Mike.. even Stevie Wonder could tell that looks nothing like a Veyron.. what on earth were you waffling on about

Videos like this remind me... just driving a different experience of automobile can be fun by itself no matter what the differences are. Bravo guys

If you are making a replica you have to take into consideration that car won't part ways with you because nobody wants someone's else project car especially for that kind of money

Cracked windscreen, so MOT failure... How much is that to replace?!!!

I had a friend who had that exact spec you would want to get in a Bugatti. It was the original Veyron in blue but this one had a darker brown interior. It looked amazing? That replica didn’t look too bad but those headlights were the first thing that stood out to me as not being right. It was like they were 2/3 the height as the original ones or something.

Why didnt they use the healights from the 2003 passat, they look almost like the real deal. Honestly, this is a work of passion, and i totally get what the guy wanted to achieve, his own veyron. When you cant have the real thing, you build one yourself, because its your dream car, and that is what its all about. Im not going to disrespect, and call it bad taste of monstruous, because the 15/16 yo me would want one of these, right after the real veyron😅, and for that, you got to love it. Cheers to the maker of this great vision!!

I instantly knew it wasnt real. As a very young person that means Bugatti did an exceptional job cementing their design language in the media, especially towards young ones who grew up with need for speed, forza, asphalt, etc.

nah, the headlights is what gives it off... otherwise great job!

I've seen a Veyron in person, and it's one of only 3 cars I've ever seen where I was truly speechless and just wanted to sit and stare at it all day. (The other two were the Maserati MC12 and Ferrari Laferrari). This isn't it. The real car has such a presence to it in a way I can't really describe. I remember just looking at the way it sat on its wheels, at the faultless bodylines, and realising I wasn't the least surprised at all that it could happily sit at 350+ km/h without any issues at all.

The seats are technically genuine Bugatti items, however they are also used in the Bentley Continental Super Sports (the 2 seater version with the carbon brace bar in place of the rear seats).

That steering rack 😂😂

You didn't mention that you have to pay a yearly subscription for Carly (a fact well hidden in their T&Cs) and that the Smart Mechanic feature is at additional cost. On the plus side, it has helped me identify and fix several issues on my E91.

U would require an Fake Rolex as well on your wrist to drive it to make it look like even more as if you've made it. 😂

That would have been much better being left as the RS6 it started as. Its a fairly obvious fake if you see it properly so the only reason people were falling for it is because they were getting a fleeting glance in the rain. Loads of it is off or wrong. On top of that it allegedly cost enough to build that the guy could have driven a real Veyron for half of that seven years on the money. So its got zero safety, no real speed with an auto box and iffy chassis, its still going to cost a fair chunk to run because of all the bespoke bits (not Veyron money but its not a Veyron or even close), makes you look terrible when people realise its a homemade plastic bathtub after you've told them you have a Veyron, likely leaks in, has terrible nvh, could get you killed if someone wants to steal it and costs as much as a nice 911Turbo, R8 V10, older Lambo or any of the other VW group cars which aren't using a ~20 year old engine. Done well then yes but this one's not for me thanks.

Respect to that guy this is the best Veyron replica ever...reminds me of that South African engineer that built himself the almost exact replica of McLaren F1...mad respect for those guys...amd that replica of Koemigsegg Agera in a NFS movie 👌 Love it

The Temu Veyron

Wow!! 0:35 I never expected to see a sign with an XC Falcon Cobra Hardtop on it outside of Australia!

I hope the rest of the spaceframe is made of something more substantal than the solder joined 35mm copper pipe you pointed out😂

I'd love to see a video on the VW W12 nardo.

Are the paddle shifters on the steering wheel functional? If so, did putting the automatic transmission into manual mode improve the performance any? Sounds like it needs a better suspension.

From the first shot alone, I clocked it as being a replica. Out of any car in the world, why would you try to get away with a replica Veyron. Also 100k is insanity pricing.

"It looks exactly like Monte Carlo, apart from in every single detail" -Jeremy Clarkson

Doesn't look big enough at the front or rear, spot it a mile off. Can't beat the quality of Cobra and Contach replicas, those cars are scaled correctly.

The biggest giveaway for me is the paint. It really doesn't look like a million dollar paint job.

6:02 - I reckon it's an RS6 engine in there, because the first title said so :D

Wasn't expecting the Adder to get a shout out

Having bought, sold, and driven various iterations of the Bugatti Veyron I can confidently tell you there is NOTHING on this vehicle which "looks the part", "visually is all there" or is "exactly like a Veyron 16.4". This is as horrendous as all the other replica hyper cars out there and honestly if anybody in their right mind - and by means of their own free will - actually genuinely pays 150 000 for this, then I have a bridge to sell them in London followed by some very appealing swamp land, and a few lucrative plots of land for development on the moon. There is literally nothing about this that looks "exactly like a Bugatti Veyron".

Definitive answer to "just cause you can, doesn't mean you should"

The amount of investment the maker put into this 'replica' would have been far better spent creating something unique. I'm sure they could have put out a half decent track-focussed space framed pocket rocket and reaped far greater RoI. Just can't see who would buy this other than film/tv production co looking for a more affordable prop car.

Some AC Cobra replicas have become statements in their own right …. with their own recognised brands. This ….? ….. not so much

I'm not going to comment on the replica, but when it comes to which hypercar I would choose I don't think the Veyron would even be in my top ten. Don't get me wrong, it's an engineering marvel and pushed the boundaries beyond what we previously thought possible but it has just never really stirred my soul the way the holy trinity, Pagani's or Koenigseggs do. Even given 100's of millions to build a car collection, I could never see the Veyron being on my must have list.

Could Bugatti sue for copyright infringement? Or is this sort of custom job free from that sort of thing?

Fair play for the effort that went in to making this as I'm sure it was far from easy BUT...I can't imagine there are going to be too many people that will spend the money on this car. Edit: I've just got to the bit where it's revealed how much time and money went in to making this car, mindblown.

Didnt like the Tpain bit because he an actual car guy who actually took it passed 200mph and was shocked he had to replace the wheels every time😅

Replicas are cool imo and in the movie world they are needed

looks like it started out well, but then they just couldnt be arsed with it and cut heaps of corners to get it 'done' like hows that rivet on the a pillar and the steering wheel stitching and ridiculous logo on it The black plastic binacle etc etc its like if you putting that much time and effort into it AND money - go the extra 20% to do it properly
