How Would a 2+2 Bugatti Look?
What would a 2+2 Bugatti model look like nowadays? The manufacturer itself may not ever tell us that, but Reuben Zammit, a Maltese designer, has tried to do so with the Project Streamliner. “The Streamliner is a design exercise done to show our view of how a Bugatti 2+2 GT could look like. While trying to keep the car as original as possible, we wanted to incorporate touches that makes it immediately recognizable as a Bugatti”, said Zammit to World Car Fans.
Clearly inspired on one of the most incredible cars ever created, the Bugatti Veyron, the Project Streamliner was designed towards other goals. “Instead of just trying to find ways to make it look good, we also made the design sketches in a way that the car would have a bigger interior space than it's rivals and also a bigger boot”, Zammit told World Car Fans. In other words, it would be more comfortable than the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, and more luggage could be carried inside its boot.
At Zammit’s website, you can also see more about the Streamliner. “This is a top end front engine rear wheel drive car designed for those who want to travel fast in style and comfort”, informs Zammit. According to CarScoop, this GT would use the W12 twin turbo engine already in use in other VW group brands. It is a pity this car will probably never each production lines, but Bugatti could think of something similar in order not to be a one car brand. Even if it is the most fantastic ever built.

I quite like these renderings. I especially like the frontal shot and the rear 3/4 shot. The proportions of the car are good but I doubt there would be sufficient space for the rear passengers.
The glass house look too large in the profile rendering.
Also, I think Mr Zammit should have the courage to move away from the de riguer Bugatti two-tone colour schemes. Most of the people I know, and myself included, do not like the two-tone colour scheme. Though it exaggerates the curved profile more.
Finally, may I humbly suggest Mr Zammit to hone and refine the details of the car a bit more. You need to really focus on the small details so that it does not resemble a Caterham, Marcos, or a Morgan kit car.

I love these renderings. If they build it, I just hope that the final product doesn't change too much like they did with the 612 Scaglietti.

to me this is just mixture of 612 and 599. but at least not as freakin' ugly as the veyron.

Proportions aren't correct, and a 2+2 Bugatti deserves a longer, sleeker body, this looks like a stretched 8C, hence shorter than the Veyron?????

2+2?? Not likely (Judging by these drawings). Perhaps a roadster. And a V12 in a car of that size is pushing it a bit. But then again, they are only drawings of what Mr. Zammit thinks could be. I've seen a few cars sort themselves out from concept to end production.
Too much like a Scaglietti. And I think this chap is probably a stylist rather than a designer.
