Is This Imagined Bugatti SUV Crazy Awesome or Crazy Stupid?
Move over Chiron, the Bugatti SUV could be the luxury exotic people really want.
Digital artist Tobias Buttner has designed what he thinks a Bugatti SUV could possibly look like, that is if the French automaker actually entertained such a seemingly sacrilegious idea. It might seem crazy that the same minds behind the world’s fastest supercar would ever build a high-riding vehicle with comfortable seating for five.

Bugatti hasn’t hinted that it would build an SUV, but maybe the idea isn’t as far-fetched as you might think. Bentley has the Bentayga heading to dealerships soon and Rolls-Royce is rumored to be working on an SUV of its own. Then there’s the Lamborghini Urus that should arrive by 2018. Some might think the idea of a Lamborghini SUV is crazier than a Bugatti SUV.
It likely will never happen, considering Bugatti’s mantra in developing some of the world’s most powerful and fastest cars. For now, it is concentrating on the Chiron and its production, so you don’t have to worry about seeing a Bugatti SUV anytime soon, if ever.

Its good . it doesnt need the 1500 hp chiron engine .it looks like a small cross over so the almost 300 horsepower golf R engine would be appropriate .ya a little bit more power than the toureg would be nice . and i would add the side C to the body and also more down to earth material for the interior .extensive use of alluminium would bring down the weight so with that engine 0-60 is not far from 5 seconds .i would definitely build it in china then i would be able to sell it for around 80 thousand bucks or even less in the US and you know how many people would line up to buy a sub 100 grand bugatti .vw would become the number 1car manufacturer in the world . my mind is business oriented not emotional .
it looks kinda ugly and what engine would youput in. Also what does he/she mean when he says "lamborghini urus coming out in 2018". Like, when was this written. Huh???
