Amateur designer daydreams: What a 2010 Bugatti Royale could look like
Bugatti has stated that it is not going anywhere, and that there will be another model, and that it won't be an entry-level model. (Never mind the fact that an "entry level" Bugatti could still cost $800,000.) What they haven't stated is what kind of model it will be, except to say that it will remain the best of the best.
We aren't sure who's responsible for the rendering above, but if Bugatti were to go the sedan/limo route, this is one person's idea of a new Bugatti Royale. From this angle, we are definitely in. It's a car in which we could see going very fast, very comfortably, on our way to Biarritz with three of those damsels we met at the craps table in Monaco.From the rear, however... well, things go less... winningly. We can understand the concept of a shooting brake -- but a Bugatti Royale Wagon? Looking at that elegantly sloping expanse just makes us want to go shopping. Very quickly, still, and for very expensive stuff... but shopping nonetheless.

Totally agree, that would be one bad ass car, as long as you close your eyes when it passes you because that rear end is ugly.

It's got the prow of a Ford Edsel and the a$$ of a Porsche Panamera test mule.

Ack! That rear end is horrendous! The front end mildly resembles an RS6. (good for the RS6 though ;-))

LOL! The reason it looks good from the front and quarter views is because it was almost directly lifted from the Veyron. Ass is terrible though, makes me want to scratch my eyes out. Wait, scratch that, it makes me want to scratch out the eyes of whomever came up with it.
P.S. Anyone speak Czech and want to translate? :)

From the front-side angle, it could easily be a photoshop of the 2010 Jaguar XJ sedan. The roof and side windows seem to be close copies. Anyway, it has that slightly sinister presence many ultra-luxury cars go after.

Looks like this is based somewhat on Bugatti's last large saloon concept, the EB112: http://www.conceptcar.ee/bugatti/eb112/index.html
The rear on that render is a bit too chubby and it's a pretty bad angle anyway, but this could be pretty cool if they ever actually put it into production.

Thanks for showing; I was looking for a pic of that. While the EB112 is too 90's-looking to be introduced today, with a little work it could look pretty good. I like this one even better:

Good catch, I forgot they put out a newer concept a few years later. It does show that Bugatti has been updating the same basic premise for a while now without any actual product coming out of it, so the odds of this rendering ever seeing production look pretty slim.

even uglier than the Veyron. Looks like a set piece from the fifth-element. I mean, that was a cool movie, but,... no.

From the pig-snout grille to the 8-month pregnant rear with limited visibility, this is one ugly POS.
