Like the look of it from the front not so sure about the rear though very porsche panamera like.

Horrible looking yoke.

Christ that's ugly!

NEVER MIND THE LOOKS!

It'll sell in droves, every rapper will want one of these, it'll be a massive sucess due to how bling it is (if they ever make it)

commanding a price tag of £900,000, that is ****in crazy! you could have a fleet of supercars for that money, although the veyron cost more and they still sold them,

i cant see that chrome finish making it to the production model though!

Autocar's $hitty site wont open for me, but this looks a lot like yet another of their woeful Art departments ideas of what something will look like, based on their ever mysterious "sources close to the manufacturer". t looks like a molested Flying Spur photo, it just cant be the quality of concept image the company that made the Veyron would produce..?

more pics here and a press release(which has nothing interesting)

Dartz

Is it a bad sign that the first thing I thought of, when I saw that grille, was a cheap lovedoll covered in crome?

What it looks like doesn't matter anyway.... the whole point of owning a Bugatti is spending the money to own a Bugatti, proving you have the money to spend...

I'm sure the Taxman here would ****ing love you for buying one... VRT alone would pay for a month-long Ministerial junket to the Carribean.

Max_Damage

Idiotic rappers & footballers will buy it no doubt.

Pity they say it'll only have 800 bhp, when the 1000 of the veyron would surely be possible in this. Probably a bit too bling anyway though!

Juantorena

Jean Bugatti will be dizzy spinning...back end is desperately poorly proportioned wrt the front. Looks like it should be a two door...

I guess that's a current floorplan they're working off and are thus limited with what they can do.

In that last pic in the OP, you see that the bonnet is HUGE, when compared with the rest of the car, that said, i guess it would have to be to fit a W16 block under there!

I always think that calling a car "vulgar" smacks of inverted snobbery, but this is an exception for me.

Tropheus

It looks like the love child of the Contental GT and a 5 Series.

Some more photos of this car.

It sure does and neither of them are especially nice looking cars either the gt is a horrible looking thing.

That bugatti is one seriously terrible looking car.

CONM

looks so much better without the chrome

CoDy1

I think it looks fantastic, especially in the new pics.

staker

Would still prefer the coupe though...

It looks just like the 5series GT.
I actually thought it was a some one messing with one and some some Bugatti badges.

Bugattis were always about Class and Elegance.
Even the Veyron being a hypersupercar still is greatly poised and very elegantly designed unlike the other mad supercar rivals from Paggani and Koenigsegg.

But this one seems to be an exception.
Not sure what Bugatti had in mind when they were designing this car.
Its less royalty and more rich footballer.

This is a trully vulgar car!!
Makes the RR Phantom drophead look understated!

Up on rsportscars.com for a while now.

Beneath the bonnet, which folds back from both sides, there resides a 16-cylinder, 8-litre engine with two-stage supercharging. What makes this so special is that it was developed as a flex-fuel 2 Bugatti engine, and can optionally be run on ethanol. Four-wheel drive, specially developed ceramic brakes and a new suspension design give the car agile, precise handling despite its saloon dimensions.

Which probably means it's gonna ride like an Audi a wagon. I don't think it looks too bad. Probably looks fine when it's dark.

Though this was the concept Bugatti came up with before they came up with the Veyron.

So the production model might be slightly different and maybe less vulgar!
