Bored of the ‘standard’ look of the Bugatti Veyron? Then take a look at this. Designed by John Mark Vicente, a Canadian design student, the Bugatti Renaissance looks just as stunning as the Veyron did when we first laid our eyes on it back in 2003. Whilst there are no plans for these sketches to be produced full size, it’s nice just to look at John’s work and day dream.
The images, produced in Softimage XSI and rendered in 3ds Max/Mental Ray, show what a direct successor to the Veyron could look like. Enjoy the images and let us know what you think by using the comments box below.

Might be already a bit of an overkill but I think its a great car! Somehow it should be produced even if its just one car…!
I would sell my girlfriend to buy it, anytime! I would sell my parents too if needed! DAMN! Best looking car I have ever seen, without a doubt!
Wow, this looks much better then the Veyron, TMHO. I can’t take my eyes out of it.
Awesome design, but with errors. But those fixed it still could look good. The error are functional. The metal around the fog-light has a seam on the outside but none on the inside, making the cut just purely aesthetic and actually making the body weaker.
The red outline around the front grille looks cool but is useless as it would cost more to produce, add weight and do nothing but “look” cool.. plus it’s more stuff to brake or come loose/apart.
On the front grille, there is a large empty space between the grille and the actual body (with the red line sitting in-between), there is no reason to have big open gaps in the design, it’s just a place for dust and other crap to get stuck. It’s not functional either. Every car manufacturer works on eliminating these.
If the car was to be produced, the door size would be increased, having a small door has no benefit at all.
I like the mutli-layer design but the front has to be designed so that the gap between side fenders and hood is functional, say as air-ducts to cool the brakes or engine.
The car has a 8.0 litre engine, giving it revs @ 6500 rpm the potential capacity of the engine is 13,700 gallons of air per minute (not mistake there). Now, the current Veyron achieves it w/ 4x Turbo Chargers, but one thing is certain, this concept model in order to be viable needs A LOT bigger air intakes. Also the current model has 10 radiators, 6 of them don’t come in almost any standard production car. It needs a lot of cooling, so more air intakes since engine is in rear.
Other than the mechanical mistakes i think the design is kick ass, and totally in line w/ what the next generation of Bugatti Veyron should look like.
Idea is that – any air the Veyron Concept displaces should actually be sucked in to make use of, in terms of cooling or feeding the turbo chargers.
ugliest car i ve ever seen
I disagree with you Terabass.

Sorry to say: you have absolutely no idea about design.
These are important for the look of the car, it makes the car more “cut up in different parts”. This makes the car look more exotic and rare. The shadows the gap makes gives the car more of that “multi-layer” thing you where talking about yourself.
These are important seen from a design point of view.
This is sick and original in so many different ways, from the layers to the use of colors and materials. Its mean look really takes away from the rounded look of the “bug”
It is a dream car
BMW Vision Concept meets Bugatti Veyron. I like the car, but the doors need to be bigger and I feel the rear should be lower. Keep it up John.
Greenhill – you are dead wrong.
There should be no flimsy crap that is adding weight to car. If there is extra “ashtetic” non-functional stuff adding weight, then why bother using Carbon Fibre on other parts to save grams of weight? Rather stupid right?
Fact is, Formula One is a beautiful machine and it has no design, just pure function, and so is the F22 fighter jet, it also has no design but form follows function… it’s all functional, but that’s what makes it look soo cool!!
That said you know zero about design. Don’t repeat that i don’t know what i’m talking about. Take a auto design class (a really good one) and have the professor just chew you out.
