That Bonkers Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo Project Hints At The Veyron Successor's Styling

When Bugatti revealed its Gran Turismo project recently, we felt a little let down. It’s basically a Veyron with some ridiculously lairy wings and scoops attached. What’s cool about this particular ‘virtual’ concept though, is that Bugatti has gone and built a one off real life example, and it’s on display at the Frankfurt motor show.

Away from the digital realm, the GT concept’s styling looks even more offensive, but it actually seems to make it more palatable. The phrase ‘so ugly it’s beautiful’ has never felt more apt. I’m still not convinced, despite you lot strongly disagreeing with my assessment of its appearance, but it’s starting to grow on me.

So why are we bringing this up again? Well aside from a slew of new images of the Vision GT IRL, Bugatti has revealed that this car shows off some of the design language that we’ll see on the Chiron (if that is the Veyron successor’s name).

“This project showcases Bugatti’s new design language, which we have developed to celebrate this new chapter in our company history…We’re building the world’s fastest, most exclusive, most luxurious and most powerful production super sports car.”

Wolfgang Dürheimer, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S

What does that mean, exactly? Well, the new car will definitely keep that signature horseshoe-shaped grille, while the narrow headlights are also likely to make an appearance. Further back, the way the door and roofline blend into the wide rear scoops would be a fascinating addition to the new car.

Anyway, enough speculation, here’s a tonne of photos. What parts of this car would you like to see on the Chiron?
