Bugatti showed the 16c Galibier Concept to a very selected few back in September at its headquarters in Molsheim, France.

Next month at the Los Angeles Auto Show general public can also take a look at this exclusive, elegant and probably the world’s most powerful four-door automobile.

With this new four-door concept car, Bugatti assumes once again a leading role in the use of new material combinations. For example, the body is constructed of handmade carbon fibre parts coloured dark blue so that, when illuminated, the woven structure strikingly shimmers through. Carbon fibre not only possesses exceptionally great rigidity but is also especially light. The wings and doors are made out of polished aluminium.

With the typical Bugatti radiator grille, unusual, round LED headlights and the clamshell running the length of the vehicle, which became synonymous with the brand identity under Jean Bugatti in the Type 57, this car transports the Bugatti genes into the modern world.

Power comes from a modified 16-cylinder, 8-liter engine that in the Veyron is quad-turbocharged, but in 16C Galibier is supercharged. No word on the power output, but it is rumored to pack around 800 horsepower.
