Gotta be honest, this is pretty cool. Prob a lot of fun to take on a project like this:

What I don’t understand is why you’d put that much time, energy, and money into it but start with a mercury cougar.

That’t the only thing I don’t understand either.
The outside is pretty good, but the inside is horrible. But I can’t imagine anyone spending $100k+ on a obviously fake Bugatti when you can buy a very nice and real used exotic or new sports car for the same money.
Agreed 1010
True. It has both amazing attention to detail and absolutely horrible attention to detail. Look at the clock surround. And the seats look like someone rubbed feces on them.
Prob pretty difficult to source parts to a car that has an annual production run of like 7. Pretty impressive someone was able to do this.
I doubt there’s many, if any, real parts on there
Everything on a replica is usually fabricated, so I doubt anything is from the Bugatti factory. Looks like they just gave up (or ran out of money) on the interior especially with the seats and steering wheel. A on the exterior and a C- on the interior.
The clock struck me as real, but what do I know about Bugatti outside of pictures.
The real deal is just a touch outside of my budget.
How many chicks will get in and say “hey, this is not how a Veyron looks like!”…?

The gauge cluster is actually pretty bland in a Bugatti. But I do like their interpretation of it.
They might notice the questionable stains on the seats

If these stains could tell their stories…is that a high heel stain?

Anybody that pays more than $128.00 for that piece of crap should have their head examined…
Would love to hear that “strong & throaty” exhaust from a Mercury V6

I would be surprised if the sound is not simulated to sound like the Veyron.
Anyone can convert a Mercury into a Bugatti.
It takes a true master though, to do the opposite…
I know, I know - It’s just what I do… tell the world !

Of all the cars they could have picked to convert and it had to be a FWD POS Mercury Eclipse clone (pretty sure that’s what that car was based on)
Lipstick on a pig doesn’t go far enough here. They gave the damned thing a boob job, tummy tuck and a butt lift while they were there.
It says Cougar in the ad. I do agree it’s an odd foundation to use, but if you need the bones of relatively longish coupe that’s not too expensive?
But not just on the seats! On the center armrest, too. What’s really weird is that the ad says, “New leather branded.” So why are there stains at all???
