The Chiron is arguably the most spectacular car on
Earth. Its 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 produces 1,500 PS and
1,600 Nm of torque, which is certainly enough to put it in the
conversation for “greatest hypercar ever.”
While Bugatti has worked a lot on improving the
Chiron’s driving feel compared to the somewhat sterile Veyron, it has played it
safe with the styling, opting for a sleek update of, more or less, the same
theme. Which may or may not be everyone’s cup of Earl Grey, especially compared
to more daring rivals like the Koenigsegg Jesko, for instance.
Well, this rendering by Invisive looks to change all
that thanks to its “dramatic” exterior. According to the designer, the
idea behind the Type 103, as it is named, was to “take the classic Bugatti ‘C’
line and play with it and see what the result would be, tying in the rest of
the shapes after establishing the main lines and providing some drama to the
overall shape of the body with the help of interesting proportions and
structure while still making it identifiable with the French brand.”
Immediately we notice that this render has a more
aggressive appearance, with squinty headlights and a visibly larger front
grille. Move to the sides and you can see a new door design and a more of a
closed loop ‘C’ line. Which, for what it’s worth, we don’t think works that
well on the Chiron’s shape.
