FIRST LOOK AT THE BUG-ATTI!

 

BugAtti IS A REALITY — WE HAVE PROOF!


Despite Volkswagen Group’s denials, rumors about the existence of a smaller, less-expensive Bugatti called the BugAtti stubbornly keep popping up across the auto blogsophere.

Recently, while visiting Hardshell, West Virginia, Parksplug reader Augie Constable photographed a prototype BugAtti that was parked at Hoist Castle, the former home of Prenable J. Flogoat, the man who coined the term Lightning Round.

Parksplug reader Augie Constable says he photographs only in black and white because it “underscores the emotion manifested in the subject matter.” Dork.

Little is known about the BugAtti (or Flogoat, for that matter) including which engine will power the two-tone roadster and whether it’s built upon Volkswagen’s MQB platform, which underpins pretty much every freaking thing in VW’s portfolio save the Neoplan Cityliner tour bus.

Hoist Castle is closed on Sundays.
