Road Strikers

This project was started as the final project for my Design Process II in Fall 2012 class in second term Transportation Design program at Art Center College of Design. The assignment was to design a concept vehicle based on the iconic Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic. I took the loyalty approach to the baseline of the Type 57 design and created an owner’s profiled based on top 100 loyal costumers of Bugatti. Since the Bugatti type 57 is one of the most favorable model names manufactured by Bugatti, the production limit for this concept would be 101 cars(This is all just a story and fictional, and it holds no ground in reality, hopefully in future. As a part of the process I chose my inspiration images and started off developing the concept with the line sketches through 4-5 weeks. Then we started the tape drawing of the concept based on our final sketches. And these are the final 3D renderings of my Concept Hope you enjoy. If you have any kind of information about this car than please co...

Bugatti Chiron: artist's impression by CAR The Bugatti Veyron in action: here as 16.4 Grand SportW16 engine continues, quad turbos get electrified ► Bugatti Chiron revealed by CAR ► Exclusive artist’s impression ► Full details on 1500bhp Veyron Mk2 How to replace a modern-day supercar legend like the Bugatti Veyron? Why, with an even faster, more tech laden and brawnier hypercar, of course. The new May 2015 issue of CAR magazine lifts the lid on the new 2016 Bugatti Chiron - revealed in our exclusive artist’s impression by Motor Forecast above. This is a hypercar unlike no other, carrying on where the Veyron 16.4 left off and trampling all over the Top Trumps stats of cars such as the LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918. Not in driver enjoyment and pure-bred thrills, perhaps, but certainly in all-out stat-off war. The new Bug sticks with 16 cylinders arranged again in W formation (a 14-cylinder engine was contemplated, our sources report), with powe...

MANSORY are adding to their modified Bugatti Veyron 16.4 range with the VIVERE. After the exclusive luxury car specialist’s presentation of the VINCERO in March 2009, MANSORY dazzle once more with their artistry as a car modifier, and they have transformed the Bugatti Veyron into the strictly limited MANSORY VIVERE with a number of targeted touches. Compared to its predecessor the VINCERO, the VIVERE has received a comprehensive facelift at the front, consisting of modified wings, a shortened bonnet and a striking front apron. The integrated LED daytime running lights in the front section create a particular accent, and the stylised “V” used pays hommage to the name VIVERE. The newly developed side skirts act as a visual and aerodynamic link between the two axles. Larger air outlets on the flanks of the vehicle and at the rear give optimised motor cooling, and together with the new diffuser and the two air intakes, they underline the transition from roof to bonnet on ...

Good timing with the new Bugatti Grand Sport (2009) hypercar. The polar ice caps are melting and the world’s in the middle of the worst financial crisis since John Steinbeck was still scratching around in the dust bowl looking for a pencil, yet Bugatti manages to gauge the zeitgeist perfectly and unleash a £1.5m convertible supercar that emits 596g/km CO2. Sleeping polar bears? One little Bugatti isn’t going to hurt, and anyway, there’ll always be sufficient disgustingly rich people to buy a truly outrageous car like the drop-top Veyron Grand Sport. So how fast is the world’s fastest hair dryer? As fast as the regular Veyron, at least with the roof in place when you can insert the second key to engage the top speed mode that drops the car closer to the ground and tweaks the angle of the spoilers. Do that, find enough road and you’ll hit 253mph. With the roof off, you can’t use the second key and are limited to a mere 224mph. Pah! What about p...

Obscure supercars come and go, each proclaiming to be faster than the Bugatti Veyron. Five years after driving the original Veyron, it's time to try this final evolution of the species, the Super Sport, a car that should secure Bugatti the ‘World’s Fastest’ title for some time. How has a standard Bugatti Veyron become a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport? By gaining an additional 196bhp and 184lb ft, thanks to bigger intercoolers and four enlarged turbochargers. The 0-62mph time doesn’t improve (it’s still a stunning 2.5 seconds) but the 0-125mph times drops (7.3sec to 6.7), as does that all important 0-186mph sprint (16.7 seconds down to 14.6), and the top speed climbs to 268mph. Or at least it would if Bugatti hadn’t limited the Super Sport’s top whack to 259mph for the sake of the tyres – the standard Veyron is limited to 254mph. There are other changes, too. The redesigned nose features bigger brake cooling ducts, a differnt bumper for more...

This is the Bugatti Veyron Vitesse. Or to give it its full name: the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. It’s the ultimate Veyron, mixing the targa-roofed (and reinforced) body of the Grand Sport with the upgraded 1183bhp engine from the world record-breaking Super Sport. It’s yours for £1.6m. 1183bhp? In a convertible Bugatti Veyron? Are you sure? Yes we are. All Veyrons have an 8.0-litre W16 engine with four turbochargers (hence the 16.4 designation) but the Vitesse features the Super Sport’s version, with upgraded intercoolers and four larger turbos. And the increases in power and torque aren’t small: 987bhp and 922lb ft has become 1183bhp and 1106lb ft. What other go-faster variant on the planet has an extra 196bhp? That’s nearly a whole Golf GTI’s worth of extra horsepower! And if you’ve ever even thought about the environment then you’ll feel sorry for Mother Nature’s resources when you see the consumption and emis...

The Bugatti Super-Sedan Concept is an individual design proposal for a four-seat, ultra luxurious sedan. Its creator is Macedonian designer Dejan Hristov. The Bugatti Super-Sedan concept features a number of styling cues inspired by the Veyron, but there’s also plenty of new ideas on display too. For example, when not in use, the headlights are hidden behind a body-colored panel, giving the car an unique appearance from the front. The doors open in a gullwing manner, exposing both the front and rear rows of seats. There isn’t much more information on the Bugatti Super-Sedan concept, except to say the proposed drivetrain includes a four-wheel drive transmission.

For more than a century now, Bugatti has always remained an epitome of luxury, exclusivity, style, elegance and extraordinary design. The company has a long legacy in the design and manufacture of outstanding automobile brands. And so, when the release of the Bugatti 16C Galibier was announced in late 2009, there was considerable interest generated among the elite. Its specialty lies in the fact that this is Bugatti's first ever four-door sedan and they have spared no effort or expense in loading it up with the best in comfort and luxury. The production model is due to arrive anytime in 2012 or 2013 and Bugatti seeks to create it as a sedan which is peerless. The car has been compared to more than a dozen cars in its design and capabilities, but we must say that, on a whole, it is something totally unique. The car is expected to sell at about $1.6 million.

The Bugatti Veyron is, by every measure, the world's most extreme production road car. It's the quickest to 60, has the highest top speed, and it can absolutely dominate a track in spite of its weight. The original Veyron claimed 1,001 horsepower, which in itself was a major technical achievement. Its engine, boasting 16 cylinders, was essentially formed by joining two V8 engines at the crank. The W16 powerplant displaces 8.0-liters and features ten radiators for everything from the engine cooling systems to the air conditioner. The standard Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Coupe ran a cool $1.3 million and could reach a top speed of 253 mph - a speed it can maintain for 12 minutes before all the fuel is gone. Power is transmitted to the pavement via four-wheel-drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. The car could hit 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, 100 mph in 5.5 seconds, and 150 mph in 9.8 seconds. Getting to 200 mph took 18.3 seconds, and 250 mph takes 42.3 sec...
