Have You Already Seen This Bugatti Replica?

Bugatti rolled out only 450 Veyrons, but hold on—this one's not part of the elite club. Unlike your run-of-the-mill replicas with their awkward proportions, this imposter supercar took a bold route, flaunting a bespoke chassis.
At first glance, it might trick you into thinking it's a Veyron, complete with a 3D-printed engine cover mirroring the W16, hiding a surprise underneath—a twin-turbo 4.2-liter V8 from an early Audi RS6.
Sure, it pumps out a mere 444 hp, a far cry from the Veyron's glory, and sports a slightly cracked windshield snagged from Molsheim, France. The exterior nails the replication game, but step inside, and it's a different story.
Forget Bugatti luxury; you get hard plastics and a somewhat tacky oversized EB logo on the wheel, thanks to some Audi hand-me-downs. Yet, give credit where it's due. This one-man show took seven years, £350,000, and a relentless spirit to shape this unique creation. Valued at £150,000 ($190,000) now, it's not your typical supercar, but it sure adds a fascinating chapter to the automotive narrative.
