[sparkytooth]

I want to see all of it.

Hmmm..For some reason, when I clicked my "Alert" to this thread it brought me to the post right above mine when the person said "Really hyped for this one...Bugatti LM Race Car incominggg". I didn't realize that there were newer posts that I've not seen.

Now that I've seen the winglets and tow hook, I agree that it's definitely starting to look like a race car.

I would like to see a road car from Bugatti too...(maybe two versions...lol)

Yeah.. I mean, we've got the Veyron which is a heavy pig, but powerful as heck. A nice compliment to that would be a track-focused sports car. Powerful, but lightweight. Even if it's just lightweight compared to the Veyron (meaning it still weighed 1300-1400 kg) that would be totally cool with me. Lamborghini's aren't exactly featherweight's these days, ya know? But they're still considered supercars. THAT is the type of car I was hoping from, from Bugatti. But, it looks like a full-blown racer is coming. Oh boy...another car for my Stockyard.

Is the part on the far right an air inlet or are the headlights recessed so far bach into the body?

 

[GTPorsche]

Air inlet.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I am really looking forward to seeing this. The front teaser reminds me of the Pagani Zonda R.

Any Bugatti coming to GT is fantastic for me but a new generation racing car is a dream come through. I desperately want to see the entire thing but I am enjoying the teasers as we all have our own image of what it may be like.

Next teaser? Perhaps the rear diffuser?

 

[Robbks]

Course maker will be here by the time we see all of it....

Okay. But lets go on topic for a moment. There are other threads for that.

Or maybe we'll get the Chiron too.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

Was hoping that they make the horseshoe grill more subtle (like the EB110), but it looks like it the car will look like a droopy bulldog again Oh well, hopefully the rear end and performance makes up for it.

WTF???

 

[FoRiZon]

See guys, i told you. Bugatti next month. Hyundai come first and closer

Or at the same time? Because... you know, that's only a teaser.

 

[Il_Conte_Sky]

A GT and a kinda-LMP togheter! Sweet!

(Yes I like racecars )

 

[Jackgtr16]

From the pictures we have seen Im guessing it'll be a LMP style car.

 

[RACECAR]

Indeed, the general consenus is that. Here's a rotated version of the picture which I edited myself;

It's a side profile alright, especially after you rotate the picture like that...

Looking at the wing, I'm instantly reminded of this:

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Looking at the wing, I'm instantly reminded of this:

It wouldn't be entirely out of place for that to be the Bugatti's case, mind you, it does have that whiff of LMP to it. A rear wing that is directly connected to the rear quarter panel... Suits the "racecar which would fit a real racetrack", that's for sure.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

I'm thinking something in the lines of the GTbyCitroën Racecar.

 

[Nessy]

I think the front may end up resembling this a tiny bit, (could be completely wrong of course).

Wiesmann Spyder concept 2011:

 

[GetShrekt]

Looking at the wing, I'm instantly reminded of this:

I don't see the resemblance

 

[RACECAR]

I don't see the resemblance

The way the endplates flex are where I see the similarities. Granted the directions they do so are different, but the approach seems similar to me.

Ok that makes more sense

You know what I'm expecting? I hope the Bugatti have a proper name. Believe it or not all VGTs released so far have been named "Manufacturer Vision GT" or some combination of uninspiring letters and numbers. The only exception is the Tomahawk, which makes it all that more badass in my opinion.

In order of release:
Mercedes AMG VGT
BMW VGT
Mitsubishi XR-PHEV Evolution
VW GTI Roadster/Supersport (I count this as labels, not proper names)
Nissan Concept 2020 VGT
Aston DP-100
Toyota FT-1 VGT
Subaru VIZIV VGT (technically a name, but it's lifted from an existing concept car)
Chaparral 2X
Infiniti VGT
Mazda LM55
Mini Clubman VGT (again, technically a name, but it's based on an existing car)
Alpine VGT
Lexus LF-LC VGT
Peugeot VGT
SRT Tomahawk (finally )
Hyundai N2025 (back again )

It's like the design team spent all their creative juice on the car and powertrain then when it comes to the name they just give up Hope Bugatti and the remaining manufacturers can break that trend 👍

They've had decent names already, I hope that bugatti has an interior view.

 

[FoRiZon]

@LeGeNd-1 Two of them are puns of existing cars: Mercedes AMG (V) GT and Volswagen Vision GT (I).

Several actually have "normal" names: Aston DP-100 (Actually a sequel to the Protoype Aston DP-K9), Chapparal 2X, and Mazda Lm55.

 

[Famine]

some combination of uninspiring letters and numbers

Hmm, let's look at that one:

Mitsubishi XR-PHEV Evolution

Mitsubishi's range of plug-ins is called "PHEV" - Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle.

Aston Martin DP-100

AML's range of prototype sports cars in the 1960s were all called "DP".

Chaparral 2X

Literally all Chaparrals had a name which was 2 and a letter. The 2G and 2J are in the game already...

Mazda LM55

LM = Le Mans. 55 = the number carried by the Le Mans winning Mazda 787B.

Yes I'm aware of the meaning of those letters and numbers, but it's still less inspiring than a proper name. Just IMO of course. I'm not gonna like any of these cars less just because they don't have a word name.

 

[Famine]

Yes I'm aware of the importance of some of those letters and numbers, but it's still less inspiring than a proper name.

It's hardly "uninspiring" to name a car after your range of 1960s sports cars or your Le Mans-winning racer.
