Motorcycle BUGATTI

The project presentation includes a graphic part where art features of BUGATTI cars and a model in 1:5 scale are analyzed.

The graphics is separated in two parts, the first part consists of the photos of sportsters, tourist and road BUGATTI models of the flourishing period of the famous brand. It is, so-called, the initial point, the gene of Molsheim cars. The second part explains how the stylistics would develop for motorcycles of the 30-90-ies of the past century and the drawings with two forming options represented by projections in 1:5 scale.

Motorcycle assemblies and frame are entirely jacketed, this creates the effect of structure solidity. The idea to apply a mono-suspension came practically at once since we wanted to show webs that were used on some BUGATTI models, in particular, on splendid Royal Type 41. Moreover, such structure has a lot of advantages. These are low friction in mating parts, increased total motorcycle twisting stiffness, anti-pecking effect during braking.

This project was evaluated by professional designers, and was awarded with a Diploma at St.Petersburg exhibition-contest "The Best Design of 1997".
