From Vacuums to Hypercars
Dreame Auto, the car-making arm of Dreame Technology, has been promising something outrageous ever since it announced plans to enter the EV market. Yes, another tech company that’s trying its hand at making cars – really fast ones.
Best known for its robot vacuums and compact motors that spin faster than a dentist’s drill, Dreame made headlines recently when it declared its first car would be “the fastest car in the world.” Not just any car, but an ultra-luxury EV, one positioned to rival Bugatti, with production targeted for 2027.
That’s the claim. And now, to prove it’s serious, Dreame has reportedly released renderings of its debut model, Dongchedi reports. Except, instead of an original design, the images look suspiciously like a Bugatti Chiron with two extra doors bolted on.
Chiron-Inspired Design Or Just a Ruse?
A good 10 seconds of staring, it isn’t hard to imagine the prompt that created these images: “Make a realistic picture of a four-door Bugatti Chiron.” The results have that uncanny valley quality of AI art – convincing at first glance, but just a bit too on the nose. The headlights, the grille, the sweeping profile – it’s all straight from Molsheim, only stretched to fit four doors.
The question is: Did Dreame really think anyone would believe this was an original work, or is the company openly trolling us? We can only imagine executives sitting back, vacuuming up the social media chatter, and grinning at the thought of Bugatti enthusiasts fuming online – or maybe Bugatti itself.
If the goal was to get attention, mission accomplished. For now, the renders say less about Dreame’s design language and more about its willingness to poke the bear.
We’ll See Dreame’s First Prototype in America
Of course, there’s a more serious side to the story. Dreame is reportedly scouting a site near Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory for its first manufacturing facility. This move would make it the first Chinese brand to set up car production in Germany. The company has a workforce of roughly 1,000, mixing consumer tech engineers with veterans from the car industry, and it has more than 6,300 patents to its name.
Still, the Bugatti lookalike renderings will define Dreame’s early reputation until we see something tangible. That’s supposedly happening at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next year, where the company says it will unveil a physical prototype. Until then, we can all just wonder if Dreame is really building the next hypercar – or if it’s just enjoying a long, elaborate prank at Bugatti’s expense.
