Bugatti Hot Rod: The Bugnotti Coupe

The Bugnotti is a new sexy hot rod concept which brings in the flowing lines of Delahaye 165 M but with the speed of the Bugatti 57.

Cook, who owns the Deco Rides hot rod shop, started with one of his Boattail Speedster bodies that Chip Foose designed. The body got a set of pontoon fenders (the front wheels turn lock-to-lock inside them) and other mods before being bolted to a Fat Man Fabrication chassis. It’s a hot rod, so it’s got the obligatory Chevrolet small-block with a General Motors slushbox.

The Bugnotti is a one-off, but it’s for sale.  Cook’s also working on a Bugnotti coupe with somewhat more conventional styling inspired by the Bugatti 57s.
