An Ugly Veyron? No Way.

Ferrari sells used F1 cars under contractual obligations with the buyer

Selling a one off slice of motor racing history is a bit different to peddling a jumped up Skoda Fabia...

McLaren F1, which is a focused track car

If by "focused" you mean "not at all focused", then yes.

Why bother? A $40,000 car could probably outhandle it. (Elise)

Caterham CSR260 + sticky tyres = faster than a Koenigsegg

If I recall correctly, we already went through this. I was not comparing the cars. I was showing that a company can protect cars from modifications and unauthorized resale. I wasn't even suggesting that the thought crossed the minds of the higher-ups at VW.

[Amaru]

Into a tree.

You don't even need a CSR260... almost any seven can do it
Even I got faster times than a Koenigsegge around a track


And it's all a vinyl job as KonaGreen has stated before many times...
Printed cover-all vinyl..

Ugly as sin.
BUT: As a marketing excercise for the clothing label "A Bathing Ape" aka BAPE, it'll work like a charm. BAPE clothes and gear are totally in the hit lists of the stylish youth all around the planet, Japan, UK, US, and Canada etc. Here's the wiki pedia:BAPE.
It's probably all vinyl work too. Anyway the owner/wahtever dude at BAPE likes to do this shit:

Oh good god. Kill these owners!! I live just about 8miles from where they build these Phantoms, and to do this to one is terrible, the owner must be satan himself!

[DesmoRob]

I'd rather have John Lennon's Rolls.

[KonaGreen]

At least Lennon's car was an actual paint job, and a fairly decent one at that.

[Niko_Fx]

Call that decent?

[h00t_h00t]

So you've never criticized something owned by someone else before?

It was satire, based on posts like

Oh good god. Kill these owners!! I live just about 8miles from where they build these Phantoms, and to do this to one is terrible, the owner must be satan himself!

[:Exige:]

Erm ... that's a Bugatti Veyron, not a Rolls Phantom, if I have understood you correctly Live near Goodwood eh? I'm in East Sussex.

I don't know why someone would do up a Veyron in pink leopardskin, unless they were Japanese, of course. No offence, great culture and all, but they are the same people who buy Hello Kitty merchandise without a whiff of irony...

Anyway, can the owner of a Veyron not do with his/her car what they please? Didn't they just pay the average lifetime income of the King of Latvia for it, only to be told they can't paint little fishes or whatever on it? Isn't this World America yet?

When I was 18, I drove a 1981 Mercedes 380 SL. I had the thing repainted, and included a 2-inch Mercedes emblem on each front fender, right in front of the doors, in that flashy P-Diddy-esque "Illusion" paint. It's blue, it's purple, it's red, it's gold... It's a little tacky. But, by God, that's what I wanted, and it only added about 100 dollars to the price of the paintjob.

It may not have been in the best taste, but surely Mercedes won't hunt me down and sue me over it. I doubt Bugatti could do so either.

This is obviously the best Veyron ever manifested by the great god himself.

Now all we need is a pink leopard skin Enzo, and Wall Greens will be put out of business.

Yeah, I'm talking about the Roller that appears later.. And yes, about 8miles north of GoodWood. I've walked the path allround the factory, quite cool, duff shells of the Phantoms and the staff go round the site in Factory owned Mini Coopers. How cool is that!
