Designer Dreams Up Single-Seater Bugatti TypeZero Concept

t's never a bad idea to look to the past for inspiration, just as long as you don't forget theneeds and wants of the future when doing so.

French designer Marc Devauze looked atBugatti's glorious past and chose the brand's most successful racecar ever, the 1920's Type 35 that won over 1,000 races including the Grand Prix World Championship as well as the famed Targa Florio, for inspiration in creating his award winning TypeZero Concept.

The TypeZero is a study for a single-seater, electric powered "hypercar". It was designed to feature four in-wheel electric motors fed by detachable Lithium-Air batteries located on either side of the driver.

Other highlights include the minimalistic interior that Devauze says is constructed "like an old race car with an enveloping bucket seat stretched through the car".
