The Bugatti Type 57 concept is a creation of Edwin
Conan, the same designer who produced the Audi
Avatar concept. However unlike the extremely futuristic
Avatar, the Type 57 Evoluzione is a distinctly retro-inspired
concept which is heavily influenced by the original Bugatti
Type 57 from the 1930s.
The classical shape with a long, stretched bonnet and
gently curving cabin evokes a sense of fluidity and movement.
It doesn't look particularly sporty or dynamic. It does
however look extremely luxurious, expensive and exclusive.
Conan has also reintroduced the split line which bisects
the car neatly down the middle. This design cue was one
of the trademark styling elements of the Type 57 Atlantic.
The enclosed wheel arches are another prominent design
feature of the concept.
The proposed drivetrain for the Bugatti Type 57 Evoluzione
is a front-mid mounted W16 engine derived from the Veyron's.
However in the Type 57 Evoluzione the engine would be
modified to run on hydrogen.
