Trouble might be brewing within Bugatti->ke16 with reports stating that the company might hold off on the production of the Galibier. Apparently, the brand's head honchos are experiencing some trepidation over the vehicle not being powerful enough.

Clearly, 800 horsepower for a luxury sedan is a staggering output, but for the standards of Bugatti, it is, in the words of company CEO, Wolfgang Durheimer, "not outrageous enough."

The word comes from a source who talked to Inside Line, claiming that despite being the "most exclusive, elegant, and powerful four door automobile in the world," the Galibier is still falling short of the lofty expectations Bugatti has set for itself. The fear, at least according to the source, appears to be that the Galibier is still not the "conversation stopper" the Veyron was when it first came out.

According to the source, Bugatti wants to close the door on all of its competitors when their Galibier->ke3516 enters the market. "In his opinion, there should not even be a question about the best car in the world when you sit down to discuss it with your billionaire buddies," the source said.

"He doesn't want to build it until it's the car that finishes the argument, not the car that starts it."

For now, the plans are to hold off production of the Galibier for a later date, or at least until Bugatti figures out a way to improve on the luxury sedan's performance capabilities. When that will be is still anyone's guess. But at least Bugatti's trying to nip the problem in the bud before the Galibier gets exposed.
