More details:
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/picture-vistajet-makes-history-with-la...

So a total of 6 new firm orders for Global 8000, and 6 options.

Vistajet is also the launch customer:
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/paris-vistajet-becomes-global-8000-lau...

Does it mean that the firm order total stands at 16 Global 8000-s for Vistajet, or has Vistajet made more orders in the meantime?

Global 8000 shall enter into service in 2017. Does anyone have a flight simulator of Global 8000?

I pity and poor B'stards who have to work on them. Bombardier do not build aircraft, they assemble them from a box of bits that are sent from the four corners of this world. If it is anything like the quality of the Q400, then we should start crying now.................
