Not content with conquering the living room with their vacuum cleaners, Chinese electronics giant Dreame made waves when they announced its venture into the automotive industry, which will kick off with an electric vehicle (EV) aimed at the Bugatti Veyron. The company has now released new teaser images of its first EV, and the irony is that Dreame seems to want to beat Bugatti… by simply becoming one.
Said to be developed under its “Starry Sky Plan,” Dreame confirmed that its first EV will make its world debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, which is scheduled for 4th to 9th January, ahead of a market launch in 2027.
Despite being an EV, the design of Dreame’s hypercar draws immediate parallels with the machines from Molsheim. Earlier teasers of the model seems to be a near-carbon-copy of the Veyron, but the horizontal LED headlight signature on the latest teaser images looks more similar to those found on the newer and ultra-exclusive Bugatti Mistral.
Granted, the car will be a four-door EV, as the side profile suggests, which is a distinction to the two-door French hypercars, but the Mistral-inspired light signature does make Dreame’s EV feel somewhat like a modern interpretation of the 2009 Bugatti Galibier concept – a weird four-door Bugatti that never made it to the production line.

The pattern continues at the rear, where the design of the EV seemingly looked at Molsheim for inspiration once again. This time, it is the Bugatti Divo that appears to have provided the blueprint. While Dreame has opted for full-width tailights here, the three-dimensional LED structure is a clear nod to the Divo’s distinctive 3D-printed fin taillights.
Dreame has not yet released official technical specifications for its hypercar. However, according to a report by Autohome, the EV will reportedly feature a powertrain equipped with an advanced refrigerant-based cooling system, allowing it to boast outputs exceeding 1,000 hp. This would enable a face-melting 0-100 km/h sprint in less than 1.8 seconds.
This is not the first time a Dreame vehicle has looked heavily inspired by other models. In fact, its second model, designated as a luxury SUV, looks as if it were inspired by the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, complete with the signature suicide doors.
Despite its origins in China, Dreame reportedly plans to assemble its vehicles in Germany. CarNewsChina reports that the appliance maker is pursuing a new factory site strategically located near Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory. This move is likely intended to circumvent European tariffs on Chinese-built cars, while at the same time streamline the production of their home appliances for the European market.
