This is the Bugatti Galibier, the car destined to be the world’s fastest sedan.

The Volkswagen-owned supercar maker has built a prototype of the new sedan to gauge customer reaction to the fast-back four-door sedan. If the feedback is positive, the project will go ahead.

The Galibier four-door is named after a hill that makes up part of the Tour de France road course. It uses the same 8.0-litre W16 engine as the two-door Veyron supercar, which is capable of speeds of more than 400km/h.

There are some differences to the Veyron, though. The Galibier drops the quad-turbos in favour of a pair of mechanical superchargers, and the engine is mounted in the front of the car rather than behind the seats.

The Galibier uses four-wheel drive, and reports suggest it will produce somewhere in the region of 600kW and more than 1000Nm of torque.

The car is expected to be fitted with a regular eight-speed automatic transmission, rather than the seven-speed dual-clutch version fitted to the Veyron.

Inside, brown leather abounds, with some of the finest fit and finish work around. There are some neat touches, like the flip-away clock and the circular speedometer that reads all the way up to 390km/h.

There’s even an optional range of hand-made leather luggage to match the interior - though it’s probably likely to set you back about the cost of a Commodore. Per bag.

The Galibier is expected to be somewhere in the $2 million range if it indeed does make it to production, and Bugatti are reportedly keen to get the first of up to 300 Galibiers on the road by 2013.

Bugatti’s Veyron production run is scheduled to end in 2012, so the Galibier could well be its successor.

Somehow i doubt FPV will claim the title the Phase 3 did back in its time
