Recently,
Bugatti indicated it’s not going to start working on a new model replacing the
world’s fastest car anytime soon and the recent grim news of the company
struggling to sell the stockpile of 40 Veyrons worth $85 million makes the
situation even worse. But, Italian designer Alan Guerzoni has conceptualized a
new Bugatti, both in the coupe and spider versions, which is a fine blend of
classic design and modern technology. Dubbed the ‘Bugatti 12.4 Atlantique’, the
streamline racer concept brings the best of both the worlds as it designed to
look as if it were a work of the 1930s but underpinned with technology from the
modern Bugatti Veyron. According to Alan, the Bugatti Veyron’s design lacks in
passion and the Bugatti 12.4 Atlantique is the right interpretation of what the
legendary marquee’s modern car should be like.
By judging
the design, the Bugatti 12.4 Atlantique looks like the car Captain Nemo would
have driven and garage it onboard his submarine, the Nautilus. The overall
design of the concept also closely resembles the Aero Coupe made by the British
motoring company, Morgan. It takes its inspiration from the 1935 Type 57SC
Atlantic coupe and has similar swooping body lines. But the exterior is also
quite generously peppered with modern touches like the LED headlights and the
beautiful tail-lamp cluster. On the inside, the materials used for cockpit are
top quality leather, mahogany, aluminium and carbon fiber making a fusion of
classic with modern design elements. The spider version has an amazingly
conceptualized hard-top retractable roof which transforms the car into a
track-ready beast. Watch the video of the spider concept after the jump, it is
fabulous!
