The maker that has brought us the famous record-breaking Veyron supercar is about to bite the hand that feeds them by ending its production. Instead, Bugatti plans on spending their time building luxury sedans. Right now, the child in us is blowing raspberries at the French company. The new Bugatti luxury sedan is expected to debut sometime in 2014, but not much else is known about the model. Now, thanks to the German publication, Spiegel, we have just a couple of more details to share. Now that Audi and Porsche are responsible for all the luxury models in the Volkswagen Group, the future Bugatti sedan will end up being built on the same platform as the Audi A8. Being a Bugatti model, it will be limited to only 300 units and will carry a price tag similar to the Veyron, meaning that only few of us will have the chance to actually drive one. The sedan model will feature design elements from the Bugatti’s latest concept, the 16 C Galibier. The 16 C concept features the traditional Bugatti radiator complimented by big round LED lit headlamps and the clamshell running the length of the vehicle, which became synonymous with the brand identity under Jean Bugatti in the Type 57. .
15 comments: Bugatti’s future sedan to be built on Audi A8 platform Whoa! It’’s really expensive! I wonder if i could actually loan for this car and maybe I could take 20year to fully pay it 
 I’m sure they’ll also make a new engine for this platform. with such weight the engine should compensate with out sacrificing so much speed drop.
 Lovely, but isn’t that the frame of audi r8 is heavier? hope the bugatti sedan can perform well as the original bugatti do.
 Infiniti’s new luxury model, the Infiniti M, actually made its debut at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show, although it qualifies on our ‘Best of 2010’ because it was officially released in showrooms at the early part of this year.
 As always, there’s no confirmation from either Bugatti or Volkswagen Group, so we’re still waiting for a statement on the matter to confirm or deny the report.
 totally I agree they cannot be the best until there are competitors around, being the best is really thought you always needed to be one step ahead of your competitor.
 This is good for Audi; seriously good, but not enough! Audi needs to appeal to the masses and not the exclusive; especially in the US. Need to take some of that marketing budget and get in the streets! Let people see the brand in action, not just read about it!
 haha...on Audi A8 platform? a super sedan will be built on a luxury sedan. thats good news actually.
