Bugatti
Aerolithe
The
Bugatti Aerolithe concept is the work of Douglas Hogg, a 2010 graduate of
Coventry University's Transport design course. The name recalls a Bugatti
prototype from 1935. The concept is a proposal for an glamorous sports coupe
with dramatic swooping lines.
Created
for the year 2025, the Aerolithe is named after a prototype vehicle Bugatti
unveiled at the 1935 Paris Motor Show. That car, the Bugatti Electron
Aerolithe, was the vehicle which spawned legendary Bugatti Atlantic models.
The
styling of Hogg's vehicle, as you might expect, takes much of its inspiration
from the original car. Although to say the Aerolithe looks traditional or
classic in its appearance would be a lie. It looks stunning and contemporary -
with a genuine sense of originality.
The
dramatic doors of the concept open upwards and forward to create an expansive
opening. The doors actually take part of the dashboard with them as they are
opened providing a truly unique experience for the driver and passenger.
The
proposed drivetrain for the Aerolithe concept is an advanced gas
turbine-electric hybrid system. The electric motor - which drives the rear
wheels - offers up 450 horsepower.
