Official Bugatti Video or Not !?!

Finally the Bugatti is on YouTube but, with only four videos and very low view rate. They would definitely increase their ratings, as people discover it. I am not going talk about the rating on YouTube, I want to talk about the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse’s YouTube video. It is totally disappointing.

I am not a video expert and I cannot judge it precisely but from a very basic approach to video, I can say that it does not look that exquisite or expensive. Actually, it looks like Bugatti was pushing the agency to finish the video and they did everything in hurry!

Why? Firstly, there is no engine noise! People want to hear W16 Quad Turbo engine! That’s the fantasy of Bugatti. This is like 1900s silent movie, no engine noise. Secondly, the whole video is not that sharp, the contrast of the Veyron’s colour is not clear. Actually, blur footage leads to lose concentration on the car.

During the transitions, the angles are changing from close to very wide and you feel the editing. Also, in the beginning the technical information looks really amateur. Everyone can do this with editing tools. This information should be placed during the video as a caption. So, viewer can associate the right meaning with right moment. Otherwise, for many people 1500 nm torque does not mean anything.

Of course, there are good parts! The intro is really good, the helicopter angles, high speed camera scenes are amazing. It is obvious that, Bugatti spent a lot of money for the video in a compressed time-frame.

On the contrary, some parts of the car is getting inside and outside of the frame too quickly. This shows that camera crew car could not keep up with the Bugatti. Moreover, the scene from the side of the car looks nice in photographs but does not match with this video. Another downside is some of parts are turn into slow by software. They don’t seems to be taken by high speed camera, especially the ones from the helicopter angle.

I don’t like to critise like this but, Bugatti could have made something much much better than this. This car costs nearly € 2 Millions, it is the most expensive production car in automotive history and Bugatti has adequate money to do better. Sorry :(

Bugatti Galibier (2013)


CAR GARAGE | Bugatti Galibier (2013) | Herr has sent mixed messages Dürheimer about 2013 Bugatti Galibier performance. The 2013 Bugatti Galibier is the high-performance, ultra-luxury sedan that's been expected since Volkswagen Group's top-tier division unveiled a like-named concept in fall 2009. It's also the replacement for the 2-seat, mid-engine, mega-power Bugatti Veyron 16.4, the which ends production in 2012 at some 450 units after earning wide acclaim as the world's ultimate sports car. Promising to be the world's ultimate sedan, the Galibier will cost at least $ 1.6 million in today's money, yet will be more Numerous than the Veyron, with planned production of 1.000 to 3.000 units According to Germany's auto motor und sport magazine and Britain's CAR and Auto car . We already know a good deal about the 2013 Bugatti Galibier from the concept and from the above publications' recent interviews with Wolfgang Dürheimer, recruited from Porsche in early 2011 to replace Franz-Josef Paefgen as head of both France-based Bugatti and Britain's Bentley.


Consumer Guide Auto Believes the 2013 Bugatti Galibier will be much like the concept in most respects. The concept may be predictive, employing aluminum doors and front fenders, carbon-fiber body panels topside, and a steel / carbon-fiber mix for the chassis. Unlike the mid-engine Veyron, the Galibier is a front-engine car and its architecture is so far unique within the VW Group, though there's talk of it being adapted for future Bentley and Audi's flagship sedans. The 2013 Bugatti Galibier is also Likely to inherit the concept's basic styling, the which Might be described as "Neo Deco" and is credited to the Bugatti designer Achim Anscheidt.


The 2013 Bugatti Galibier should retain much of the concept's interior design. Highlights here include individual front and rear seats flanking a full-length center console, an overhead panel courtesy-light/switch, acres of leather, and the usual wood and metal Accents. Dürheimer says porcelain trim will be available. It pays homage to the late-1930s streamlined Type 57SC Atlantique coupe penned by Jean Bugatti, the son of company founder artistic Ettore. Key visuals include a smooth lozenge-like profile with sloping "humpback" roof line - complete with lift gate - plus a long hood, Bugatti's traditional "horseshoe" grille, body sides and with a sweeping, low-set "cove" indentations running from the into up swept rear fenders front doors. Head-and tail-lamp clusters mimic the cove's C-shape.


As noted, the 2013 Bugatti Veyron Galibier will borrow the numbingly complex's 8.0-liter W16 engine, all-wheel drive, and, as far as we can tell, 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, though we've heard That a conventional 8-speed automatic may be used instead. Several sources report the Galibier will replace the Veyron's four turbochargers with a pair of superchargers That would furnish Stronger low-end torque to offset the sedan's Greater weight, this in line with Bugatti's aim of offering "the world's fastest, most acceleration, and powerful four -door.
