Bugatti's real-life videogame car

Bugatti's Vision Gran Turismo offers an idea of what a future Bugatti might look like.

Bugatti, maker of 1,200 horsepower supercars with seven-figure price tags, unveiled a fantasy videogame car in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show. But this one wasn't just made of pixels. Bugatti engineers created a real, drivable version.

The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is a model of the car that appears in the popular Gran Turismo videogame series. The real-life version is fully drivable but wasn't designed to comply with government safety regulations -- only racing regulations. The Vision Gran Turismo was designed to excel on the LeMans track, which features long, straight sections -- putting a premium on top speed.
