French designer dreams up futuristic Bugatti concept. For a world without speedbumps

Bugatti Stratos concept

The French are carving a smart niche in improbable modern supercars. Just look at the Bugatti Veyron - OK, so it's built by the Germans, but Bugatti is a French marque, so we're sticking with it - and the ridiculous Citroen GT (which, we hear, is going to enter very limited production).

Could be a while before we see this one get built, though. This is the Bugatti Stratos concept from French designer Bruno Delusso, and it's as production-unviable as, well... the Peugeot Metromorph concept we saw last week.

We still like it, though. Don't worry about inconsequential details like, say, how those wheels actually make contact with the ground, or what the hell it's powered by - we're guessing it distills the power of philosophical disillusionment into zero-emissions energy - and just admire the simple lunacy of the thing.

Just think of it as a cheeky weekend coupe from a parallel universe, a universe without multi-storey parking spaces or speedbumps or, er, other cars. Top Gear's perfect universe, in other words...

I think it looks like a Morgon but very Futuristic, a another thing that is different is that has huge vents on the sides. {8-)
