| [20 Sep 09] :: Bugatti Galibier = Bentley Mulsanne |
 Perhaps it was to be expected, but Mr. Michiel van den Brink made it painfully clear:
The Bugatti 16C Galibier is basicly a Bentley Mulsanne with upgraded engine, and slightly different coachwork. Although Mr. Paefgen denied this some time ago in all languages, it seems that he did not tell the truth.
An older interview:
Paefgen wants to crush rumors that the new Bugatti saloon will share parts with the new Bentley Mulsanne into dust. Says Paefgen, 'A Bugatti saloon will have different dimensions and be a completely different concept. In fact it's hard to find any similarities at all.'
See the picture attached, and judge for yourself.

| [20 Sep 09] :: New 3rd party exhaust system for Bugatti Veyron |
 Can a Veyron be improved? Mansory already tried, but now a second company did some work.
Quicksilver Exhausts made an exhaust system to improve the for some too civilised exhaust noise. As a bonus, weight went down from 19 to 11,6 kgs. This gives you an advantage twice: First it is easier to drag your new exhaust to the car, if you buy it on a car show, and also it saves you 7.4 kgs in the rear end of the car.
If power output has improved, is not (yet) known. For more info and pictures:
