From YourSITE.com Concorso Italiano
There is a point in time, when all of us remember falling deeply in love with cars, motorcycles. For that singular encounter, we were lucky to be in the right place at the right time, to have an uncounter first hand with a defining aspect of the automotive art form. What ever the event or moment in your life, the presence of Bugatti at Concorso Italiano, will be someday remembered by your son or daughter, as the seed of that passion for the motorsports lifestyle. This years Concorso Italiano ensured that many people of all ages had a first hand experience that they will never forget. This is often the case with every Concorso Italiano. But this years combination of the Bugatti "name" , Ford's GT-40, the "Torpedo" a honest Ferrari powered Hot Rod. The Bugatti truly redifined the standard grand touring supercars. Bugatti has shown us the future.
Bugatti's "name" sent real shockwaves through the crowds all day long. Everyone who came stood in awe, there was a never ending discussion of style that gave the car it's shear beauty. The car comes with one of the most impressive engine packages in memory and makes the McLaren M1 seem orphaned and totally unnoticed by the crowd. An idea that only a couple of years ago would have been unthinkable to the upper levels of the eliete automotive press.
Having had a great deal of firsthand experience with the last Bugatti company and the EB110 and EB110SS. The rebirth of the modern Bugatti passion has given the car back both a style and motor that is much more in keeping with Ettore Bugatti's personal flare for the combination of technology and aestheic original design. The "name" engine produces twice the hosepower of the EB110 with quad turbos!!
The Prototype that we see at Concorso Italiano delivers a vision of luxury performance that seems effortless in a world of automotive products that look and feel hard and forced to replicate every brand of legendary automotive importance. Bugatti has delivered it's unique statement without regard of pretenders.
The greatest accomplishment of the Bugatti company is that this car will be in production very soon. Mr.Artioli struggled to get any EB110's delivered to customers and even then the car was not a serious success with even it's targeted clients. It is clear with the industrial might of the VW group behind Bugatti, it will lack the money problems that dogged Mr.Artioli in his up hill battle to make his vision of a reborn Bugatti a reality. But now, the new vision of Bugatti presented here at Concorso Italiano only the future is important.
