Bugatti 16C Galibier Patents
The Volkswagen Group continues to assess, if there's enough interest for the Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept, to push plans for a production version. But to avoid a repeat of what happened with the Rolls-Royce Phantom that was cloned, the company decided to trademark the design of the sports saloon at the World Intellectual Property Organization. Notably, the trademark was applied for the concept model.
If the 16C Galibier does get the green light, it will probably go on sale after Bugatti ends production of the Veyron in 2012. The concept model is fitted with a 16-cylinder, 8.0-litre flex-fuel engine with two-stage supercharging that is claimed to generate about 800hp.
Power is channeled to all-four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission while Bugatti also developed a unique suspension and special ceramic brakes for the sports saloon.
