As we all knew, that recently Bugatti merged with the Croatian EV company Rimac Automobili in late 2021 for Bugatti Rimac, so might be this their first jointly developed car project. As quoted of CNN, Mate Rimac, CEO of Bugatti-Rimac, the company that now owns the Bugatti
brand, said the company's future models will be powered by a hybrid
drivetrain. Unfortunately, he is not explained as what sort of gas
engine is part of the hybrid drivetrain system of Bugatti's future models.
The Bugatti Mistral speedster's design inspired by by the classic 1934 Bugatti Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid. (Picture from: TopGear)
Since the beginning, this speedster has a lot of mysteries such the four horizontally dashed headlights and surrounding lines deviate significantly from the Chiron, while vaguely resembling more of the Divo. And now Bugatti doesn't go into detail either and what the expected top speed of the Mistral might be. The last time the Molsheim-based premium car maker could claimed to have the world's fastest convertible was in 2013 when the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse managed to hit a top speed of 254 miles per hour while speeding on the Volkswagen's test track in Germany.

It is likely that Bugatti hopes its Mistral speedster will become the world's fastest convertible. By consideration, that the latest Mistral speedster is powered by the Bugatti's famous 16-cylinder W16 engine. It's the same engine that belongs to the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport which the French company claimed back in 2019 to be capable of running up to a top speed of 305 mph. For your info, the current top speed record for convertibles is claimed in 2016 by the Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster with a speed of 265.6 miles an hour.
The Bugatti Mistral has a unique X-shaped taillights which also functions to remove air after going through oil coolers. (Picture from: TopGear)
Besides that, the Mistral speedster also has an air intake system consisting of 2 large air scoops behind each of the two car seats, then air intakes on the side of the car for the oil cooler. Air that passes through the oil cooler is vented out through the X-shaped taillights. The air scoops are made of carbon fiber and are designed to support the entire weight of the car to protect passengers in the event of a roll-over crash.

Then related to its design, the Mistral speedster is said to be inspired by the classic 1934 Bugatti Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid. Specifically, such the Roadster Grand Raid model seen by the Bugatti's designers at the Louwman Car Museum in the Netherlands. The sharp-angled V-shaped windshield and the hump that rises behind each seat are some of the similarities with modern cars. Meanwhile at the front, in addition having its own distinctive design with headlights each made of four light bars, the Mistral speedster is still garnished by a horseshoe-shaped central grille that looks deeper and wider than other hard-top models.
Furthermore, Bugatti also said that
the speedster will be produced in limited quantities, which is only 99 units with a price tag of €5 millions net, and all of them were already sold before the car was even unveiled to the public on Friday in Carmel, California. The first cars will be delivered to customers in 2024, after rolled out from its traditional home of Molsheim, France. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CNN | HYPERBEAST | TOPGEAR ]
New SuperCars Back in the 2021, Zyrus Engineering, a Norwegian automotive tuner created its craziest racing car, the Zyrus LP1200 R based on the Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo for testing at the iconic Nurburgring Circuit and at the time managed to create a superb lap time of just 6:48.56 seconds.
The Zyrus LP1200 Strada is built by Zyrus Engineering based on the the Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD. (Picture from: OtoBlitz)
And recently, this Norwegian automotive company introduced a road version of a hypercar called the Zyrus LP1200 Strada. The maker said that the car is designed to be the best street car that can be driven like a racing car. In the near future, lucky consumers will get this car.
The Zyrus LP1200 Strada is designed to be the best street car that can be driven like a racing car. (Picture from: OtoBlitz)
As reported by Carscoops, the Norwegian automaker will not mass-produce the LP1200 Strada. There were only nine units of the car made and sold at a price of €799,000 (approx Rp. 12.4 billion) each. Those price numbers is quite fantastic indeed, but for the buyers besides the car unit, they also get an oppurtunity to try it directly on the track with the mechanics.
The Zyrus LP1200 Strada is is powered by a twin-turbo engine that is estimated to be capable of spitting out 1,200 horsepower in racing mode or 900 horsepower in road mode by pressing only one button. (Picture from: OtoBlitz)
It is further stated by the maker that this supercar is built from the Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD which can be more comfortable for everyday driving. But there are some features that the Zyrus team has trimmed such as air conditioning, satellite navigation, and other creature comforts in place.
Meanwhile, the body panels are replaced with carbon fiber chips specially made by the company. Then the seats use leather upholstery which is hand-stitched with a touch of carbon and has the option of a racing car harness, and to complement that, a half roll cage can also be installed.
The Zyrus LP1200 Strada is the second hand-built version of the Huracan LP640-4 and also have replaced or added approximately 600 bespoke components so cut its weight about 78 kg. (Picture from: Carscoops)
Under the hood, there is a twin turbo engine that is estimated to be capable of spitting out 1,200 horsepower in racing mode or 900 horsepower in road mode by pressing only one button. Besides that, Zyrus also adds performance-smelling modifications such as TTX Ohlins suspension, carbon-ceramic discs, to a titanium exhaust.
The first model of the Zyrus LP1200 Strada has been finished and shipped in July, 2022, and hopes to produce two more units in early 2023. (Picture from: BlackXperience)
So overall, Zyrus said that the LP1200 Strada is the second hand-built version of the Huracan LP640-4 and also have replaced or added approximately 600 bespoke components so cut its weight about 78 kg.
Now, it's weighing about 1,287 kg, and the Zyrus LP1200 Strada can generalize to 1,800 kg of downforce at 240 kph. According to the automaker, the first model has been finished and shipped in July, 2022, and hopes to produce two more units in early 2023. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ZYRUS | CARSCOOPS | ]
Concept ONLY Have you ever imagined what motorcycles will look like in the next 100 years or so? It is like to be time travel to the future which may be very interesting to discuss. Although most likely we will still rely on physical means of transportation, both for pleasure and necessity. In this regard, it turns out that a Canadian motorcycle designer named Anton Brousseau emerges with his very interesting idea of the future motorcycle which described as having an infinite bond between humans and machines.
The Moto Sapien is a mind-controlled ultra-futuristic motorcycle concept designed by Anton Brousseau and represents a direct relationship between the human and machine. (Picture from: RideApart)
It has similarity philosophy to Luigi Colani motorcycle concept. For your info, Anton Brousseau is an experienced motorcycle designer, having previously worked for four years in Kiska, Austria, where various motorcycle models of KTM and Husqvarna were made. Currently, he also lives in Austria, and continues to pursue his passion and love of design.
This time, he introduces to us something even more far-fetched, something that might not even realize in the near future or even in entire of our lifetime. However, it will be interesting to see what those such briliant designer created, as a famous adage tought us that the past ideas greatly influenced what we have today.
The Moto Sapien bike concept name is a pun on Homo Sapiens, and has meaning as a seamless union between human and machine. (Picture from: RideApart)
Apart from design, Anton Brousseau is also interested in anatomy, biomechanics and technology, that's why then he turned his futuristic motorcycle into a tangible idea called the Moto Sapien concept. And those bike concept name is a pun on Homo Sapiens (ancient humans who have similarities with modern ones), and has meaning as a seamless union between human and machine.
The basic concept consists of several different elements. In essence, this motorcycle is able to represent a direct relationship between the human brain and the motorcycle's on-board computer which of course has been equipped with artificial intelligence.
Those kinds of seamless union between man and machine must be combined with the moving parts of a motorcycle, giving the rider the impression that man and machine are one. As quoted of RideApart's recent article, Anton Brousseau revealed how he developed such a daring motorcycle concept.
“Detours when processing information slow us down. Everything happens indirectly, through the eyes and ears, as well as human motor skills,” said Anton.

"Just imagine we can ride a motorcycle directly, in a matter of milliseconds, with our minds," he added.
"Furthermore, imagine if we could feel with tires as smooth as we can with the sense of touch on our fingers," said Anton.
To be honest, in our opinion, it still seems a bit far-fetched. However, in fact technological advances in neural-to-machine interfaces have begun in other domains. The such kinds of technology has been widely used in the medical field, for prostheses or voice control, for example. In addition, nanotechnology and reinforcement carbon have long been used in the development of artificial muscles, limbs, and other body components.
It must be admitted that to realize such this motorcycle concept is difficult and still far away to go, though by using most advanced of current technologies. Maybe it's more realistic to realize Anton Brousseau's futuristic hydrogen-powered motorcycle named Hydra.

DREAM Car We are always happy to share information regarding concept vehicles that are planned to be launched in the future. Regardless of whether the concept vehicle will succeed in showing its real form and being presented to the automotive world audience or not. Why is that? Because in our opinion, by conveying a concept vehicle design, it has at least given us what a little persfective about future vehicles being made by designers.
The Trident Iceni Magna sportscar was one car model produced by
BDI's subsidiary, Trident Sports Car Ltd. back in the 2014. (Picture from: Supercars.net)
As quoted of Road&Track, in early 2021, Bevan Davidson International (BDI), a British automotive engineering company had stired up the world's automotive while was preparing a controversial engine design that had never existed for car before, called the Villiers X20, and if completed later will be used in the next supercar made by BDI's subsdiary, Connaught Motor Company.
The
Connaught Type D GT Syracuse sportscar was one car model produced by
BDI's subsidiary, Connaught Motor Company back in the 2004. (Picture from: ConnaughtMotorCompany)
The company is headed by Phil Bevan, a longtime motorhead who has been designing and making cars since 1969, including the almost-there vehicles from Trident. BDI also owns Connaught, Villiers and many other marques and also produced a 2.0litre V10 engine of Tim Bishop for their proposed Type-D GT Syracuse sports car.
The next Connaught Motor Company supercar is projected to be used the new developed Villiers X20 engine. (Picture from: ConnaughtMotorCompany)
Then Connaught have tentative plans to create a new supercar
powered by a X20 4.0litre engine coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission system. As revealed by the company through its official website which states that its X20 engine configuration can simply be described as two V10 motors mated horizontally.
The next Connaught Motor Company supercar is projected to be used the new developed Villiers X20 engine.(Picture from: ConnaughtMotorCompany)
Each engine will be connected via a different gear at each end with an incorporated torque vibration damper. Power is sent through the central output shaft to the clutch and gearbox. Thus the engine will have a total of twenty exhausts, ten each with five on the top and five on the bottom per side. The engine can spin up to 10,000 rpm, which of course will also produce extraordinary sound.
The engine will be wide but will be very low and compact vertically, which is said to help reduce the center of gravity once installed in the vehicle. The company also said it had a mocked-up engine for evaluation even though it wasn't running yet. Its intention was to develop the concept engine into a working prototype eventually adapting it to run a turbocharged injection system to maximize power levels.
Here's a mockup power unit and transaxle of Villiers X20 engine configuration developed by Bevan Davidson International . (Picture from: VilliersEngineering)
Then how much power will produce? These two 2.0-liter engines mated together make for a 4.0-liter displacement, and 40 valves in total, are said to be able to churn out 400 horses without forced induction. And according to BDI, then this engine is perfectly matched to a Lamborghini Gallardo six-speed manual transmission.

No details have been released yet related this X20 engine, however the company is now planning to launch several modular versions of the 20-cylinder engine, as well as the Connaught's supercar engine, under the Villiers brand. Furthermore the Bevan Davidson International also said that there is a V3, V5, V6, V8, V12 derivatives of the engine, in total 18 projects being worked by then.
So far, the project isn't finished yet, and one could argue that a 20 cylinder engine in itself is nothing new because versions are used in locomotives (the diesel variety), large trucks as well as in boats and such, but for passenger cars are still more far-fetched theory. One thing that we really hope for from this project if it is successfully realized later is to be able to hear its roar while turned it on. Let's wait and see. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TRIDENTSPORTSCAR | CONNAUGHTMOTORCOMPANY | VILLIERSEMGINEERING | ROAD&TRACK | THEDRIVE | HOTCARS | ID.MOTOR1 ]
Special ONES One model made by BMW which has a relatively short circulation in the automotive world is the BMW Z8 which was launched by those German manufacturer in the early year of 2000s. Due to its fairly short time existencies, so that some of its devotees do not have time to enjoy its unique physical form.

That's why then a third party called Smit Vehicle Engineering built the modified SVE Oletha Coupe to accommodate some its enthusiasts wishes. Actually, this car isn't really a fitting copy of the BMW Z8, but the impact is evident, and the creation is stunning and sleek to look at.

Unfortunately, the automaker doesn't reveal what the Oletha is based on. Although, we can expect the modified car to be based on the BMW E86 Z4. Although there’s no mention of the Z8, the Oletha’s carbon fibre composite body quite clearly takes inspiration from the short-lived Chris Bangle-designed roadster, itself an homage to the old 507. In addition, according to car maker, the SVE Oletha Coupe weighing about 3,090 lbs (1,401 kg).

Judging from its appearance, it can be seen from the shape of the rear window and the greenhouse that it looks identical, and the location of the fuel filler cap is the same, right behind the passenger door. However, Oletha removed almost every reference to the BMW E86 Z4 with the stunning bodywork that turned this coupe model into a unique car.

This modified car is powered by a 450 horsepower V8 engine hiding under the hood. The engine features custom carbon fiber and stainless steel intake manifolds and Inconel exhaust components, with the engine pairing to an H-pattern six-speed manual gearbox. Power is sent to the wheels through a limited slip differential mechanism.

Furthermore its stopping power provided from AP Racing brakes system with lightly forged Radi-CAL calipers and fully floated rotors. While the legs use 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires to wrap the monoblock forged five-spoke wheels.
The SVE Oletha Coupe built no more than 100 units, beside that customers can also request a bespoke build, which includes a choice of materials, colors and textures. (Picture from: id.Motor1)
Furthermore, regarding the interior, the automaker said that this car will have a driver-focused cockpit and be decorated with the best materials. Regarding the seats, customers can choose between an adjustable eight-way touring seat or a carbon fiber composite sport seat.
SVE will make no more than 100 units, beside that customers can also request a bespoke build, which includes a choice of materials, colors and textures. The starting price for the car is $450,000, although presumably, the later inline-six version will be a bit less. In addition, the company accepts any special requests apart from additional engineering and design work. Oletha looks like a modern intepretation of the BMW Z8 in coupe style. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SVE | IDMOTOR1CARTHROTTLE ]
CONCEPT Only As we all know that Harley-Davidson made motorcycle line ups in 2022 is filled with Softail Standard, Breakout 114, Road King Special, Sportster S models, and others. So, among those many production lines of motorcycles made by those Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer, it can be sure you will not find a model like the one we are going to discuss today. What model it is?
Harley-Davidson
Streetfighter concept designed by Yan-Xuan Lai, a student majoring in
industrial design at Taipei Technical College, Taiwan. (Picture from: Moto-Station)
Well, it was a concept motorcycle that carried the neo classic hot rod style like never before and named the Harley-Davidson Streetfighter. This cool motorcycle concept had caused a stir in internet, was designed by Yan-Xuan Lai, a student majoring in industrial design at Taipei Technical College, Taiwan.
Harley-Davidson Streetfighter concept has hub-centered steering with a swing arm in front as opposed to conventional telescopic forks. (Picture from: RideApart)
As quoted of DesignBoom, this bike draws inspiration from Streamliners of the 1930s. His most recent concept puts a sleek and streamlined spin on the iconic
cruisers of Harley-Davidson, with inspiration from the ultra-streamlined
designs of the 1920s and 1930s.

Although the name of the motorcycle doesn't really translate the concept he created, because the Streetfighter concept is usually focused on a modern naked sport bikes, not cruisers. As in the characteristics of cruiser motorcycles, namely low seats and long bodies, but what is unique is the position of the foot step backwards, making the legs so perched instead of looking sporty.

As the designer, Yan-Xuan Lai, who really likes an American motorcycles by combining the hot rod design with these modern elements. The headlights follow the line of the boxed side body. Then the handlebars are made simple to enter the body, and above it is embedded a digital instrument panel. Meanwhile, on the side body near the tank, a Harley-Davidson logo graphic is attached.
Harley-Davidson Streetfighter concept has a minimalist round dashboard emerges from the upper curved silhouette. (Picture from: DesignBoom)
But what's interesting about the Harley-Davidson Streetfighter motorcycle concept is that it has a unique damper structure such as a swingarm at the front as a replacement for the conventional shock absorbers. This hub steering swingarm model reminds us of the figure of an old Italian motorcycle, the Bimota Tesi H2. As for the motorcycle's kitchen spur uses an air-cooled V-Twin engine, but there is no further information about the engine let alone its performance.
Harley-Davidson Streetfighter concept has a riding position closer to a racing bike along with an automotive-inspired rear wings. (Picture from: DesignBoom)
It should be borne in mind that this concept motorcycle was actually made by a Taiwanese student who in fact is not the official designer of the American motorcycle manufacturer, so there is actually no certainty that this Harley-Davidson Streetfighter will be mass-produced or not. Nevertheless, the concept’s streamlined aesthetics fit the motorbike posture perfectly as the whole, especially in the massively popular neo-retro segment. Then what do you think?

Concept ONLY In fact, we currently live at the end of the 21st century, where electric-powered vehicles have slowly but surely taken up the role and portion of conventional internal combustion engined ones, and are also herd it towards its ending. Even especially now there have been many hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles emerging to take part in the competition and the conventional internal combustion engine will be more and more abandoned.
The Bugatti La Finale which was digitally created by Serkan back in the 2020 intended to be his bachelor thesis sponsored by the Molsheim-based automaker, also to pay tribute for the glory days of conventional internal combustion engined cars. (Picture from: Behance.net)
However, it turns out that there is a super car concept called the Bugatti La Finale which was digitally created by Serkan Budur back in the 2020 as his bachelor thesis sponsored by those Molsheim-based carmaker company. Besides that also intended to pay tribute for the conventional internal combustion engined vehicles that had been continuously supplied for decades by automotive manufacturers.
The Serkan Budur's Bugatti La Finale concept is said to take the design attributes from the Bugatti La Voiture Noire and also the iconic Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante. (Picture from: ClassicDriver)
As quoted of YankoDesign, this La Finale concept is not just a supercar design, but it is a vessel, a museum for conventional internal combustion engines. Instead of hiding its pinned vintage technology under an opaque hood, the La Finale concept displays this vintage technology like a crown jewel keeps under a transparent hood that lets many able to see those engine and pistons shape with all their glorious parts.

Further in terms of design, the La Finale concept is said to take the design attributes from the world's most expensive car, Bugatti La Voiture Noire also to pay tribute to the iconic Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante then amps it up with split surface bodywork that does not feel completely like the modern-day Bugatti DNA.
The Bugatti La Finale retains the Bugatti's characteristics horseshoe grille, so if you look at the front fascia as a whole, it looks like a fox grinning wildly. (Picture from: CarDesignWorld)
As You can see, the car concept featured with double-tones paneling
bodywork by using metal sheets as well as carbon fibers to create an
interplay that makes the car look less blockish and more smooth
sculptural body panels.
As the name suggests, the La Finale is envisioned as Bugatti’s last car with an internal combustion engine. (Picture from: CarScoops)
But actually the center of attention of the La Finale concept lies in its hood made of transparent glass which is made as if it continues to flow upwards to then turn into a windshield. The glass has a function such a storefront window to look into the car’s
W12 engine, which described will be a vintage rarity in the future by
its designer, Serkan Budur.
The Bugatti La Finale is planned to use a newly envisioned W12 engine instead W16 due to the engine’s smaller dimensions would allow for tighter packaging as well as significant weight savings. (Picture from: YankoDesign)
This showcase gives the car’s engine the precious treatment it deserves, while right in front of it, visible through the gap between the two surfaces, are suspension-springs that further the car’s approach to showcasing its internals in an exhibitionist fashion.

Besides that, the La Finale concept also retains the characteristics of the vehicle from the manufacturer based in Molsheim, such as an iconic element that unites all the company's cars that has existed since the era of its founder, Ettore Bugatti, namely the horseshoe grille. So if you look at the front fascia of the car concept as a whole, it looks like a fox grinning wildly.
The Bugatti La Finale The Bugatti La Finale concept is thoroughly modern and embraces Bugatti’s design philosophy with a futuristic twist. (Picture from: YankoDesign)
Indeed, not all typical Bugatti elements appear in this Serkan Budur concept car, such as the C bar design which is usually found in all more contemporary Bugatti models. In our opinion, the absence of the C bar design is not a problem for the overall design of the La Finale concept.
The unique design of the Bugatti La Finale concept extends to the passenger compartment as it features wraparound glass and an angular roof. (Picture from: Behance.net)
After all, the point of the La Finale concept isn’t to look at the C bar, it’s to admire the car in its entirety, and also its internal combustion engine described by its designer such a precious relic in the next few decades ahead. Frankly, we really admired this Bugatti La Finale concept and thought it would be a shame if this design had to end up as a concept only without ever being realized into a real car.😟 *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BEHANCE.NET | SEKO91| YANKODESIGN | CARSCOOPS | UK.MOTOR1 | AUTOEVOLUTION ]
