Auto Car | 2008 Bugatti Type 12-2 Streamliner Concept Design by Racer X Design | A few months ago Racer X Design released the sketches of the KC-427, which is currently being built and expected to be shown as a fully built car by the end of the year. The streamliner is not intended for production, and is just one of the many designs that Racer X Design have come up with.
Designed as an example of a luxurious four seater GT, the type 12-2 is the artwork of Reuben Zammit. The aim was to get the type 12-2 immediately recognizable, yet make a signature of it’s own for a specific marquee. A classic front engine rear wheel drive layout. The shape allows for a boot bigger than its rivals, yet keeping the lines flowing. The doors take a large part of the side and the roof for easier access.
The idea is to use a VW derived W12 engine with a twin turbo layout hence the name 12-2. Although not as extravagant as the W16 used in the Veyron, there would be enough power to propel the Type 12-2 to over 200 mph.
Racer X Design is a company that has designed and built some of the best show cars in the business winning first place awards in the XLR-8 live competition every time it competed with 4 different demo cars in 2 different classes for bodystyling.
“We are now offering various design services ranging from show car design to full concept car design to any individual whether he needs to modify a car for competition use, or companies looking for a design that can meet their needs.â€End of Bugatti Type 12-2 Streamliner Concept Design by Racer X Design review.
Maltese designer Reuben Zammit designed the Streamliner as a 2+2 with "ample luggage space." Though we're sure if Bugatti ever created such a car it would be decidedly more expensive than the Ferrari 612, cues from Maranello's uber-GT can be seen in the Streamliner. But the nothing-but-curves approach gives it a Bugatti retro flair all its own. The car would use a twin-turbocharged version of the W12 engine and be powered by the rear wheels only. That would give the Streamliner rather un-Bugatti-like handling, which we think is even more reason to buy one. Check out additional renderings of the Streamliner 12-2 in the hi-res gallery below and let the designer know if you like his work in the comments.
The car is designed to be a four-seater GT although this is strictly a design study and there are no plans for production. The designer, Reuben Zammit, has certainly created something a bit shocking, although it seems a little derivative of other modern supercars rather than anything really groundbreaking. In terms of the engine, a VW-sourced W12 engine would be used with just two turbochargers (thus the 12-2 moniker).While the design study will remain pure fantasy, there’s no harm in imagining what could be if car designers really had their way. For other Veyron design studies check out our previous story on the Bugatti Wimille, a four-door sedan Veyron that should make getting to the shops a little more fun.
