Hello all,

These are the first images of Bugatti's long-awaited new saloon concept, which is due to be unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show tomorrow.

It's called the Bugatti Galibier 16C, a name taken from an Alpine pass and which also adorned Bugatti saloons in the 1930s.

It might look like the lovechild of a Porsche Panamera and a Bugatti Veyron, but this is going to be one seriously quick super-saloon. The Veyron donates its W16 engine to the new concept, but two-stage superchargers replace the Veyron's quad-turbo set-up.

Bugatti is pretty silent about potential power figures, but expect at least 900lb ft of torque and an expected top speed in excess of 240mph - which would make the Galibier the fastest saloon car in the world.

Don't expect a four-door Bug any time soon, however: a production version is at least three years away.

Many thanks,

Rob.

hmmm, not too fussed either way

(having said that, if Bugatti require another test driver, i'm free next week....!)

Reserving judgement until there's one that doesn't have chromed front wings and doors.
