The 2013 Galibier is set to roll out before the end of 2012 and it has been crafted to be the leader in the luxury car market. It boasts of a 1-cylinder powerplant that can produce 789 horsepower to aroudn 986 hp. The Galibier is also considered as more practical compared to the Bugatti Veyron so Durheimer sees the luxury car brand to roll out 1,000 to about 1,500 units.

The tag price for this super ride has not been set yet but the president of Bugatti hints that to be behind the wheels of a Bugatti Galibier, you need to be ready to take out around $1,440, 00 from your bank account.

Durheimer sees the Galibier to the be the top benchmark of all the other four door sedans in the market and he promises that Bugtatti will continue to work on technologies and other engineering possibilities. He hints that there could be a hybrid Galibier which can go around 40 kilometers on its electric motor alone.

The Galibier was unveiled as the 16C Galibier concept car during this year’s Geneva Motor Show. It was first shown to a small group of Bugatti owners last September but this concept has a 5-door configuration just like the Rapide of Aston Martin and Porsche Panamera.

We will update you as soon as we get more information about the Bugatti Galibier.

A century after Ettore Bugatti established the company, we are able to see another milestone of the carmaker in the form of the 2009 Galibier 16C.

According to Bugatti insiders, the car manufacturer is considering three proposed designs for the next generation Bugatti. There is a high probability that the Galibier 16C will go into production after the Veyron ends its run by 2012.

The body of the Galibier 16C is made from a blend of carbob-fiber and aluminum which establishes its places as the lightest car in its class. The chassis is further strengthened by reinforced plastic and marked by LED lights on its ends.

The Galibier 16C borrows its design line sfrom the Atlantique Type 57. When you look at the images, notice the hatchback like lines and spine. The interiors are also treated with pure luxury. The central dash is made from fine wood and two dial displays which give you an idea of the speed and the power. There is also a Swiss clock from Parmigiani.

Bugatti did not reveal the technical aspects of the Galibier 16C but experts are assuming it will sport the 16 cylinder 8.0L engine used with the Veyron that has an output of around 800 horsepower. Instead of the turbo the Galibier 16C might come with a supercharger. Another spec will be an 8 speed auto transmission instead of a dual clutch system featured in the Veyron.

By spring 2010, we will know if the Galibier 16C will get the thumbs up for production.
