wasnt it a concept from years ago. Wonder where bugatti got its design ideas from....

it was originally a concept a few years ago. Plans to put this into limited production never came off, but some racecars were built. The racecars was loosely based on the SEAT Leon/Toledo Silhouette racer that ORECA built for the French Super Turismo Championship.

Shame it didnt come off, as it would have been a great image builder for SEAT. Have a look in the main site news section (and wallpaper pages) as some reports still exist I believe
