Construido en exclusiva para la Frankfurt IAA y los fans de la marca.
Es el primer auto de carreras que Bugatti ha diseñado desde el EB110. Pero cabe notar que sólo es auto concepto. El Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo sólo estará disponible de manera virtual para todos los fans del automovilismo dentro del juego Gran Turismo para PS4.
Florian Umbach, head of chassis development at Bugatti, had a lot of fun with the project. "For Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo, we've geared every parameter to maximum performance, unlike with our production car, where it goes without saying that comfort and easy handling are also key factors." The systems that are responsible for luxury and comfort in the street-legal Bugatti super sports car have been dispensed with for the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo. That makes the vehicle more lightweight and creates space for the new, high-performance aerodynamics and a new radiator layout that we specifically designed for the virtual race track.
Nevertheless, the car's technical features, like its design, are realistic, since the virtual project is based on the Bugatti development team's latest simulation models of driving dynamics and aerodynamics. The engineers and the designers worked together meticulously on the project for six months. Also, racing experts from the Volkswagen Group were involved to ensure that every detail of the virtual race car is authentic.
"For Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo, my colleagues and I for once were free from the statutory requirements that as vehicle developers we naturally need to comply with in everyday life," continues Umbach. "It was an exciting project without any limits or compromises. We were only bound by the safety regulations of the FIA."
The engineers have calculated that the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo can drive at over 400 kph (250 mph) on four sections of the virtual Le Mans track. "With our extreme speed on the long straights, we could make up for any disadvantages on the bends, and would then be as quick in the virtual world as the fastest real-life LMP1 race car, which, unlike us in the video game, naturally needs to comply with all FIA and ACO regulations," explains Umbach.

To attain that performance goal, the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo too is driven by a W16 engine, which delivers incredible power to all four wheels.
"While the Bugatti Veyron is a super sports car that's a combination of the beauty and the beast, the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is the ultimate performance beast," says Anscheidt. "With its radical and extreme design, it's a thoroughbred Bugatti for the virtual race track."
