After the sublime Bugatti Renaissance concept, today we present another design by John Mark Vicente: the Ferrari Imola. This time, we don’t have a German, French or Franco-German car, but an Italian one that could give plenty of ideas to the designers at Ferrari.

The various sketches we show you have been created by John Mark Vicente using Photoshop CS2 and Softimage XSI. According to the author, his Ferrari concept is inspired by the Ferrari F70 created by Randy Rodriguez and the Dino Competizione by Sacha Selipanov.

Aesthetically, the Imola concept is a Spider without windscreen that reminds us of the KTM X-Bow. The designer used triangular and trapezoidal shapes to create the head and tail lights and the grille. The enormous rims and semi-slick tires underline the aggressiveness of the vehicle.

The dual exhaust highlights its sporty approach, while the side mirrors and customized flanks add a touch of grace and power. With such a look and a future hybrid Ferrari V6 engine (coming in a few years), this supercar is ready to take on the road monsters like Ariel Atom, Caparo T1, KTM X-Bow and especially the Lotus Elise.

The Bugatti Renaissance is a concept car created by Canadian designer John Mark Vicente. He is a graduate of the Communication Design program at the Emily Carr University and what you can see below we consider to be the ultimate supercar.

The Renaissance is a model based on the Bugatti Veyron, but it could well be, in the future, the vehicle that replaces it. Although running on the same platform as the Veyron, the exterior design of this concept Bugatti is far more aggressive, and overall…better.

At the front of the car, the grill has grown in size and the headlights have been redesigned, now resembling the ones on the Audi R8 and also it has a carbon fiber skirt that fits great. Above the cockpit we notice that the twin roof vents are now slightly larger.

At the back, there are two larger vents, redesigned tail lights and the Bugatti logo framed by a red line that goes all the way to the roof scoops. The car uses impressive 26 inch rims. Thought the Veyron couldn’t get any better? Apparently it can!
