We’ve been seeing leaked teaser shots of what has become to be known as the Bugatti Bordeaux – the company’s next model. According to Bugatti’s boss Dr. Franz-Josef Pfaegen, the Bordeaux is just one of the three proposals for the next model that will be unveiled in September.

AutoCar says that the concept will hint at a future four-door Bugatti. Pfaegen killed rumors that the production Bugatti sedan will be based on the newly unveiled Bugatti Mulsanne, which was launched at Pebble Beach this past weekend.

“A Bugatti saloon will have different dimensions and be a completely different concept. In fact it’s hard to find any similarities at all [with the new Bentley],” Pfaegen told Autocar. ”A Bugatti is designed and developed for a total volume of not more than 150, so that allows completely different materials and technology.”

Pfaegen said that any future Bugatti model will remain very exclusive as the Veyron.

Earlier this month, a teaser showing a new Bugatti model hit the internet creating speculation that Bugatti was getting set to release a four-seater concept at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show with a Bordeaux badge. It was later reported that Bugatti will not be showing the concept in Frankfurt – instead, it was said that the Bordeaux is scheduled to be shown to Bugatti’s clients and dealers around the same time as the Frankfurt show. Confused? Yeah – so are we.

As we eagerly wait for Bugatti confirm something or the other, UK’s CAR Magazine has released a rendering of the Bordeaux; however, they attempt to make life a little more difficult by calling it the Royale (a name we’ve previously seen related to a Bugatti sedan).

“It”s one of two Bugattis pencilled into the product development cycle between now and 2018,” says CAR.

Look out for the Bordeaux / Royale sometime in 2011.

When a grainy teaser of a new Bugatti started making its way around the Internet earlier this month, speculations began that Bugatti will be debuting a brand new four-seater model called the Bordeaux at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September. What’s true is that Bugatti is working on a new model – what remains to be factual information is that the car is indeed a four-seater Bugatti or successor to the Veyron.

Whatever it is, Bugatti confirmed to The Car Connection that it is indeed preparing to reveal a new concept to its clients and dealers; however, it won’t be until a couple of years that Bugatti actually produces an official model for the auto show floors.

We have our fingers crossed and hope that some pics will leak out from the centennial celebration of the Bugatti brand. The celebration will take place in September where Bugatti will show its dealers and clients the new concept.

We’ve already confirmed that the hazy teaser that made its way around the internet earlier this week was of the upcoming Bugatti four-seater shooting brake know as the Bordeaux. We know have a second teaser floating around the internet that gives us a better look at the rear-end of the car.

The Bugatti Bordeaux will be the fastest four-seater in the world powered by its two-seater siblings 8.0L W16 engine making 1,001-hp. 0 to 60 mph should come in just 3 seconds with a top speed of 250 mph.

We’re pretty sure you remember the blurry, hazy teaser we saw of a new Bugatti yesterday. According to AutoExpress, the teaser is of a much-rumored four-seater from the supercar brand scheduled to be unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

So far, the model has been known as the ‘Royale‘ – however, AutoExpress says that the model will officially be called the ‘Bordeaux.’ What the heck does Bordeaux mean? Good ol’ Wikipedia says that “Bordeaux is a port city on the Garonne River in southwest France, with one million inhabitants in its metropolitan area at a 2008 estimate.” What connection does that have with Bugatti? Other than Bugatti being based out of Molsheim, France – we can’t think of anything.

Either way, sources say that the Bugatti Bordeaux will have a shooting-brake body style with horseshoe shaped tail-lights, a split rear-window, and a “dramatic central brake light.”

Power will come from the Veyron’s 8.0L quad-turbo W16 making 987-hp with a maximum torque of 923 lb-ft. That should allow a 0 to 60 mph run in 3 seconds with a top speed of 250 mph, making it the world”s fastest four-seater.
