal) of air per minute (as much as a human breathes in four days). The Veyron at the time had the highest top speed of any street legal production car. Back in the Top Gear studio, co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson commented that most supercars felt like they were shaking apart at their top speed, and asked May if that was the case with the Veyron at 407 km/h (253 mph). May responded that no, the Veyron was very controlled, and only wobbled a tiny bit when the air brake deployed.[25]
The car's everyday top speed is listed at 343 km/h (213 mph). When the car reaches 220 km/h (140 mph), hydraulics lower the car until it has a ground clearance of about 9 cm (3.5 in). At the same time, the wing and spoiler deploy. In this handling mode, the wing provides 3,425 newtons (770 lbf) of downforce, holding the car to the road.[21]
For top speed mode the driver must, while stationary, toggle a special top speed key to the left of the driver's seat. A checklist then establishes whether the car and its driver are ready to attempt to reach 407 km/h (253 mph). If so, the rear spoiler retracts, the front air diffusers shut, and normal 12.5 cm (4.9 in) ground clearance drops to 6.5 cm (2.6 in).
Prototypes have been subjected to repeated 1.0 g braking from 312 km/h (194 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph) without fade. With the car's acceleration from 80 km/h (50 mph) to 312 km/h (194 mph), that test can be performed every 22 seconds. At speeds above 200 km/h (120 mph), the rear wing also acts as an airbrake, snapping to a 55° angle in 0.4 seconds once brakes are applied, providing an additional 0.68 g (6.66 m/s2) of deceleration (equivalent to the stopping power of an ordinary hatchback).[21] Bugatti claims the Veyron will brake from 400 km/h (250 mph) to a standstill in less than 10 seconds, though distance covered in this time will be half a kilometre (third of a mile).[21]
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, World Record Edition (2010–)
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is a limited (30 units) version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 with increased engine power of 1,200 PS (880 kW; 1,200 bhp) and torque of 1,500 N·m (1,100 lbf·ft), a revised aerodynamic package.[66] It has a 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) top speed, making it the fastest production road car in production [3][67][68] although it is electronically limited to 415 km/h (258 mph) to protect the tyres from disintegrating.[66]
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport World Record Edition is a limited (5 units) of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport with special black exposed carbon body and orange body colour.[69]
The vehicle was unveiled in 2010 The Quail, followed by 2010 Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca, 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.[70]
The Super Sport is valued at GB£1.7 million.[1][71]
Motorsports
On 4 July 2010 James May, a television presenter on BBC 2's television show Top Gear, drove the Veyron Super Sport at 417 km/h (259 mph). Later that day, Bugatti's official test driver Pierre Henri Raphanel drove the Super Sport version of the Veyron on Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien (near Wolfsburg, Germany) high-speed test track to establish the car's top speed. With representatives of the Guinness Book of Records and German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV) on hand, Raphanel made passes around the big oval in both directions achieving an average maximum speed of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph), thus taking back the title from the SSC Ultimate Aero TT as the fastest production vehicle of all time.[4] The 431.072 km/h mark was reached by averaging the Super Sport's two test runs, the first reaching 427.93 km/h (265.90 mph) and the second 434.20 km/h (269.80 mph).[78]
On 9 April 2013 the Title of "Fastest Production Car in the World" was revoked due to the deactivation of the electronic speed limiter which makes the car non stock, going against the rules of the title.[79] Later, Bugatti’s speed record has been restored. "Following a thorough review conducted with a number of external experts, Guinness World Records is pleased to announce the confirmation of Bugatti’s record of Fastest production car achieved by the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. The focus of the review was with respect to what may constitute a modification to a car’s standard specification. Having evaluated all the necessary information, Guinness World Records is now satisfied that a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine."[80][81]
Grand Sport Vitesse (2012-)
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is a version of the Grand Sport with a Super Sport engine. It produces a maximum output of 1,200 PS (880 kW; 1,200 bhp) @ 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 1,500 N·m (1,100 lb·ft) @ 3,000-5,000 rpm. These figures allow the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from standing in 2.6 seconds. On normal roads, the Vitesse is electronically limited to 375 km/h (233 mph).
The vehicle was unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show (with carbon parts in new colour "Brown" (lids, rear end, front spoiler and side skirting) shimmer in an almost bronze shade depending on how the light falls, side parts right up to the rear air intakes made from polished aluminium, Gaucho coloured interior leather upholstery with dark stitching (colour "Coffee"))[82][83] followed by 2012 Beijing Auto Show (with black and Italian Red body colours, polished wheels in Italian Red with Diamond Cut design),[84] São Paulo Motor Show 2012 (with upper area of the body in light "Gris Rafale" colour, roof area, air scoops, air brake and some parts of the back in blue visible carbon; lake blue leather seats and a stitching in light grey).[85]
Base price of the Vitesse costs €1.69 million (without tax and transportation), with the 2012 Geneva Motor Show car costs €1.79 million, São Paulo Motor Show 2012 car costs €1.9 million.

ヴェイロン（Veyron 16.4 ）は、ブガッティ・オトモビルが2005年から製造しているスーパーカーである。
1998年、フォルクスワーゲングループによって設立された新生ブガッティブランド初の市販車であり、2005年から発売され同グループのフラグシップともなっている[1]。
ヴェイロンの名は初代ブガッティのエンジニア、レーシングドライバーであり、1939年ル・マン24時間レースをジャン＝ピエール・ウィミーユとともにブガッティ・タイプ57で制するなど活躍したピエール・ヴェイロンから来ている[2]。
1999年フランクフルトモーターショーにてジョルジェット・ジウジアーロのイタルデザインによるコンセプトカーEB18/3 シロンを発表。シロンの名は、かつてのブガッティのレーシングドライバーであるルイ・シロンから。その後フォルクスワーゲンが独自に手を加え、1999年の東京モーターショーでヴェイロンの名を持つコンセプトモデルが登場、この時のモデル名称はEB18/4 ヴェイロンであった。
翌2000年のパリサロンで搭載エンジンがW18気筒からW16気筒に変更され、現在の名称が採用されると同時に、大まかな仕様（最高出力1000hp以上、最高速400km/h以上）が発表された。2001年には量産化にゴーサインが出ていたが、高速走行時の空力特性、スタビリティの問題や、大型エンジンの採用による排熱の問題もあり、開発は難航していた。
最終更新 2014年4月14日
フォルクスワーゲンによる公式な設立
2000年12月15日、フォルクスワーゲンはブガッティ・オトモビルを公式に設立した。フォルクスワーゲンで駆動関係のチーフであったカール＝ハインツ・ノイマン（Karl-Heinz Neumann ）が社長となった。フランスのモルスアイム（Molsheim ）近郊のドリスアイム（Dorlisheim ）で1856年に造られエットーレ・ブガッティがゲストハウスとして使っていた城、シャトー・サン・ジャン（Château Saint Jean ）を購入、改装し本社とした。以前のブガッティの工場はスネクマが手放そうとせず、フォルクスワーゲンは2000年夏のペブル・ビーチ・コンコース・デレガンスにおいて「モダンなアトリエを城（本社）の南隣に建設する」と発表した。このアトリエと呼ばれた工場は本社脇に新たに建造され2005年9月3日に竣工した。
ブガッティは、ヴェイロンに次ぐモデルの開発も行っている。
当時社長のブシャーは2005年10月の東京モーターショーにおいて「ヴェイロンのエンジンとトランスミッションを活用した、フロントエンジンの4人乗りになるだろう」と発言した。
2009年9月14日100周年記念式典のクライマックスにおいてガリビエール・コンセプト（16C Galibier concept ）を発表した。4ドア車では珍しいファストバックスタイルをもつ超高級サルーンである。
2ステージスーパーチャージャー付きW16気筒エンジンをフロントに搭載し、ガソリン以外にエタノールでも走行が可能なフレックス燃料車である。駆動方式はフルタイム4WD。ブレーキにはセラミックスが使われる。文字通りコンセプトカーであり、市販されるか否かは不明。

Bugatti Veyron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron
The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engined sports car, designed and developed by the Volkswagen Group and manufactured in Molsheim, France by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.
The Super Sport version of the Veyron is the fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a top speed of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph).[4] The original version has a top speed of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph).[5] It was named Car of the Decade (2000–2009) by the BBC television programme Top Gear.

Bugatti Veyron (2005–2011)
Specifications and performance
The Veyron features an 8.0-litre, quad-turbocharged, W16 cylinder engine, equivalent to two narrow-angle V8 engines. Each cylinder has four valves for a total of 64, but the VR8 configuration of each bank allows two overhead camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only four camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four turbochargers and displaces 7,993 cubic centimetres (487.8 cu in), with a square 86 by 86 mm (3.39 by 3.39 in) bore and stroke.
The car's wheelbase is 2,710 mm (106.7 in). Overall length is 4,462 mm (175.7 in) which gives 1,752.6 mm (69.0 in) of overhang. The width is 1,998 mm (78.7 in) and height 1,204 mm (47.4 in). The Bugatti Veyron has a total of ten radiators:[21]
Engine output
According to Volkswagen Group and certified by TÜV Süddeutschland, the final production Veyron engine produces 1,001 metric horsepower (736 kW; 987 bhp) of motive power, and generates 1,250 newton metres (922 lbf·ft) of torque.[2][24] The nominal figure has been stated by Bugatti officials to be conservative, with the real total being 1,020 metric horsepower (750 kW; 1,006 bhp).Top speed
German inspection officials recorded an average top speed of the original version of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph)[5] during test sessions on the Ehra-Lessien test track on 19 April 2005.This top speed was verified by James May on Top Gear in November 2006, again at Volkswagen Group's private Ehra-Lessien test track. May noted that at top speed the engine consumes 45,000 litres (9,900 imp gal) of air per minute (as much as a human breathes in four days). The Veyron at the time had the highest top speed of any street legal production car. Back in the Top Gear studio, co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson commented that most supercars felt like they were shaking apart at their top speed, and asked May if that was the case with the Veyron at 407 km/h (253 mph). May responded that no, the Veyron was very controlled, and only wobbled a tiny bit when the air brake deployed.[25]
The car's everyday top speed is listed at 343 km/h (213 mph). When the car reaches 220 km/h (140 mph), hydraulics lower the car until it has a ground clearance of about 9 cm (3.5 in). At the same time, the wing and spoiler deploy. In this handling mode, the wing provides 3,425 newtons (770 lbf) of downforce, holding the car to the road.[21]
For top speed mode the driver must, while stationary, toggle a special top speed key to the left of the driver's seat. A checklist then establishes whether the car and its driver are ready to attempt to reach 407 km/h (253 mph). If so, the rear spoiler retracts, the front air diffusers shut, and normal 12.5 cm (4.9 in) ground clearance drops to 6.5 cm (2.6 in).
Braking
The Veyron's brakes use cross drilled, radially vented carbon fibre reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) composite discs, manufactured by SGL Carbon, which have a much greater resistance to brake fade when compared with conventional cast iron discs. The lightweight aluminium alloy monobloc brake calipers are made by AP Racing; the fronts have eight[21] titanium pistons and the rear calipers have six pistons. Bugatti claims maximum deceleration of 1.3 g on road tyres. As an added safety feature, in the event of brake failure, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) has also been installed on the handbrake.Prototypes have been subjected to repeated 1.0 g braking from 312 km/h (194 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph) without fade. With the car's acceleration from 80 km/h (50 mph) to 312 km/h (194 mph), that test can be performed every 22 seconds. At speeds above 200 km/h (120 mph), the rear wing also acts as an airbrake, snapping to a 55° angle in 0.4 seconds once brakes are applied, providing an additional 0.68 g (6.66 m/s2) of deceleration (equivalent to the stopping power of an ordinary hatchback).[21] Bugatti claims the Veyron will brake from 400 km/h (250 mph) to a standstill in less than 10 seconds, though distance covered in this time will be half a kilometre (third of a mile).[21]
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, World Record Edition (2010–)
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is a limited (30 units) version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 with increased engine power of 1,200 PS (880 kW; 1,200 bhp) and torque of 1,500 N·m (1,100 lbf·ft), a revised aerodynamic package.[66] It has a 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) top speed, making it the fastest production road car in production [3][67][68] although it is electronically limited to 415 km/h (258 mph) to protect the tyres from disintegrating.[66]
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport World Record Edition is a limited (5 units) of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport with special black exposed carbon body and orange body colour.[69]
The vehicle was unveiled in 2010 The Quail, followed by 2010 Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca, 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.[70]
The Super Sport is valued at GB£1.7 million.[1][71]

On 4 July 2010 James May, a television presenter on BBC 2's television show Top Gear, drove the Veyron Super Sport at 417 km/h (259 mph). Later that day, Bugatti's official test driver Pierre Henri Raphanel drove the Super Sport version of the Veyron on Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien (near Wolfsburg, Germany) high-speed test track to establish the car's top speed. With representatives of the Guinness Book of Records and German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV) on hand, Raphanel made passes around the big oval in both directions achieving an average maximum speed of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph), thus taking back the title from the SSC Ultimate Aero TT as the fastest production vehicle of all time.[4] The 431.072 km/h mark was reached by averaging the Super Sport's two test runs, the first reaching 427.93 km/h (265.90 mph) and the second 434.20 km/h (269.80 mph).[78]
On 9 April 2013 the Title of "Fastest Production Car in the World" was revoked due to the deactivation of the electronic speed limiter which makes the car non stock, going against the rules of the title.[79] Later, Bugatti’s speed record has been restored. "Following a thorough review conducted with a number of external experts, Guinness World Records is pleased to announce the confirmation of Bugatti’s record of Fastest production car achieved by the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport.

Having evaluated all the necessary information, Guinness World Records is now satisfied that a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine."[80][81]
Grand Sport Vitesse (2012-)
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is a version of the Grand Sport with a Super Sport engine. It produces a maximum output of 1,200 PS (880 kW; 1,200 bhp) @ 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 1,500 N·m (1,100 lb·ft) @ 3,000-5,000 rpm. These figures allow the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from standing in 2.6 seconds. On normal roads, the Vitesse is electronically limited to 375 km/h (233 mph).
The vehicle was unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show (with carbon parts in new colour "Brown" (lids, rear end, front spoiler and side skirting) shimmer in an almost bronze shade depending on how the light falls, side parts right up to the rear air intakes made from polished aluminium, Gaucho coloured interior leather upholstery with dark stitching (colour "Coffee"))[82][83] followed by 2012 Beijing Auto Show (with black and Italian Red body colours, polished wheels in Italian Red with Diamond Cut design),[84] São Paulo Motor Show 2012 (with upper area of the body in light "Gris Rafale" colour, roof area, air scoops, air brake and some parts of the back in blue visible carbon; lake blue leather seats and a stitching in light grey).[85]
Base price of the Vitesse costs €1.69 million (without tax and transportation), with the 2012 Geneva Motor Show car costs €1.79 million, São Paulo Motor Show 2012 car costs €1.9 million.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%96%E3%82%AC%E3%83%83%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%BB%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A7%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AD%E3%83%B3
ヴェイロン（Veyron 16.4 ）は、ブガッティ・オトモビルが2005年から製造しているスーパーカーである。
1998年、フォルクスワーゲングループによって設立された新生ブガッティブランド初の市販車であり、2005年から発売され同グループのフラグシップともなっている[1]。
ヴェイロンの名は初代ブガッティのエンジニア、レーシングドライバーであり、1939年ル・マン24時間レースをジャン＝ピエール・ウィミーユとともにブガッティ・タイプ57で制するなど活躍したピエール・ヴェイロンから来ている[2]。
1999年フランクフルトモーターショーにてジョルジェット・ジウジアーロのイタルデザインによるコンセプトカーEB18/3 シロンを発表。シロンの名は、かつてのブガッティのレーシングドライバーであるルイ・シロンから。その後フォルクスワーゲンが独自に手を加え、1999年の東京モーターショーでヴェイロンの名を持つコンセプトモデルが登場、この時のモデル名称はEB18/4 ヴェイロンであった。
翌2000年のパリサロンで搭載エンジンがW18気筒からW16気筒に変更され、現在の名称が採用されると同時に、大まかな仕様（最高出力1000hp以上、最高速400km/h以上）が発表された。2001年には量産化にゴーサインが出ていたが、高速走行時の空力特性、スタビリティの問題や、大型エンジンの採用による排熱の問題もあり、開発は難航していた。

ブガッティ・オトモビル
ブガッティ・オトモビル（Bugatti Automobiles SAS ）はフランスに本社を置く自動車メーカー。フォルクスワーゲンが往年のブガッティの商標権および製造販売権を獲得し100%子会社として1998年に創業。フォルクスワーゲンの取締役会会長であったフェルディナント・ピエヒが主導した。
2000年12月15日、フォルクスワーゲンはブガッティ・オトモビルを公式に設立した。フォルクスワーゲンで駆動関係のチーフであったカール＝ハインツ・ノイマン（Karl-Heinz Neumann ）が社長となった。フランスのモルスアイム（Molsheim ）近郊のドリスアイム（Dorlisheim ）で1856年に造られエットーレ・ブガッティがゲストハウスとして使っていた城、シャトー・サン・ジャン（Château Saint Jean ）を購入、改装し本社とした。以前のブガッティの工場はスネクマが手放そうとせず、フォルクスワーゲンは2000年夏のペブル・ビーチ・コンコース・デレガンスにおいて「モダンなアトリエを城（本社）の南隣に建設する」と発表した。このアトリエと呼ばれた工場は本社脇に新たに建造され2005年9月3日に竣工した。
ブガッティは、ヴェイロンに次ぐモデルの開発も行っている。
当時社長のブシャーは2005年10月の東京モーターショーにおいて「ヴェイロンのエンジンとトランスミッションを活用した、フロントエンジンの4人乗りになるだろう」と発言した。
2009年9月14日100周年記念式典のクライマックスにおいてガリビエール・コンセプト（16C Galibier concept ）を発表した。4ドア車では珍しいファストバックスタイルをもつ超高級サルーンである。
2ステージスーパーチャージャー付きW16気筒エンジンをフロントに搭載し、ガソリン以外にエタノールでも走行が可能なフレックス燃料車である。駆動方式はフルタイム4WD。ブレーキにはセラミックスが使われる。文字通りコンセプトカーであり、市販されるか否かは不明。
