Fake Bugatti Veyron Sell For The Price Of A Real Porsche 911

On Craigslist there was an advertisement for the sale of a Bugatti Veyron replica, for which they are asking decent money in Orlando, USA - $ 125,000 (8.03 million rubles). In Russia, the new and real convertible Porsche 911 Carrer of the 992 series costs the same.

• The fake Veyron is based on the 2002 American Mercury Cougar coupe. From a distance, the replica looks pretty good: almost all the details of the car are similar to the original, including many air intakes and a retractable spoiler. However, the quality of the parts, especially the headlights and rims, leaves much to be desired.
• Inside, the situation is the same: the front panel is copied correctly, but everything is spoiled by the steering wheel from old Porsche models with a huge Veyron emblem and ventilation deflectors with air conditioning control knobs from Mercury Cougar.
• Under the hood of the fake Veyron is a 2.5-liter V6 with 172 hp, which is combined with a four-speed "automatic" and front (!) Drive. The original was equipped with a 1001-horsepower eight-liter W16 with four turbines, all-wheel drive and a robotic gearbox.
• The seller claims to have spent $ 90,000 (RUB 5.79 million) on reworking the car and has kept all the receipts. The redesigned Mercury Cougar has a mileage of only 4,200 miles (6,759 kilometers).
