So far the automotive cognoscenti of the world have hypothesized that Bugatti is considering a targa version of the Veyron and a downmarket "entry-level" coupe. As a matter of fact, this is not the first time a Veyron-based sedan has been brought up. Bugatti has been mum, of course, but that doesn't stop people from producing renderings. Lehmann and company have just produced a new one forecasting a Veyron-based sedan that would feature an 950-hp, 8.0-liter engine mounted up front. Such a vehicle would likely adopt the four-door coupe profile that's so in vogue right now. A projected price pegs the Veyron sedan at a cool one million bucks. It's highly likely based on the success of the Veyron that Bugatti will build another car, and a sedan is the best bet based on concepts produced by the company before the Veyron came to be.

Bring it on!

I think it's very seriously and it should be considered now

It would make sense to get the most of all of that money spent developing the Veyron. They will propably use the platform as much as possible in other models, maybe even for some of the other marquees in the portfolio of WAG.
A four door, and maybe a limo, would be very much in the spirit of Bugattis of yesteryear.

After that, the next step would be a Bugatti SUV :-)

A limo! lol...one thousand horsepower, all wheel drive, and a cooler in the back for wine bottles. I'll ask my wife if we can get one of those.

The idea of a Bugatti sedan is not new. Indeed, the Veyron is over ten years in the making with lots of false starts in between. The four-door was alongside the coupe in the minds of VW staff all along.

Looks like an overpriced Chevy Vega to me.

Don't forget to make a pick-up. Afterall, VW doesn't make one anymore.

What a beautiful idea. I can't wait to see what they come up with.
Terry @ Aug 15th 2006 1:56AM
Why only 950 HP?.I simply must have at least 1000!

Something else for people to display their obscene wealth in an obscene way... Another car that no one needs, except for lack of self-consciousness, and then the money woukd be better invested with a therapist...

how else am i supposed to carry passengers in my Veyron, will always be good to choose between 2 and 4 doors with just under 1000 hp.
