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a roster of spectacularly fast virtual metal, for a title that – much as it pains me personally to say this – is more out of date than ever.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.

Mansory Vivere is surprisingly subdued

As far as tuning companies go, Mansory isn't exactly known for its restraint. That's why this Bugatti Veyron-based Vivere is a little shocking to us. In terms of ostentatiousness, this thing is actually pretty tame, especially considering how over-the-top Bugatti itself can go with its legendary supercar.
For starters, the body is done up in a two-tone white-and-carbon-fiber look, which is actually sort of cool. Of course, we'd do without the added aero treatment, consisting of a "striking front apron," side skirts, larger air outlets and a new rear diffuser. Mansory again uses the word "striking" to describe the new, double-five-spoke wheels, but as far as exterior, um, enhancements go... that's it.
Inside, Mansory has added a healthy dose of LED lighting, the tuning company saying "the whole passenger compartment glows in the light" from these added lamps. The upholstery is done up in a black-and-white leather theme, sort of matching the exterior, and there's a new steering wheel that "looks sporty with great grip." Cool.

Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition is a scaled-down tribute to the Mistral

Bugatti unveiled a new variant of the Baby II, its smallest and most affordable model. Inspired by the 1,600-horsepower Mistral introduced in 2022, the Baby II Carbon Edition is a scaled-down replica of the Type 35 that's more advanced than its pocket-sized dimensions suggest. While the Baby II Carbon Edition blurs the line between a car and a toy, it's built on a carbon fiber architecture and features a long list of carbon fiber parts including the grille bezel and the dashboard. Bugatti removed the regular Baby II's side-mounted spare wheel to keep weight in check, and it gave the car a heritage-laced yellow and black livery reminiscent of the Mistral, though other liveries are available.  The four-spoke, quick-release steering wheel is mounted on the right side of the dashboard but calling the Baby II right-hand-drive wouldn't be accurate. The seat is too small for two full-size adults to sit on and the pedals (which are adjustable and machined from solid aluminum) are located on the left side of the footwell. The fuel pump handle fitted to the original Type 35 now lets the driver select drive, neutral, or reverse, and vintage-looking gauges add a finishing touch to the look. The fuel pressure gauge was notably redesigned as a battery gauge. Bugatti hasn't released technical details. For context, the regular Baby II is powered by an electric motor that unlocks a 42-mph top speed. Pricing for the Bugatti Baby II Carbon Edition starts at ˆ80,000 (about $84,600 at the current conversion rate) excluding taxes and shipping. That's a bargain for a Bugatti, even a tiny one, but there's a catch: Autoblog learned that only Mistral customers are eligible to order the Carbon Edition. Production will consequently be limited by how many Mistral buyers put down a deposit, so up to 99 units could be built.
