Bugatti 16 C Galibier Edition

Bugatti’s first modern four-door sedan was revealed this week at the Geneva Motor Show, just a few months after it was first teased to the press. To say the new Bugatti 16 C Galibier Edition is breathtaking would be an understatement, as this return to original form is a stunning achievement for the French automaker.

The Bugatti 16 C Galibier Edition takes the brand’s emphasis away from the now trademark sectional front-end design for a more refined appeal. Earlier renderings showed the 16 C with its typical raised grill and dropped headlights in blue and silver, but the design here seems to have unified these sections in an all black paint job.

Bugatti was originally known for luxury, and while this emphasis never really passed, the focus of the mark seemed to be on performance. That Bugatti grille and back-end logo look so comfortable on this design, as the emphasis on luxury seems to have returned to Bugatti’s primary focus– at least in this vehicle.

Cost : $ 1.6 Million

Motus Motorcycles

Motus Motorcycles, a new startup motorcycle manufacturer based here in the United States, has some grand plans in the works to change the perception – right or wrong as the sentiment may be – that American motorcycles are slow, rumbly, V-twin powered behemoths. The first salvo fired by Motus will be a new sport touring motorcycle called the MTS-01, which will be powered by an all-American V4 engine. Much of the architecture of that power plant will be instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the classic American V8.

Katech, a Michigan-based firm that supplies engines to General Motors and its Pratt and Miller Corvette racers, designed and engineered the cam-in-block (push rods instead of overhead cams), two valve per cylinder, 1650cc engine, which is expected to put out around 140 horsepower and possibly as much as 120 pound-feet of torque. Modern updates to the tried-and-true design are capped off by gasoline direct injection technology for improved performance and cleaner emissions.
