English translation:

Bugatti: in the crisis winter

Expensive cars with powerfull engines are affected the economic crisis and there are clearly fewer customers. Affected are car makers such as the VW daughter companies Bentley and Bugatti, the only build it. Nevertheless crisis is not. "We will spend the winter and wait what comes. If in twelve months the scenario will be significantly worse than in time, we must have a few things to do for reflection.
But at the moment I see this is not," said Franz-Josef Paefgen, head of Bentley and Bugatti. Then he reacts to the market, as all manufacturers. "We need to reduce inventories, the production dramatically curb the temporary workers through its own people replace build time accounts and the early retirement". Engines which also includes Bentley in the future. Prepare is technically in addition to Ethanol, hybrid and downsizing. "But we, as mark too small to play the Forerunners. As soon as a trend has stood the test and has been established, we will soon with the appropriate products will follow suit," said Paefgen.
By contrast with Bugatti Paefgen do not see any drop in sales. "Our customers have lost their assets parts, but not impoverished." New Veyron model (Gran Sport) production run will be 150 units, 80 slots of which already booked. And that is without exact price quotation.

bugatti will present the new bugatti centenaire during the motorshow in geneva. please take a look to the official list of exhibitors there is this hint!
Do you think this is a complete new model or the additional speed kit for the veyron?

I suppose that will be Ettore Bugatti edition Veyron. I was told that it is possible that there will be another Gran Sport Veyron showed at Geneva. Just wait week and a half and we will see.

I agree with bugatti91 and must disagree with Veyron82.
I think there will be the Grand Sport (1st time in Europa) and perhaps the Vincero at Mansory.
I will see and picture them tuesday morning!

It's too soon for an annoncement about the future after Veyron.

I was told that another Ettore Bugatti edition Veyron will be shown at Geneva to celebrate centenery year, I would be surprised if they will not show something unique due to centenary celebration. May be some unique Gran Sport. Oh boy, I can hardly wait for Geneva.

It is absolutely great if true, but I think that this is same scum as "secret messages" about Veyron GT, not only autoblog had published them, those reports are everywhere in the net now. I was told that Bugatti will show another Ettore Bugatti edition Veyron, I do not know coupe or some unique Gran Sport. But who knows, if there are too many customers switched their orders from Veyron coupe to Gran Sport, Bugatti can develop some extraordinary version of coupe to keep orders coming in. I would like to add also that I will be more than happy if that report is true and phrase world premiere lets me hope that it can be so or at least Bugatti will show really unique edition at Geneva.
