Post subject:  New Bugatti Royale

In Photoshop I've created my vision on a future Royale.

About a year ago I took a picture of the Cadillac Sixteen Conceptcar and converted it to this modern Royale:

Edit: picture removed

How do you like it?

This looks very good, would be nice if they would make it!

However, personally I would like a slightly bigger Grille for the car, to change the front from a sportscar look into a more "Royale" appearance! Maybe you can change this?

Look at all the great luxury cars, Mercedes, RR, Bentley, Maybach: they all have an impressive front.

This smaller grille can be maintained, but for a smaller sports saloon.

Post subject:  Bugatti new model

After a slow launch, the ultra-luxury carmaker, Bugatti, is quickly ramping up production. Of course, that still means rolling out just 70 of its $1.4 million V-16-powered Veyrons next year, compared with 50 in 2006, said Thomas Bscher, president of the Volkswagen AG subsidiary. At that rate, the company will quickly wrap up production of the Veyron, having stated a goal of building no more than 300 copies overall. The question is what will come next, said the executive, adding that he hopes to have a decision made by mid-2007.



"There will be another car," despite rumors and reports that Bugatti might be a one-trick pony, insisted Bscher. In the near-term, Bugatti is likely to produce a small number of high-priced supercars, variants based on the Veyron, but longer-term, the Volkswagen subsidiary may turn in a very different direction. One possibility, said Bscher, would be to go into a much lower-priced market segment. That could increase potential sales significantly, but Bugatti can't go too low, or it might wind up competing with the roughly $150,000 GT, built by VW sibling division, Bentley. On the other hand, potential sales become extremely limited - and in the process, so does profitability - if Bugatti's next venture runs more than $300,000.



As it is, the Veyron has proven to be a mixed success, even in Bscher's assessment. At the current price tag, "We're just making a small, small profit," he told TheCarConnection.com, during an interview at the Los Angeles Motor Show. And that's just counting the cost of actually building the Veyron. If one added in development costs, acknowledged Bscher, "It would be a big loss." While there is a benefit to the halo Bugatti provides the overall VW group, that just won't be tolerable going forward, the Bugatti CEO stressed. So the company continues struggling to come up with a plan that will pass muster with the parent company.

So what would be the route to follow?

A 2 seater sportscar, capable of high speeds (which will never be possible anymore on European routes). However, a lot of people in Europe are retiring now, and will be able to spend some cash on a machine like that.

The other route is "a new Royale" which should be the ultimate travelling car, preferably with chauffeur.
Could be used by the same clientele.

What do you think?
