Bugatti Type 12-2 Streamliner design concept adds extra set of seats
Click above to view high-res gallery of renderings
A few months ago, we wrote about an amateur designer who penned today's vision of a Bugatti Royale. It was all good at the front, and then things got a bit, well, funky at the rear. Now another car designing buff with a
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.

Gorgeous and creative. However, I cannot envision how people would cmfortably sit in the back seat. Guess the interior dimensions would clear that up.

This is a much improved attempt in comparison to the "Cuda from Brazil" but the rear seems a little to Alfa 2 seater, I don't see this as a 4 seater. The belt line is a little low especially in the rear passenger area, and the front end is not even close to holding the quad turbo monster W 16. Keep in mind the amount of mass in the rear of the Veyron is to hold the current engine/ radiators and I think this is were using the engine in a front engine rear drive layout will cause engineering fits. I think with a little attention to some of the packaging issues this could be a nice shape, the Bugatti cues are there it just needs a little refinement.

That profile veiw isn't doing it for me, and I'm a big Veyron fan. Also, the 612 is among one of the most poorly-received Ferraris, so I'm not sure if it's a good target. I like it, and I like this car overall, but it looks a little stubby in the profile to be the athletic GT it wants to be.

What a masterpiece in design. Also, by the sounds of it, this one is designed to turn a profit.

The side profile is a bit Z4. This thing is one of the best amateur designed cars that I think I have seen posted up.

The 12-2 secretly reveals the 12.2 Million Dollar Price Tag. Haha. I like what I'm seeing though.
