suzuki esteem turned into veyron replica

The Bugatti Veyron is one of the fastest cars in the world and definitely the rarest car in India. The very few (single digit) Veyrons that have been sold in India make it a sighting as probable as Elvis. Now an Indian car designer (SF Carz) has taken a Maruti Suzuki Esteem (second generation Swift) and turned it into a Veyron. The result hasn’t turned out too bad. Although the smaller dimensions of the Esteem are immediately visible, the effort is certainly a good one.

While the Bugatti Veyron has all of 16-cylinders pumping 1001 PS of power, the Veyron replica makes do with just 85 horses, from its 1.3-liter, 4-cylinder engine. Top speed of the Esteem is 165 km/hr but with all these modifications, expect it to drop slightly. At least the designer has thought of a fake engine cover to replicate the mid-engined Veyron. We are not sure about the cost of this job, but we suspect it would be less than $20,000/- (including the value of the donor car).

I take it there is a version based on the Fiero as well.

If only Suzuki had known in time! I wonder how a Kizashi would look as a Bentley Continental?

MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).

3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
