The Bugatti truck that broke the internet is the Hyper Truck concept, an eight-wheeled design study that reimagines the hauler as something only Bugatti could dream up. It is the brainchild of designer Prathyush Devadas, not an official Bugatti vehicle, yet it borrows the brand's signature cues to turn a working truck into rolling sculpture. Here is what the Bugatti Hyper Truck concept is, who designed it, and where to find the closest real machines.
What is the Bugatti Hyper Truck concept?
Bugatti is a name synonymous with luxury and ultimate performance, the maker of cars like the Chiron and Veyron, and over the years plenty of unofficial concepts have surfaced, from off-road studies to baja racers. The Hyper Truck takes a different swing. For the first time, the concept uses a single continuous shell for both the trailer and the cockpit, a sinuous elongated body that flows directly into a suspended cab for a single driver. As Top Gear noted, it rides on eight wheels, two at the front and six at the rear, to fully support its cargo.
Who designed the Bugatti Hyper Truck?
This concept is not even a car at all. It is the work of Prathyush Devadas, who folded Bugatti's iconic hardpoints, the horseshoe grille, the Bugatti line and the centre line from the Atlantic, into a wildly futuristic silhouette. A gaping C-shape houses a vertical glass cab inspired by one of the Chiron's air vents. According to Designboom, it is purely an experiment in design. There are numerous practical issues with it, and we do not expect this eight-wheeler to reach production, but as pure eye-candy it is a fascinating take on a very traditional vehicle from a very traditional brand.
