Over the years we’ve encountered some people who seem to take great pride and joy in turning their cars into replica exotics. Some have done a piss poor job at it while others have been good enough to make their cars ‘resemble’ these exotics, forgetting the fact that if any of the onlookers would dare lift the hood, the vehicle would be exposed as the fraud that it is. Then there’s this Bugatti Veyron that, upon first look, you would never take for a replica. Except that it actually is.
The work done on the exterior of this vehicle to turn it into a Veyron is extremely impressive. So impressive, in fact, that it may not be obvious that the vehicle that lies underneath it is by no means a lightweight either. Hiding under that remarkably accurate Veyron casing is a Porsche Boxster. Sure, it doesn’t come with the 1,000 ponies the all-original Veyron has, but at 300 horsepower, it can hold its own against other sports cars. Just make sure you don’t put it up against the Ferraris and Lamborghinis of the world, unless, of course, you’re ready and willing to get smoked out of the water and caught with your pants down.
Having said that, the real interesting part about this Veyron replica is the incredible details on the car. We admit, it had us fooled the first time we saw it and it’s probably safe to say that we weren’t the only ones that were deceived.
And if you happen to be have fantasized about owning a Veyron, but you don’t have the funding to do so, here’s your chance to make it happen. The Boxster-turned-Veyron is currently being sold for €124,636, which is about $165,000 based on current exchange rates. Sure, you’re getting about 30% of the actual Veyron’s power, but at about 7% of the real machine’ price tag – yeah, we’d say that that’s a pretty good deal.
