Two cars that helped establish Bugatti’s reputation as a world-class automaker during the difficult interwar period were the Type 35 and Type 57 Atlantic. Stunningly beautiful, intricately built and incredibly powerful, these two cars summed up all that Bugatti was and wanted to be.
Now, Canadian industrial designer Amadou Ndiaye has taken these two classic automobiles and melded them into one with his Bugatti Atless design study.
Essentially two cars in one, the Atless comes in two flavours: grand touring and race. In grand touring mode, one set of lightweight body panels are fitted over the chassis, engine, transmission and interior making a comfortable, enclosed two-seat GT car.
In race mode however the sublime bonnet, roof, glasshouse and rear quarter panels are ditched for a stripped down shell turning the Atless into a lightweight, open-air speedster.
It’s an innovative concept, and you can check out our full gallery of pictures as well as leave a comment below.

The front looks nice, very clean and simple. The back? not so much.
Is this another "let's make all the illustrations dark and mysterious" so no one gives damn presentation? Yet another stylistic exercise in masturbation.
These are just the sketchiest of computer drawn sketches. Nothing more. OK, but really, why bother?
the front is very close to the Morgan Eva Gt ... but nice concept ...
this has nothing in common with the thinking of Bugatti .... next is that the call it car looks so 90's .... nothing fresh and new .... there it seperates hobby designers from professional designers
