Buy a stock Mercedes C-class. Plenty of room in there. Take it to your nearest tuning center and have a Brabus Engine kit fitted with a decent set of shocks, rims and tyres. Finished. 530hp for half the money of the cars you suggested....

Bugatti has revealed their Galibier. The engine is still 8 l W16, but it is derated to 800 horses by replacing Veyron´s turbochargers with superchargers. The length of the car is estimated at 528 cm, and maximum speed at 350 km/h.

How do you think does the back seat headroom of Galibier compare with Porsche Panamera?

The rear view of that looks a lot like the Porsche. Huh

I like it, and being a Bugatti, and for what they are going to charge for it... it had better have a way more spacious and luxurious backseat. Grin

I still can't get used to the idea of some of these nameplates having 4 doors & backseats. I'm still waiting to see if Lambo will give the go on their 4-door. If they do, Ferrari will surely follow. Roll Eyes

I really don't quite understand why Bugatti bothered with the Veyron and now why they are making this thing.

It is a rich person's car, but I don't think it is a smart person's one.

Maybe Bugatti followed Ferrari and Lambo are a step behind. Ferrari have already done it.........And I would have one in a heart beat Cool

At some point, everybody and their dog was planning sporty 4-doors.

Is Aston Martin Rapide still going forward?

Seems it is.

But the specifications are worrying.
http://www.astonmartin.com/eng/thecars/rapide/specification

502 cm long - but 136 cm high.

A photo they show:
http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/aston-martin-rapide-production/#11

But this does not quite clarify the amount of headroom - and Panamera, 6 cm higher, has been critizised for poor headroom.

Numbers do matter, except for dwarves maybe.
