With petrol and diesel...

With petrol and diesel nearing ÷£1 a litre, criminals are fitting fake number plates to their vehicles, filling up at the pumps and then driving off without paying - leaving no trace of their identity.



The add-on lamps work...

The add-on lamps work in two modes: one for cornering and the other for driving in foggy conditions. The 90mm unit - which uses powerful H7 halogen bulbs normally found in headlights - is activated by a sensor while cornering at less than 20mph or when you operate the indicators at higher speeds. The lamp illuminates up to 70 degrees left or right. Unlike its predecessor, the new system is used only on dipped headlights - the original worked solely with full beam. The latest version also features swivelling rather than fixed bulbs, so the two lamps can also be employed as foglights. When the unit is in this mode, however, cornering vision is limited to 45 degrees rather than 70.

Check out the latest official shots of what Bugatti hopes will be the worldò€™s fastest four-door.

The super-luxurious Galibier 16C saloon gets the same 8.0-litre 16-cylinder engine as seen in the Veyron coupéò€¦ and a colossal price tag to match!

With the design and engineering emphasis on ultimate luxury, the Ò£900,000 model features an opulent leather and wood interior, providing room for four.Detailing is kept to a minimum inside, with only two central dials forming the instrument binnacle.

There is, however, a dashboard timepiece by Swiss watch maker Parmigiani which can be taken out and worn, plus a small TV screen atop the transmission tunnel.

And although the Galibier is a far more luxurious proposition than its coupé brother, it will still pack a punch. Boasting a detuned 800bhp version of the Veyronò€™s engine, plus a lightweight body made of aluminium and carbon fibre, its top speed should be a highly impressive 220mph.

The 16C is also set to get an eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission instead of the Veyronò€™s twin-clutch DSG unit.

Although the car is only a concept, Bugatti clearly has high hopes for its showstopper. A launch date of 2013 is being rumoured, and it would fill the void left when production of the Veyron finally ends.
