Bugatti
Vision Gran Turismo Concept
Bugatti
is embarking on a new chapter in its corporate history which is to reach its
climax with the presentation of the next Bugatti super sports car. The first
stage in the process will be a virtual project developed by the luxury super
sports car brand in cooperation with Polyphony Digital Inc., creators of the
Gran Turismo video game franchise. For the first time, Bugatti will be
represented in the "Vision Gran Turismo" category. This will make the
extremely exclusive brand available to millions of car fans and Bugatti
enthusiasts throughout the world. In addition, the "Bugatti Vision Gran
Turismo" project will give an outlook of Bugatti's new form and design
language. This virtual project is to be presented at the 2015 International
Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt.
The
Veyron series, which was limited to 450 vehicles and is now sold out, has been
delivered to a small group of selected customers. This is in contrast with
millions of Gran Turismo fans, the PlayStation franchise having enjoyed over 70
million units sold since its inception in 1997.
For
Bugatti, cooperation with Polyphony Digital is the perfect opportunity to make
the brand accessible to a large number of people of all generations. Bugatti
has developed an exciting concept for 'Vision Gran Turismo', and naturally it
is a high-performance vehicle with a fascinating design. The level of attention
to detail shown in the technical implementation by Bugatti has really impressed
us.
"With
the 'Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo', we have not developed a fantasy product of
the type which is normally seen in this category of the game," explains
Achim Anscheidt, head of the Bugatti design team. "We had the clear goal
of developing a vehicle which could also be driven on a real race circuit if it
left the virtual world. 'Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo' stands for
authenticity."
With
the "Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo" virtual concept, Bugatti will be
presenting the new form and design language developed by the brand to celebrate
the next chapter in its history following the end of the Veyron era.
"Bugatti's
design DNA has reached a new stage in its evolution," Anscheidt announces.
"In view of the nature of the project, our concept car for 'Vision Gran
Turismo' will be exaggerated and extremely performance-oriented. Even so, the
progressive design language will give an impressive demonstration of the path
to be taken by Bugatti design over the next few years."
