The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo Forgot How To Car
Watch as the one-off Bugatti concept car runs out of fuel and is then defeated by a small slope...
The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo didn’t cover itself in glory when leaving last week’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. After a simple manoeuvre around a lawn, the concept car appears to run out of petrol and then proceeds to make a complete hash of driving up a small ramp into a trailer.
Despite having the capabilities to reach over 250mph, the predecessor to the Chiron can’t seem to ascend the smallest of inclines, with potentially some form of transmission failure at fault.

Hopefully after this it’s all downhill for them
Hahahah
I was reading that it was due to the tricky DCT. One guy pointed out that if you don’t apply enough throttle it doesn’t engage the clutches but too much will make it drive through the truck
I would be scared to overdo it aswell. I mean, who wouldn’t in a car like that?
At times like that I just use my left foot for the brake, it gives the reaction time that’s needed
Agreed, and the driver was probably instructed to strictly stay below a certain percentage of throttle.
i figured it was the transmission too
insert a downhill pun/cheap joke here
WOW! Sooooo much torque!
I really hope Bugatti enters the 2017 LeMans because that would be amazing!!!!
Too slow for LMP, Too fast for GT
This goes to show how heavy and how much of a gas guzzler every Bugatti product is 😂😂
Ironically. it’s owned by the prince of Saudi Arabia… I’m surprised the plunge of the oil price and the country’s economy meant he couldn’t refuel it considering it was “expensive” to his wallet. LOL
So now it cant even go in a straight line :P
Ha!
I think it could be because the gearing was not meant to be used at an incline at low speed. Remember the AMG GT3s at Nürburgring 24H earlier this year when they’re about to leave the pit, I think it’s like that
