Actually, I think this conversion—brought to us by the good people at Ricedexotics.com— took some real balls. The Veylet or Bentron is an automotive middle finger to all those people who view automotive heritage as anything worth noting, protecting or projecting. The question here is . . . who? Nouveau riche, of course. But after that, what? They like the Veyron’s nose but can’t afford the real thing, so figured why not stick it on something “exotic”? And then there’s the question of copyright infringement. VW (Bugatti) and BMW (Bentley) must have scouts roaming the Far East looking for branded knocks offs, so why haven’t they— oh wait. Never mind.

Bugatti should build a car that looks as good as the Continental GT, versus giving exotics (and now four-doors) the Superfly treatment.
FreedMike, Bugatti should build a car in the spirit of the original Bugattis, or even better, just leave that time-honoured name alone and build their techno-monstrosities under a more suitable name. But since VAG owns these brands, they could put a Skoda badge on a Bentley, or a Bugatti badge on a SEAT, and there is nothing we can do about it!
That grille looks like a toilet seat.
