Bugatti Veyron Replica Advertised for $115k on eBay

Mortals like us can only dream about riding in or owning a hypercar such as the Bugatti Veyron. The production run numbers just 450 units of the thing, so it's not that surprising some people tried to replicate the Veyron as well as they could. But limited budgets and inadequate tools do render Veyron replicas to a sea of fiberglass and awfulness.

But that's not really the case with what we found recently on eBay. What you can see in the photo gallery below might not seem that impressive of a replica at first glance, especially with those replica BMW M5 (F10) alloy wheels, but look closer and you'll see that this faux Veyron is actually pretty close to the original in proportions and fine details.

The seller is adamant that the bodywork is 90 percent completed, while the interior is 80 percent done. Based on a 2004 model year Pontiac GTO, this replica rides on a chassis and drivetrain that can take a lot of abuse and it's made from layers of fiberglass and tube steel for added strength.

eBay user realistspicever19 tells that "the only things that are left to do is paint, upholstery on the interior and final assembly." Both the mechanical and electrical part of the build are functioning and the car has been tuned to run smoothly. All fluids have been changed according to the ad's description.

A full custom exhaust with racing headers and a K&N intake system round the $115,000 package off. Yes, it's got a humdrum 5.7-liter V8 under the hood, but hey, it looks like a Bugatti Veyron... sort of.
