Bugatti isn’t exactly going downmarket with its next product. While most buyers are belt-cinching, and most automakers are downsizing to accommodate a larger proportion of the market as well as those averse to wealth-flaunting, Ferdinand Piech doesn’t give a fuck.

The Galibier, unveiled to some rich dudes in advance of the Frankfurt Motor Show, is a look at what Bugatti has in store. Rather than going after the SSC Ultimate Aero’s top speed crown, Bug is going for families with this new 4-door. But doesn’t Bugatti know that UAE residents are like the Mormons of the East? They have 7 kids per family, at least. Maybe the 2020 Bugatti will address this issue by have 9 seats a la Chevy Suburban.
