New Bugatti sedan teaser... 8 exhaust pipes?!?!

http://www.worldcarfans.com/10907172...image-surfaces



8 tail pipes and a mohawk brake light? I'm really hoping it won't look as stupid as I think it will.

If anything, the Veyron needed to be more flamboyant, not this Saloon. I hope it turns out better than the Bentley Grand.

I imagine the engine will be a W-16? Just as wild as a V-8 having quad pipes.

8 exhaust pipes sucks, no matter what car it is.

It looks like this 'sedan' is going to be a 'hatchback' like the A5 sportback and Panamera. (Watch)

Seriously, can't they be satisfied with the Veyron? Why ruin a good name by making this? It's worse than Porsche making the Cayenne and Panamera...

Bugatti was making concept sedans before they even though about making the Veyron (or even its prototypical ancestors)

It came before the Chiron:

I will say only one thing that it is great.

As if a 1001Hp coupe that weighs 4k lbs does make sense? Cars like this aren't about making sense, and never have been. The sedan will be no different. There's a market for it, and they're going to take advantage of it. Can't blame them there, especially since they're still loosing money on every Veyron sold.
