It would be a wonderful return to reality.
Automotive design was very exciting in the 1990s, along with many other interesting trends. It was an era when automakers allowed the design team to be completely free, which led to some very exciting results. They had produced vehicles such as the Z1 with a set disappearing doors. But nothing can compare to the Nazca C2 design, which was recently revived in a modern rendering
Italdesign used the Bugatti ID90 underpinnings to create the original vehicle and wrapped them in a Bimmer shell. You can disagree with the design, but Giorgetto Giugiaro (and his son Fabrizio) were the ones who transformed Bugatti into BMW. The finished product was inspired by the Formula 1 and Group C cars from that era, and featured a sleek carbon-fiber body.
The modern version is a reinterpretation of the original, but it also has many different design cues. The nose has a more angular set kidney grilles at the front. These appear to be completely blocked. There is also more ventilation below. The McLaren 720S’ front headlights are flicked, separating the front fascia and the rest of McLaren.
This angle is all that was available so it’s hard to tell anything about the rear. Although the original Nazca was powered primarily by a 300-horsepower (224 kW) 5.0-liter V12 motor, it is possible that the modern version could be powered by a performance hybrid system similar to the one used in the Aston Martin Valkyrie.
This render, despite its semantics, gives us hope that road-going homologation versions will be available for the LeMans Hypercar racers. Although it would be difficult to beat vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and Porsche GT1 we can still dream.
