Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is the future, now [w/video]

As a gamer, the addition of the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo to the Gran Turismo 6 lineup is fun, but pretty forgettable. The be-winged Bug joins a roster of spectacularly fast virtual metal, for a title that – much as it pains me personally to say this – is more out of date than ever. But the fact that Bugatti built the concept in more than just pixels is the interesting part. That "completion of the Veyron chapter" business indicates that the Vision car might have some bearing on the company's future ultracar plans. From a design perspective, this concept is clearly over the top, though there are elements that would seem reasonable as extrapolated to a production car. The ovoid aperture that encircles each door seems thematically correct, relative to the Veyron, as, of course, does the now-more-pointed horseshoe grille. Bugatti has evoked a kind of Formula One nose with the rest of the fascia, but the aggressively wide and raked light pods may make their way to a future face. As for the Batmobile-meets-Le Mans rear end? Well, some things are better left for the video game. That said, the single-strip rear taillight would be an awfully cool nighttime signature for one of the world's most famous sports cars. Pick out the elements you'd like to see on a Bugatti production car, and tell us about them, in Comments.

Cristiano Ronaldo buys Bugatti Veyron to celebrate soccer title

Portugal won the Euro 2016 soccer championship, and its star player is celebrating with a new car: The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. He Instagrammed a shot of the new ride, which costs $1.9 million or more and is capable of 255 miles per hour. Ronaldo was injured in the Euro 2016 final and carried off the field, though his country defeated France 1-0. Ronaldo is a noted car guy, and his collection reportedly includes a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, and more. While the dark blue Bugatti isn't identified in Ronaldo's Instagram post, it appears to be the Vitesse model. It cranks out 1,200 horsepower from an 8.0-liter W16 engine and can hit 62 mph in 2.6 seconds. It's a baller car, for sure. But it's still not as good as this.

People on Elysium drive Bugattis

Product placement in movies is a big business, but is it always necessary? This is the question we asked ourselves when watching the movie trailer for Sony Picture's new film due out this fall called Elysium - a 22nd Century story about the privileged and elite who live in their own separate dwelling while Earth rots away. Toward the end of the trailer, a flying car flashes across the screen, and what familiar logo do we see on this car's rump? Yup, Bugatti.
Now, we're not saying that it's hard to imagine that in a future world - with a private inhabitance for the rich and cancer-curing machines - people would pilot flying Bugattis. It does seem like a questionable move on Bugatti's part, however, since it seems that the people of Elysium aren't exactly painted in a flattering light. We'll hold our official judgment about the movie and Bugatti's role in it, until we've watched the thing. Until then you can check out the official trailer below in which you'll also catch a glimpse of a post-apocalyptic Nissan GT-R (if you have especially sharp eyes).
