Chrysler 200S and 300S Alloy Editions Front and Rear View Chrysler has just announced that it is going to debut special editions of the 200S and 300S models at the Chicago Auto Show. The uniquely styled cars are called Alloy Editions and they exude natural warmth and energy, and commanding brilliance through their unique bronze and titanium finishes. The special editions have been inspired by Detroit’s local artisans who continue to push design and ingenuity in new directions.What is more, both cars can be equipped with Chrysler’s innovative all-wheel-drive (AWD) system.

Based on the 2016 Chrysler 200S, this particular variant features blacked-out details that highlight the clean lines and expressive surfaces of the model. It is visible that the design of the 200S Alloy Edition is a blend of industrial inspired colors and materials.

Precisely, the grille and headlamps have Mobius strip-inspired design, which in turn have been “touched” with a dynamic grille texture contributing for a unique 3-D effect. All of this is amplified with Dark Bronze paint on the Mobius strip upper and lower grille surrounds.

We see Gloss Black accents almost everywhere. Together with the daylight opening (DLO) moldings, they play crucial role with the 19-inch Dark Bronze aluminum wheels. We can’t skip the Dark Bronze “200S” badge on the rear decklid, which shows the exclusivity of the Alloy Edition model. In addition, the Chrysler wing badge includes Titanium touches and the same design approach has been applied to the dual exhaust tips.

Optional Mopar Exterior Pack

More athletic styling can be achieved with the optional Mopar exterior package, which will be factory-installed. It includes aggressive front chin spoiler, taller side sills with rear side sill extensions and rear valance.

Interior

Stepping inside the 200S Alloy Edition, we see how the designers have transferred the general theme. Actually the car will be offered with a choice of a Black cloth with leather trim, or Black leather seating, each of which will have Caramel accent stitching on the seats, center arm rest and door trim panels.

The exclusivity of the model is highlighted via the Black and Caramel stitching “S” embroidered on the front sport-contoured seats. To add even more uniqueness, the Piano Black is contrasted with Titanium-finished accents on the door trim panels, center console, outboard air vents and Chrysler wing badge steering wheel.

Chrysler 300S has been used as a basis for the Alloy Edition, which features prominent grille finished in Dark Bronze and Gloss Black dimensional textured grille fitted with a Titanium-finished Chrysler wing badge. Gloss Black has been used for the headlamps and body color mirror caps. Adding t the exclusivity is the Mobius strip in Dark Bronze, which outlines the lower grille opening and surrounds the LED fog lamps.

The Gloss Black DLO moldings are paired with 20-inch Dark Bronze alloys. At the rear the stance of the car is made more powerful via the Titanium-plated Chrysler wing badge and Dark Bronze-finished “300S” badge, which also signifies the exclusivity of the model. In addition, a Titanium-plated exhaust tips contribute for the athletic appearance. Rounding out the contemporary look are LED tail lamps with a Gloss Black accent and a body color rear fascia accent trim.

Interior

The cabin of the Chrysler 300S Alloy Edition is no less exclusive. In fact it adds luxury with the unique design elements and authentic materials like the Black Nappa leather with Caramel accent stitching on the sport-contoured heated front seats, rear seats, instrument cluster bezel, steering wheel and armrests.

More accents are added with the Titanium paired with Piano Black on the interior center stack, instrument panel, steering wheel, gauge cluster and door panel. Rounding-out the interior is a new instrument panel clock with its dark-colored analog face and Piano Black bezel.

Tuned Suspension, HEMI V8 and Aero Styling

Those who always want more of their cars have the opportunity to opt for rear-wheel-drive handling capability, new performance-tuned suspension with increased spring rates, performance-tuned steering and bushings, larger sway bars and Goodyear Eagle F1 Three-season tires.

In terms of performance, they can change the standard 300-horsepower (220 kW) 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine mated to a TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission with Sport mode and paddle shifters, with the 363-horsepower (267 kW) 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with four-cylinder mode Fuel Saver Technology which also comes with uniquely sculpted side sills and deck lid spoiler.

An Advanced AWD

For customers who want the best of style and performance and even more all-weather traction, the new 2016 Chrysler 200S AWD Alloy Edition and 300S AWD Alloy Edition models include an advanced AWD system that delivers traction to all four wheels when necessary. The AWD can electronically adjust back to two-wheel drive for maximum fuel efficiency.

If one opts for the Chrysler 200S AWD Alloy Edition, then he or she will get an upgraded 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with 295 horsepower (217 kW) and 355 Nm (262 lb-ft) of torque.

The Force Awakens with Top 5 Star Wars Themed Cars

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is probably the most discussed topic now. And it should be since this movie has left an indisputable and strong mark in the consciousness of at least three generations. From grandparents to grandchildren, everyone is going to the movie theaters with expectations of a grandeur experience. We are also excited about this world-movie-happening and this is why we decided to make a Top 5 of the Most Attractive Star Wars Themed Cars. This is how we are joining the verge of excitement around the premiere of one of the most emblematic films ever created.

Number 5: Darth Vader’s Viper ACR and Stormtrooper’s Challenger and Charger

We put the trio on fifth position, because of the little difference they have in comparison to the original cars. These three were seen rolling on the streets of Los Angeles this weekend, and probably many of you living there had the chance of meeting them. The pair of First Order Stormtrooper-themed white 707-horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat traveled in the company of the intimidating Kylo Ren-inspired wrapped black Dodge Viper ACR.

Powered by 8.4-liter V10 engine, the beautiful black Dodge Viper ACR produces 645 horsepower (474 kW) and 813 Nm (600 lb-ft) of torque. It transmits all this power onto the road via the Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission. The car also shows-off with Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, 19-inch alloys and exclusive Kumho Ecsta V720 high-performance tires. Since Darth Vader drives this car, we are sure that he has chosen to add the Extreme Aero package, making sure that he will have the highest aerodynamic downforce of any production car.

Number 4: Blood Type Racing Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec

Blood Type Racing has revealed this Veloster Turbo R-Spec at the SEMA show in November this year. It seems that the Veloster has switched to the dark side just in time for the next Star Wars series. It definitely looks like a vehicle that the Sith Lord could drive. It is built with an abundant amount of carbon fiber and dressed in Carbon Black exterior paint scheme, highlighted with a red racing stripe running from the front splitter up onto the hood.

In addition, there is also a carbon fiber wide-body kit that is accompanied by front-mounted aero canards, front splitter and a rear deck spoiler. Red accents on the custom SSR three-piece wheels, along with red projector “demon eye” headlamps are making this car look really devilish. The force that awakes this car is the 1.6-liter “Gamma” four-cylinder engine, which achieves more than 500 horsepower due to ECU tuning!

Number 3: Fiat 500e Stormtrooper

On third position is Fiat’s Stormtrooper themed 500e, which has debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show this November and has caused great furor. Inspired by the First Order Legion, the exterior livery of this Fiat has unique two-tone black and white custom painting and wrapping, making it look like a helmet.

The interior of the car was decorated also in the contrasting combination of black and white. The seats got Alcantara treatment, while the dash was painted in white and enriched by the “Star Wars” logo. The First Order insignia can be also spotted on the two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel. By the way, this 500e should be attributed to the work of the specialists at Garage Italia Customs.

Number 2: Vilner BMW Stormtrooper

Vilner’s unique BMW M6- based project, called Stormtrooper, has been revealed one year ahead of the premiere of the new Star Wars episode. With its sparkling white color and power hidden in its forms, the car is reminiscent of the Imperial Army troops of Darth Vader. This car is one-of-a-kind, features exclusive detailing and powerful presence.

Almost everything in this cabriolet has been changed, starting from the front and rear bonnets, bumpers, rear fenders, and almost all components inside. Running on 20-inch black wheels, this cabrio carries and antique Nappa leather and brown Alcantara interior and a lot of exclusive detailing on the outside. For instance, take a look at the decorative elements of the exterior. The details about this amazing project are featured in the link below. It seems that this car had to be on first position, isn’t it?

Number 1: Hot Wheels Darth Vader Car

The first place is reserved for the Ultimate Darth Vader car! It just couldn’t be the other way around! We have shown you a video yesterday of Jay Leno’s experience with it, but if you haven’t watched it yet, you can do this in the link below.

Mattel Hot Wheels Darth Vader Car is a result of the collaboration between the two franchises, which has been also released in a 1:64 toy variant. This real-size car is powered by an LS3 V8 engine, which generates 526 horsepower (387 kW) and rides on custom red line tires. It also produces heavy breathing sounds associated with the Sith Lord. The powerful engine drives the rear wheels and also has a backlit, side-exit exhaust system. Furthermore, the “nose” of this unique car is made of carbon fiber, and its design is made in that way so it resembles Darth Vader’s mask. The wheels have been specifically designed for this car as are the unique triple headlights and the split windshield. And this is definitely a car worth of first position, because of all the work put on it.

So this was our choice for the ultimate Top 5 Star Wars Themed cars. And after it we are even more excited about the premiere of “The Force Awakens” on December 18th. How about you? If you like our Top 5 please show your support by sharing it with your friends and on social media.

The Force Awakens: Dodge Joins the Dark Side [VIDEO]

If Darth Vader lived in today’s world and had to choose a vehicle, I bet he’d go for a Dodge Viper ACR. And since the premiere of the latest Start Wars Series, called “The Force Awakens” is intimidatingly near, December18th, then there is nothing better to talk about the strange combination of the ‘Dark Side’ and… Dodge cars. The company has just released a cool TV ad to promote the future blockbuster.

Of course, you will hear the Imperial March, but what you will see is unexpectedly exciting. The video actually displays an army of muscle cars, compacts, crossovers and SUVs with massive doses of attitude!

Each and every one of them is built for top performance, from power off the line to handling in the corners! Just like any Stormtrooper should be powerful, technologically advanced, capable and efficient, these Dodge vehicles, the Charger, Challenger, and Durango, express the same qualities!

By the way, the ad is called “The Force Gathers” and the most exciting part of it is the ‘leading role’ of the black Dodge Viper ACR. The car was released this year and has shown some impressive details, about which you can read in the link above. But some fast facts, might remind you how cool this car is and why Darth Vader has chosen it.

First, it is powerful beyond measure, because of its 8.4-liter V10 engine, which produces 645 horsepower (474 kW) and 813 Nm (600 lb-ft) of torque. It transmits all this power onto the road via the Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission.

The car also shows-off with Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, 19-inch alloys and exclusive Kumho Ecsta V720 high-performance rubbers. We don’t doubt that Vader has chosen to add the Extreme Aero package to his Viper ACR, making sure that he will have the highest aerodynamic downforce of any production car! And just in case you ask about it, well the Extreme Aero package can offer up to three times the downforce of the Viper TA or Time Attack 2.0 package.

Enjoy the video!

Honda Civic Type R Racing These two videos are dedicated to all Honda fans around the world. It isn’t a secret that I am a crazy fan of Honda Type R, and when I saw (and “participated”) in this video I was so excited that wanted to immediately share it with you. If you have ever wanted to experience the feeling of riding alongside Honda World Touring Car stars Tiago Monteiro and Gabriele Tarquini, then I have good news: you can now do it.

How is this possible? Via a breakthrough filming technique, which captures the action in 360 degrees. Therefore you can ride alongside Gabriele in his Civic Type R, and Tiago in his Castrol Honda Civic Touring Car, as they power around the Italy’s Circuito Tazio Nuvolari. The only disadvantage is that this happens only virtually.

In this ‘video’, Tarquini was accompanied by Gordon Shedden, Matt Neal, and Jack Clarke. They make a quartet of gleaming Type Rs attempt to hold off a rampaging Monteiro and 2015 LCR Honda MotoGP star Jack Miller on his Honda RC213V.

Wonder who will claim bragging rights in this strange two- and four-wheel racing competition? You have to find out by watching the video below. I promise you that you will witness a hot-lap like no other, shot as part of an event that displayed the technical relationship between Honda and Castrol, as well as the race-bred Honda Civic Type R .

Porsche Announces “Green Light” for the Electric Mission E

Porsche Mission E at a Charging Station Porsche Mission E is a concept car not far away from its first production variant. The EV was unveiled in September and it amazed the general public with its 600 hp of total output, 500 km range on a single charge, and 15 minutes for an 80 percent charging of the battery. Nice, isn’t it?

So, the question that was running in our minds is whether this is Tesla Model S biggest rival. Well, we have to wait a little bit and ironically we must admit that if this EV enters production and is offered at a pricing similar to this of Model S, then probably Tesla would lose most of its potential clients. However, Porsche would still have to build a huge network of charging stations in order to succeed in this endeavor.

Dr. Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board, said that the vehicle is due to be launched at the end of the decade. And here are the details: Porsche is going to invest around a billion euros, thus continuing to back sustainable growth. Precisely, in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen more than 1,000 new jobs are going to be opened.

Porsche Mission E Front View

Around 700 million euros will be invested in the main site there, including an expansion of the factory for the production of electric motors. In addition, the existing body shop is being enlarged and a Weissach development centre is to be built.

Porsche Mission E concept car debuted at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA). The four-door car with four individual seats can put onto the road over 600 hp (440 kW). And it can also do the following: it can achieve acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds and a range of more than 500 kilometres.

The electric car is charged via an 800-volt charger unit, which has been specifically developed for it. It is so powerful that it achieves charging at 80 percent after just 15 minutes. What is more, the vehicle can optionally be ‘refueled’ wirelessly via a coil set into the garage floor.

Porsche is definitely making a clear statement for the future (not only of the brand but of the automotive scenery in general) with the release of the Mission E. The world is greatly changing and therefore “smart” brands maintain to adjust with it. I don’t know about you but I’m definitely excited!

Mercedes-AMG Celebrates F1 with A45 4MATIC Champions Edition

Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC Champions Edition is a very special vehicle, which celebrates the victory in the constructors’ world championship as well as the drivers’ championship included in the motorsport’s champion’s league this year. It actually marks the end of the season and this is why it blends the expressive Formula 1 look of the victorious Silver Arrows with extensive and abundant equipment.

It was actually very strange for me to grasp how Mercedes-AMG could do something like that. Precisely, I mean that it was the least model that I have expected to get a Champions Edition. However, it looks very cool and has (fortunately) nothing to do with the A-Class models from the early 2000.

The new version of the A-Class is probably the most compact performance athlete in the world. With its maximum output of 381 hp (280 kW) and its standard AMG Performance all-wheel drive and the front axle differential lock, the special edition is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds.

PETRONAS Inspired Exterior

Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC Champions Edition Exterior from the Rear

So, as you can see, this A45 4MATIC runs on very large wheels, sized 19‑inch, painted in titanium grey and accentuated with a petrol green rim. The exterior of the car also features the one-off foiling of the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS 2015 World Champion Edition. This means that every owner will literally take a part of the Formula 1 success from the race track to the road.

In details, the foiling includes the iconic petrol green and black highlights of the design of the winning F1 W06 HYBRID super model. In addition, the Champions Edition also received a streamlining package. At the front it includes a larger splitter and special flics, while the rear was enhanced with an extra roof spoiler. There are three paintworks available for this edition and they include mountain grey metallic, designo mountain grey magno and polar silver metallic.

Other equipment features include Night package, the AMG Performance seats, the AMG Exclusive package and the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package.

Interior Inspired by Motorsport

Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC Champions Edition Interior

The cabin is too inspired by motorsport. Some of the very cool features here are the quality badge on the lid of the stowage compartment with the official lettering of the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, the electronically adjustable Performance sports seats in leather/DINAMICA microfibre and contrasted with fine petrol green topstitching on the armrests and dashboard, the petrol green rings in the air vents plus the seat belts, and the petrol green highlight strips.

Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC Champions Edition will make a global debut at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in Yas Marina on 26 November. It will be available from January till May with a starting price of 65,402.40 euros. And I find it entirely worth this amount.

2016 Honda Civic Coupe and Clarity Fuel Cell Vehicle to Debut in L.A.

Clarity Fuel Cell front view 2016 Honda Civic Coupe, or the tenth generation ecstatic Civic, and the Clarity Fuel Cell are going to make their North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto show next week. Both vehicles offer a new expression of valuable qualities such as ‘Clean, Safe and Fun’, and they are going to put a strong emphasis on them during the show.

10^th Gen Civic Coupe

The Coupe is built over the same sports platform of the Civic, and its appearance at the event reminds customers that it is currently going on sale (starting today). By the way, you can already find it in dealerships. 2016 Civic Coupe delivers a glimpse of the future design language of the brand with its athletic lines, high-tech interior, and powerful as well as engaging powertrains. There are two new engines, including the first-ever turbocharged for the U.S. Civic.

Sporty performance is inevitable and so is the refined ride. But do not worry about the fuel efficiency, because Honda promises that it will be even lower than expected.

The Civic Coupe is the second of the 10^th generation Civic models, including a sedan and Si models, a 5-door hatchback and the first-ever Civic Type-R. This fact makes the Civic lineup the most diverse and innovative one in model’s history.

Clarity Fuel Cell

Clarity Fuel Cell Interior

Following a world debut at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show in October, Clarity Fuel Cell is a five-passenger sedan with great performance, range and efficiency. In fact, it is ‘world’s first production fuel cell sedan to house the entire fuel cell stack and drivetrain system in the front engine compartment’.

Why this vehicle is so important, especially in the U.S. The reason is that it houses original technologies, which lowers the carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere, since it hardly releases any. And how about the driving rage? It is more than enough, measuring 300 miles. Oh, have I told you that the refueling time is approximately three minutes?

Honda Clarity Fuel Cell will launch in the United States in 2016, but first it will be introduced in Japan in March. If you are interested in what you have read, then visit Honda’s booth, located in the West Hall at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The show starts November 18.

CivicX Imagines 2017 Honda Civic Type R Hatchback Prototype

2017 Honda Civic Type R Hatchback Prototype was revealed in the famous Civic CivicX.com forum. The pictures have been created by the digital artist Damian, who has been inspired after seeing the recently released spy shots of the car. What Damian has done is to peel off the camouflage wrapping of the next Type R. The result is spectacular and we couldn’t help but publish it straight away.As CivicX says, the spy photos were ‘deciphered’ and they depict Type R’s lines and styling elements as they are going to be in production form. In fact, the result is said to be extremely close to what the production car is going to look like.

Very intriguing seems to be the new front fenders, which let us think that they could be used to draw hot air from the engine. Or should they provide extra cooling for the rubbers? Spy shots of the car also suggest that it has 3-outlet exhaust. So, are we going to expect more loudly sound coming from it? Well, we should have to wait until the production release and then to press the +R button to get the real impression.And how about the output? Of course, everything has been kept in secret but we definitely expect to see more horsepower in comparison to Type R’s current one. Speaking of which, it comes out from a 4-cyllinder 2.0 litre VTEC TURBO engine, producing 310 hp (228 kW) at 6,500 rpm and torque of 400 Nm (303 lb-ft) at 2,500 rpm. The 0-to-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration sprint is covered in just 5.7 seconds and the top speed is of 270 km/h (167 mph).2017 Honda Civic Type R hatchback is going to be based on the tenth generation Honda’s global platform. Its production is going to start at company’s UK plant in 2017.

Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Vehicle Revealed at 44th Tokyo Motor Show

Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Vehicle has been just unveiled at the 44th Tokyo Motor Show. Since Honda is the pioneer of hydrogen fuel cell technology, it was about time to make a step forward regarding this ‘eco’-matter. The next generation car previews best-in-class range comparable to fossil fuel-powered vehicles. The good news is that even though the model has just made its Japanese debut, it will be also distributed in selected European markets next year.

In short, the car incorporates company’s latest and most advanced technologies. As a matter of fact, this is world’s first production fuel cell powered sedan that houses entire fuel cell stack and drivetrain system instead of normal engine and transmission.

Furthermore, the Clarity Fuel Cell also has space for five persons, meaning that the size of the fuel cell stack and the power generation unit have been minimized via advanced technologies to the V6 engine’s size. The output of the car is also comparable to a V6 one, and it measures 177 hp (130 kW).

The high-pressure tank inside of the car stores hydrogen gas at 70 MPa. This in turn increases the mass of the hydrogen that can be stored and extending the range of the vehicle. When you have in mind that it is coupled with the efficient powertrain and vehicle’s energy consumption is reduced that you can also make the conclusion that the Clarity Fuel Cell achieves rather excellent vehicle range per full tank of over 700 km (435miles). And the best part is that it only takes three minutes to fill the tank.

Design of Clarity Fuel Cell

Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Vehicle Interior

Next to the 177 hp, this car also has stunning appearance. Clarity Fuel Cell’s exterior has strong aerodynamic profile, full-LED headlights up front and sharp, slender profile highlighted by the 18-inch alloys.

Inside, the hydrogen sedan combines its advanced atmosphere with refined atmosphere. The driver for instance enjoys advanced interface, which utilizes Honda’s design principles of instant recognition and intuitive control. As mentioned, the interior is simple and spacious, and includes premium materials that will make sure that the occupant’s experience is at its best.

Honda Clarity Fuel Cell is going to be launched in limited number in European markets next year. The hydrogen car is scheduled to be commercially available in Japan from early 2016.

Fuel cell technical specifications:

Length (mm)	4,895
Width (mm)	1,875
Height (mm)	1,475
Occupants	5
Range per full tank (km)	Over 7001
Refuelling time	Approx. 3 minutes
Maximum fuel cell output (kW)	Over 100
Fuel stack output density (kW/L)	3.1
Maximum motor output (kW)	130
Maximum hydrogen tank pressure (MPa)	70
Energy storage method	Lithium-ion battery

Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo Concept is Dedicated to the Fans. Takes the Stage in Frankfurt [VIDEO]

Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo Front View Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo Concept is something you have already seen. But what you haven’t witnessed is its birth at the Frankfurt Motor Show, where it takes the stage to make an official premiere. The virtual concept has been designed exclusively for PlayStation and in particular for the video game Gran Turismo. However, Bugatti says that the car is dedicated to the fans. Why? Because thanks to the game, the supersports car can be accessed by millions of fans throughout the world. And this is company’s way to say ‘Thank you!’

Exterior Shows the New Bugatti Design DNA

The design of the car celebrates Bugatti’s racing tradition of the 1920s and 1930s, in particular its victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It features innovative motorsport technology and is destined to mark a new chapter in the company’s history. The reason for this is that the virtual project gives actually a glimpse of the brand’s future design language.

As a matter of fact, the designers and engineers worked together and in close collaboration to develop the virtual race car. There are two key points important for both teams: they had to create a virtual vehicle that has the distinctive Bugatti appearance, and second, every component of it should have a real performance function.

Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo Front and Side View

The design is very real; and although the car is only a virtual project, it leaves the feeling that it will be a real production vehicle. By the way the project is based on development team’s latest simulation models of driving dynamics and aerodynamics. And if it was real it could drive at over 400 kph (250 mph) on four sections of the virtual Le Mans track. Well, the W16 engine that powers the car also helps for this purpose.

The exterior of this Bugatti is pretty impressive. It has the typical for the brand large convex surfaces, which are ‘contrasted’ with concave transitions and strong lines. The cockpit lies as low as possible and combined with the V-shaped front end and short rear overhang; they all indicate powerful forward thrust.

The design is so typically Bugatti: the famous Bugatti line for example is featured on the side profile of the Vision Gran Turismo. A signature two-tone finish also plays very important role ad makes a strong statement about the origin of this car.

The Bugatti symbol on the front grille and the eight-eye headlights at its sides also make a strong impact regarding the specifics of Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo’s design. As a matter of fact, the lights have aerodynamic function, because they act as air intakes to cool the brakes.

Furthermore, the centre fin is derived from the legendary 1936 Type 57 Atlantic. The rear in general looks spectacular. It features strong trailing edge that provides excellent driving stability, and exhausts the hot air from the engine compartment.

Functional Interior

Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo Interior

The same design philosophy applied on the exterior has been implemented inside. The interior features clean lines, two-tone finish and is dressed in luxurious materials such as carbon fiber and finest leather for the upholstery. In fact, the striking centre fin of the roof is echoed in the interior. Here it divides the cockpit from the rest of the interior and merges with the central console below.

There are two convex displays that show important information. The first one is positioned on the steering wheel and shows all the relevant vehicle information. The second is located on the steering column and displays the images gathered from the three cameras mounted on the outside of the vehicle.

And if you happen to be at the Frankfurt Motor Show, join Bugatti at its stand, where the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo show car will be on display. The time to do that is between 17^th and 27^th of September.
