Dubai isn't exactly lacking in eye-catching skyscrapers, but a new tower by automotive brand Bugatti and developer Binghatti is sure to turn heads. The stunning building will host luxury residences and include a pair of car elevators, allowing well-heeled owners to drive their Centodieci right up to their penthouse suite.

Bugatti Residences will be located in Dubai's Business Bay. Judging from the renders available, the building's design is reminiscent of Zaha Hadid's more ambitious output and will combine a twisting curvy form with an eye-catching silvery exterior.

Finer details, such as its height and structural system are still lacking at this early stage and we expect to learn more as the project progresses, though we do know that it will contain a collection of 171 Riviera Mansions residences and 11 Sky Mansion penthouses, each boasting a unique bespoke layout.

As you'd expect, the amenities will also be significant, including a beach area designed to replicate the je ne sais quoi of the French Riviera in Dubai (referencing Bugatti's French roots), plus a private pool, jacuzzi spa, and fitness club. By far the most interesting feature however will be the tower's two garage-to-penthouse car elevators, echoing Porsche's own car elevator tower in Miami, and allowing the owner to literally drive home.

"Unmatched craftsmanship and exquisite finishes that set a new standard for opulence will be at the heart of the living spaces curated for Bugatti Residences, ensuring that the 'Art of Living' is reimagined for a contemporary defining era," explained Bugatti's press release. "Both penthouses and mansions offer spacious living areas adorned with the finest material selection the world has to offer. The Bugatti Residences carry a seamless blend of comfort, functionality and elegance that reflect Bugatti and Binghatti’s pre-eminence in design."

Bugatti is the latest luxury automotive firm to show a keen interest in architectural design and follows similarly opulent projects from Aston Martin and Bentley.

Haha, ‘not sure how sitting passively in a car, riding an elevator, is “driving” it to the top… anymore than my 1 year old grandson sitting in the driver’s seat of his father’s R1T is “driving” it.

I never thought I would see something as ugly as a modern Bugatti car, but this building is it. A perfect match for the rich person with no taste or style at all. Thank god it is on the other side of the world. Bleah!

Every time you purchase gasoline that comes from the middle east, you are enabling these places to spend the money to build nonsense like this.

What am I missing? Isn't it hot and dusty? If you have that kind of money why not move to the south of France or something?

WHY?

Fire! What happens when a "garaged" vehicle ignites due to an electrical problem? What happens when an incapacitated driver hits the accelerator instead of the brake? Garaging volatile vehicles on multiple floors next to living spaces is insane.

The amazing thing is that someone thought it would be a great idea to take what is essentially a potential bomb, whether that is petrol or Li batteries up to your high rise luxury apartment!

Aside from the sheer uselessness of driving a car up to your apartment, this building screams "I have a lot of money but no class or taste".

Wow, New Atlas is getting better and better at uncritically presenting the most excessive and tasteless forms of wasteful consumption. These are not visions of the future I would like to inhabit.

Brian M - I take it you don't have a garage connected to your house to charge your fire prone battery recalled Ford Mach-e or your Ford's recalled 333,342 Escape and 188,436 Bronco Sport SUVs from the 2020 through 2023 model years over a risk of engine fire. The recall is related to a fuel injector that could crack, causing a potential fuel or fuel vapor leak that could lead to an under hood fire. Ford "Quality Job None." I'd be happy to take my Tesla's plaid Model S and new Ferrari to my Penthouse. For those boring folks who don't like the modern design, you all don't appreciate design, architecture or the French Rivera.
