2013 Bugatti Bordeaux – spy pics

By Matt Brogan |

A few weeks back we brought you pics of Bugatti’s new four-door, the Bordeaux, and we promised we would bring more to you as soon as they became available.

So when our graphic artists sent us a couple of glossy teaser pics this afternoon, we thought we’d post them immediately.

As discussed in an earlier post, the four-seater hyper-car will be properly unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and will feature a front mounted engine, expected to be a detuned version of the Veyron’s 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16, that will produce 735kW and 1250Nm.

CarAdvice will keep you posted on any developments as they come to hand.


 
  • Sam, the original

    I wonder why they want to detune the engine?

  • http://www.caradvice.com.au Matt

    Sam I think you’ll find they can’t bear the thought of having anything – even in their own stable – beating the Veyron.

  • Double-A

    Back isnt too bad. Something wrong with the front. Doenst fit

  • Jazrod

    thank God these are only renderings…

  • Grammar Nazi

    The dimensions look exactly bang-on with the Panamera. I was certain these were rendered over the top of existing Porsche images.

    That means one of two things – the team at Porsche either came up with the most efficient way of packaging a four-door sports car (and Bugatti came up with a similar conclusion); or that the team at Bugatti liked what they saw.

    It looks like it suffers from some form of Rice-boyism with those eight tailpipes…

  • Simon

    Schumacher calls off F1 comeback

  • Captain Mainwaring

    Grammar Nazi is right. This is a photoshop job on a Panamera. Too conservative for the new Bugatti – the real pictures of this have been seen elsewhere.

    Eight tailpipes?!?!?

  • Tim

    And I thought you couldn’t look worse than a Panamera…

  • mark

    that thing makes the panamera look like miranda kerr!

  • Myke

    That looks completely unrealistic. Especially when you start with the Panamera, what’s that quote about putting lipstick of a pig…
    They should atleast make a good attempt with the spy pics, that first pic looks like the Bordeaux is sitting on 15′ steelies.

  • Shak

    Whats with the 8 tailpipes. Why dont they try something classy like the Veyron.

  • Jazrod

    Shak, it’s going back on some bugatti history… the Bugatti Atlantic had 6tailpipes (all next to eachother), and this car was made in the 30′s/40′s.

  • Alan

    I know it’s photoshop and not the real deal, but still have to say the front looks rather odd. Back end is much nicer, but 8 pipes? bit OTT isn’t it?

    It really reminds me of EB112 concept long time ago

  • Yanzo

    looks stupid, like the panarama, wtf? looks bette rthen the panarama though

  • ZANDIT

    Looks more like a photoshop of a Maserati up the side not a Porsche

    I have been to Bordeaux, and it was beautiful. Lets hope the car lives up to it.

  • http://carAdvice The Salesman

    I heard a rumor the Bugatti coast 5 million dollars to develop and that VW loose money on every sale. They built the Bugatti just to show off and prove they could do it.

  • NacaYoda

    The Salesman: Try ~AUD$12million each for the original Bugatti Veyron in development and produciton costs. ~AUD$2million purchase price. Bargain, no?

  • WVB

    whatever the abu dahbi locals want, the abu dahbi locals get……..

  • Will

    Too expensive for me…

  • Steve-Poyza

    I think the 8 tailpipes are too much. Sorry.
    I am also thankful that these are not official pics.

  • Shak

    WVB i think you’ll find that cashed up Hollywood types also find this sort of metal…..um appealing.

  • Blab

    How the heck do you pronounce its name!?

  • Golfschwein

    It’s French, Blab. Boar doe.

  • Jeremy

    Blab, Just say Boar-Dukes. If you take Golfschwein’s advice, you’ll appear too cultured and refined… you need to fit with the gauche, tasteless, in-your-face noveau-riche society should you wish to drive in something so hideously crass as a modern Bugatti.

  • Alan

    The Salesman, I think it was 5 million euro per car for development cost so the whole exercise was money losing. However, i read that VW’s thinking was it’s cheaper than entering F1 for a season to raise vw group awareness and to showcase what the company is capable of.
