For some reason, the Bugatti Chiron has stopped being the "my record went platinum" car for rappers everywhere. Maybe it has something to do with the car costing about three times more than the Veyron. Or is that just inflation?
Regardless, the shape of the Chiron is somehow even more iconic than the Veyron's. Its design and proportions are similar, but everything feels like it's been drawn with a freshly sharpened pencil. It's beautiful, for lack of a better word, and the closest most people will ever come to owning one is a cool Lego kit.

Several price brackets below the Chiron, we have the British GT sports cars. They're not mid-engined and pack about half the power. Yet they also cost significantly less. We'd argue that their shapes are almost as iconic, and it would be a real shame if somebody were to mess around and... do a face swap.

Like Travolta and Cage in Face/Off, the Bentley Continental GT has been allowed to infiltrate the world of hypercar crime lords with the body stolen from the Bugatti. This mashup by superrenderscars is only the latest in a long line of fake W16 monsters.

Over the past couple of months, we've also shown you a Volkswagen Scirocco, Tesla Roadster, Subaru STI, and a Lamborghini Urus face swap for these $3 million French-built machines. But of the ones we've seen so far, Bentley's face is the classiest and thus the most fitting swap.

Aston Martin's DB11 is another story. This exotic V12 beast is known for long-nosed GT lines and can also deliver doses of savagery in this Superleggera configuration. So the face clashes with that of the Bugatti. But here's an interesting question: would you have all the cars we listed above plus money for gas or one Chiron? That's a tough one.
