The design of a Bugatti hypercar embodies the pinnacle of automotive beauty and craftsmanship, where each curve and line is meticulously sculpted to create a blend of form and function, turning engineering into an art form. Frank Heyl, an essential part of Bugatti’s legacy, has been named Director of Design for Bugatti Rimac. Over 15 years, Heyl rose from Senior Exterior Designer to Head of Exterior Design and later Deputy Design Director, working closely with Achim Anscheidt, the recently retired predecessor. Heyl’s designs, including the Chiron, Divo, Bolide, and W16 Mistral, have defined the current era of Bugatti. He cherishes the core essence of the brand: performance, where true beauty and timeless elegance come from cars designed with a pure focus on form following performance.
