Of course this car wasn't designed in 1984 but in 2011. It's just meant to be a 1984 car (but those huge wheels aren't 1984 at all).

Really?
I thought this proposal was an effort by a member of the Bugatti family to revive the Bugatti name, before Bugatti was brought back to life by Artioli.
Surely he couldn't get away with it in 2011 since the Bugatti name was owned by VW then with the Veyron in full production?

But I agree it doesn't look like a 1984 design...

From Nikita Bridan's website:

QUOTE
The Bugatti type 105 was the last attempt to restart the company by Roland Bugatti and its road cars. An attempt to create the first digital super car, it featured extensive computer assists and software to keep the car in control. During early prototype road tests, feedback from reviewers was horrible. Citing a huge lack of feedback and a lack of consistency in the assists, led to the car having horrible dynamics.This eventually sealed the fate of the type 105, Bugatti laid dormant until the 110 EB.
UNQUOTE

I think this is all fantasy and this car never existed in the metal/glass fibre/carbon fibre!

It's all a story written in 2011

Does/did Roland Bugatti even exist?
