Back in September, the Frankfurt Motor Show hosted the arrival of the Mercedes Vision Simplex, a retrofuturistic concept car that shows what can happen when automotive producers allow their designers to sketch outside the box, all with an EV twist. But what if Bugatti did something similar?
Well, to answer the question above, this kind of effort coming from Molsheim could lead to a contraption looking like the one in the rendering that brought us here.
Now, before moving on to discussing the details of this old-and-new Bugatti, you should know the artist behind is Vivien Kleczech, a designer who worked on the minimalist interior of the Vision Simplex (you can check out this non-production machine in the gallery above).
As it happens with other artists working for big names in the car industry, the Cannes-based pixel wilder like to play with the design DNA of other brands every now and then. And, in this case, Bugatti is not the only example, with Ferrari also being on the list.
Returning to the Bugatti sketch staring at us from behind the screen, it's not obvious where the driver would sit, even though we could expect the hatch sitting before the rear wheels to open and reveal a certain form of accommodation.
Regardless, it looks like Vivien sought inspiration in the Bugatti Type 35 when penning this contraption, since the iconic model is present in the sketch.
As for the EV part of the adventure, this might have something to do with the electron juice sipper the French carmaker is already building.
You know, the Bugatti Baby II, which is a three-quarter scale recreation of the Type 35 destined for children. Introduced back in September, this contraption was a massive hit. So while only 500 units of the more than just a toy are being brought to the world, the vehicle was already sold out when it made its debut.
