This Bugatti Stratos concept is a futuristic frenzy of [art and design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-iconic). The idea is based off of the Bugatti ‘Type 57,’ and its looks could kill.

This concept comes somewhere from a very, very distant future and looks like it comfortably traveled through time to get here.

The Stratos brings a new idea of [old-school hints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electra-orbit) to a mega [futuristic supercar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hypercar-prototype). You can only guess the potential that this car really has but don’t get your hopes up because it will *never* happen.
