A Chinese company whose business involves making things that literally suck has teased its first car, which definitely doesn’t. But we see legal trouble brewing because vacuum maker Dreame’s maiden EV is a dead ringer for a Bugatti Chiron, only reimagined with four doors.

The exterior renders, which seem to have been created entirely or at least partially with AI (telltale signs include the grille pattern) were shared on social media by Dream Technology founder Yu Hao. They show a swoopy four-door coupe that could easily pass for a stretched Bugatti Chiron variant that never made production.

CES Debut?

Chinese media reports the new automotive division of the company plans to display a physical prototype of the car at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next January.

Though not an exact clone, the design is similar enough to make you do a double take. The headlights are different but the other core Chiron design elements like the horseshoe grille, central spine and C-shaped rear quarter motif are shamelessly carried across.

The interior at least looks more original, and doesn’t feature the vertical bank of dials fitted to the Chiron, whose steering wheel was milled from a single chunk of aluminium billet, but which didn’t feature any kind of touchscreen. That of course would be absurd for a Chinese car in 2027, so Dream Technology’s Chiron-a-like has a large widescreen tablet mounted above the console, plus a secondary display on the console itself.

Last month Dreame, which was founded in 2017 and styles itself as China’s answer to Apple, confirmed plans to enter the automotive space in 2027 with an electric hypercar capable of outrunning machines from Bugatti and Koenigsegg.

Shopping for Space in Tesla’s Backyard

The company is currently scouting potential production locations for a new plant to build the EV in Berlin, Germany, which include a site next door to Tesla’s Gigafactory, Car News China reports. Yu Hao previously posted images of the Tesla plant, along with text that said “factories in Europe are being selected for several businesses.” And Chinese media outlet Jieman claims Dreame is getting cosy with French bank BNP Paribas to bring its automotive plans to fruition.

While the Chiron was equipped with a quad-turbo W16 making 1,479 hp (1,500 PS / 1,103 kW) in stock form and its Tourbillon successor has a naturally-aspirated hybrid V12 that cranks out 1,775 hp (1,800 PS / 1,324 kW), Dreame’s car will be a pure EV.

Will Bugatti’s lawyers suck up this egregious theft of its IP, or will they fight back? We’ve reached out to the company for comment. Check out the images below of the pretend Chiron and the real thing.
