The French make the most outrageous modern super car and the current winner of Le Mans. What if they came back from an exile in outer space with an updated Bugatti Atlantic? This might be what it’d look like.

trend2Few eras of industrial design have produced objects of such impeccable, futuristic desire as Art Deco. Tempting it is then to imagine that the svelte lines of Bugattis and the Chrysler Building could somehow live on, infused with modern technology.

Results are ambiguous at best. Take Kerry Conran’s 2004 film, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, an absolutely gorgeous exercise in 30s chic

right down to Gwyneth Paltrow’s beige trenchcoat, but a dreadful movie. Oh and—the Bugatti Veyron. The technology is there in spades but the fleeting grace of prewar Bugattis is gone for angry turbopanzer looks.

Failing to accommodate reality in designs is a hell of a slippery slope, but French industrial designer Bruno Delussu’s rendering of a modern Bugatti Type 57 is so far removed from reality that the mind is free to conceive of anything. Say, a France removed by tractor beams from the way of an imminent Nazi invasion.
