The rumor mill is in full gear with speculation of a new Bugatti being introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Supposedly the new model, a concept of the Bugatti Royale, could be either a faster, more expensive car. However, what the car is exactly is anyone's guess.

Bugatti has also been rumored to be working on a better-stronger-faster replacement to the Veyron, as well as a more "cost effective" sports sedan. In the current economy, the company certainly has reason to flex their luxe credentials, but they clearly have a need to show off a more "affordable" model. A $200,000 high-end supercar has also been speculated.

The Volkswagen-owned automaker (or is that Porsche-owned?), has also been believed to be working on the Project Lydia, a $3 million, 1175 horsepower super supercar that is more geared for the track than the touring Veyron. "Lydia" theoretically has a tuned up version of the 8-liter quad-turbo W16 currently found on the Veyron. Named for the wife of company-founder Ettore Bugatti, the car could blast through the Veyron's top speed of 400 km/h (249mph).

It would certainly be unusual timing if a new, extremely expensive Royale were to come out now. The original $30,000 Type 41 Royale was planned as a 25-unit limited edition, but since it was introduced at the beginning of the Great Depression, they were only able to sell six. However, in today's money, that would be a sticker price of around $368,800, a far cry from the 1.1 million euro retail price of the Veyron.

Looks like a wiener dog taking a dump

It definitely keeps the style of the veyron...

and then again it kinda looks like a porsche panamera.

That looks like total crap, sorry. If I saw someone driving, I don't care how fast it goes or how much it costs, I'll openly point and laugh at them.

a car cost that much still couldnt match the performance of a car with probably 1/2 the cost. sad.

not for me.

I would like to see othere angles of the car before i pass judgement on it.One thing is for sure, it keeps true to Bugatti's bubble design style.

canaryrx8 04-07-2009 08:19 AM

wow, a car faster than the veyron, wonder if it'll be faster than the Shelby supercar too.

I think my old housemate used to use one of those things on nights when she was having a fight with her boyfriend. She seemed to like it just fine.
