Veyron and Galibier: Bugatti reveals ultimate two car garage

Bugatti has released a picture of the world's greatest two car garage - but you'll need a fair wedge to afford it. While most will make do with a BMW 3 Series and a Mini Cooper, Bugatti has the Veyron and the 16C Galibier Concept.
That's a 1,001bhp, 253mph hypercar for the weekend and a four-door hyper-saloon for the daily jaunt to work - presumably somewhere in the UAE.
The 16C Galibier is currently only a concept, but there's a good chance it'll see production as the world's most exquisite and expensive super-saloon - it would cost well in excess of £1 million.
Under the bonnet of the 16C Galibier is an 8-litre, twin-supercharged engine and it has four-wheel drive plus ceramic brakes. Bugatti hasn't released any performance figures but this will make it fast, ludicrously fast. Oh, and there are EIGHT tailpipes.
The front is unmistakeably Bugatti, with a grille and headlights giving more than a whiff of the Veyron. But it does have a rump similar to the Porsche Panamera - a car which has had its fair share of critics.
Bugatti has emphasised the Galibier is just one of several concept studies that the company is considering, but they should really make this because let's be honest, it's going to sell.
Normally we'd say the 16C Galibier will be on its way to a motor show near you, but Bugatti only appears to be showing it to potential customers at exclusive events. Shame.
