Description:
Vive La MARQUE (Long live the brand)
Bugatti has always been a brand whose models are based on a revolutionary concepts, automobile sport technologies and peculiar artistry. Where else, if not at the eldest endurance race Le Mans 24, Bugatti can show a combination of balance between elegance and superior performance. With an original style they are bringing their own traditions to this day.
External features of our project are aimed at preserving traditions, but in a more contemporary vision of the key lines of the front and side horseshoe. Main attention is devoted to the straight lines along the top, which are emblematic.
At the “Grand Prix of Endurance and Efficiency,” teams are forced to seek a balance between speed and reliability of the vehicles, use expendable materials efficiently, time for pit stops, etc.
As a basis for the project, we have chosen LMP1 category as the most prestigious class of prototypes with the ability to experiment with technologies and configuration. In this project we offer stability and the fastest passage of the turns, by increasing the adhesion, high torque at the end of turns due to the asynchronous motor wheels which have a sphere-shaped engine, so that the wheel can move in three dimensions. With the help of innovative airless “soft” tires with unique structure, the contact area is not reduced, and on the contrary the adhesion is increased during cornering and at the end of it and the magnetic connection of the hub and the motor allows replacement of the tire quickly at the pit stop.
