????每隔一年，整個汽車行業都會齊聚富有傳奇色彩的法蘭克福汽車展。今年的車展在9月19日開始對外開放，至9月27日結束，將有210款新車在車展上發布。（已提前對媒體開放。）與過去幾年的車展一樣，寶馬、奧迪和梅賽德斯-奔馳等汽車制造商均建造了豪華的展廳，其規模甚至超過了大多數學校。（奧迪甚至用冰雕做成了一個房間，專門用于展示Quattro品牌）。

????那么，今年最大的亮點是什么？毫無疑問是德國品牌（除了英國的賓利和法國的布加迪外，這兩個品牌均屬于大眾集團旗下，因此還算是公平競爭）。性感的車身和更先進的技術，挑逗著我們的神經。我們多么希望這些汽車不久便能成為現實。

????最性感的超級跑車：布加迪Vision Gran Turismo

????Every other year, the car industry gears up for the legendary Frankfurt auto show. This year’s show, which opens to the public on Saturday and runs through September 27, showcases some 210 new car launches. (The press got an advance look.) As in past years, BMW, Audi and Mercede-Benz built lavish display halls larger than most schools. (Audi even has a room dedicated to the Quattro brand carved out of ice).

????So what stood out the most this year? German offerings, no surprise (with the possible exception of British Bentley and French Bugatti, which are both owned by the Volkswagen Group and therefore fair game). Radically sexy bodies and even more radical technologies are teases—promises, we hope, of the future to come—soon.

????Sexiest supercar: Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo

????汽車制造商為索尼PlayStation賽車游戲《Gran Turismo》發明的新車，往往是科幻的產物，并沒有實際的零部件。但布加迪并非如此。乍一看，布加迪Vision Gran Turismo就像是一只調皮的長有翅膀的野獸，但它的碳纖維車身包裹著一輛真正的賽車。事實上，布加迪的設計總監阿希姆?安什德特表示，這款汽車也體現了布加迪計劃在下一代超級跑車中采用的設計理念。

????布加迪外觀設計負責人薩沙?西爾帕諾夫表示：“多數概念車只是一些視覺噪聲。我們希望創造一款能夠真正讓人久久難忘的汽車，等你回到家后，你會不由自主地畫出它的線條。”

????這款汽車確實有著美麗的線條。引人注目的側邊波浪線，同時還是必不可少的引擎冷卻進氣口。車身中央為隆起設計，形成一個鰭狀穩定板。這款汽車配備有8個水平分布的耀眼前車燈。西爾帕諾夫認為，每一個細節都符合“外形為性能服務”這一標準。內部設計同樣令人驚艷，并且更加注重性能。座椅和其他接觸點均采用了一級方程式賽車鞋中使用的細毛山羊皮，可以與駕駛員完美貼合。方向盤和轉向桿上安裝的兩個曲面屏，給駕駛員提供了180視角，可通過多個外部攝像頭來觀察周圍的路況。

????布加迪并未公布經過調教的后置W16發動機的性能參數，不過該公司預計，Vision GT的速度可以達到每小時447.56 公里（約合每小時178.1 英里），這將打破目前量產車每小時170.49 英里的最快紀錄，這項紀錄由Hennessey Vemon 保持（之前的紀錄由布加迪上一款超級跑車布加迪威龍創造）。

????如今，威龍的征程已經結束。布加迪宣布，量產的450輛布加迪威龍已全部售完。但愿我們很快便能一睹其繼任者的真容。

????When car makers invent a new car to star in Sony’s PlayStation racing game Gran Turismo, it’s usually all science fiction and zero running parts. Not Bugatti. While on the surface the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is a wickedly winged beast, underneath the outrageous carbon fiber body is a very real race car. In fact, Bugatti’s designer director, Achim Anscheidt, says it is also a peek at where Bugatti intends to push the design of its next supercar.

????“Most concept cars are just a lot of visual noise,” said Sasha Selipanov, head of exterior design. “We wanted to create something that sticks in your mind and is so memorable you could go home and draw the lines yourself.”

????And what lines they are. The dramatic side swoop that doubles as a much-needed engine cooling air inlet. The center spine that runs the length of the car and creates a stability fin. The mean, eight-eyed horizontal glare of the headlights. Every detail conforms to a “form following performance” standard, according to Selipanov. The same lines are echoed within, as is the intense focus on performance. The fine-nap suede used on Formula 1 racing shoes lines the seats and other touch points to hold the pilot in place. Two curved screens—one in the steering wheel and one mounted to the steering column—give the driver a nearly 180-degree view of the track around him, thanks to multiple exterior cameras.

????Bugatti hasn’t released performance numbers on the tweaked rear-mounted W16 engine, but the company estimates that the Vision GT can hit 447.56 kph—178.1 mph—numbers that trounce the current production-car record of 170.49, held by the Hennessey Vemon (and a title Hennessey wrested from Bugatti’s last supercar, the Veyron).

????Now that the Veyron’s run has ended—Bugatti says it has sold all 450 produced—let’s hope the wait isn’t too long for a real look at its successor.
