Rides : Check Out This '92 Honda Civic, thinks its a Veyron


Honda Civic Veyron edition


Dressing up budget hatchbacks to appear to be something more than they are seems to be all the rage these days. Toyota iQ becomes Aston Martin Cygnet. Mini Cooper becomes the Rolls-Royce-inspired Goodwood edition. Even the Fiat 500 has had its Tributo Ferrari. But while most of these kinda make our eyes roll a little (or a lot), this latest privateer entry into their ranks just makes us chuckle.

Someone, it seems, took a fifth-generation (1992-95) Honda Civic hatchback and dressed it up to look like a mini-me Bugatti Veyron, complete with two-tone Rape Yellow and black paint job. And you know what? It doesn't look half bad.

Sure, the wheels don't match, and yes, it is downright comical to dress up a car that should barely sell for more than $2,000 to look like one that costs over a million. But while it may be missing a few cylinders – make that a few cylinder banks, and the quad turbos – it manages to tickle our funny bone in a way few other gussied-up premium hatchbacks can.

Rides : Check Out The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Red Edition

[VIDEO] Frankfurt: Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Red Edition revealed

The newest model in Bugatti’s supercar division lineup, the Grand Sport, doesn’t seem to be a success and while its older brother, the Super Sport, was a huge hit with its incredible top speed and acceleration time, this one managed to sell just 42 units out if the 150 available.
In a disparate move to attract the rest of the 108 customers to its Grand Sport, Bugatti decided to release a Red Edition at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which is actually nothing more than a new paint scheme on the same body with the same performance.
As a reminder, the Veyron Grand Sport, the world’s fastest convertible, is powered by an 8.0 liter W16 engine which is delivering 1.001 horsepower, pushing the supercar to a top speed of 407 km/h with its roof on, while as a cabrio, the top speed is limited to “only” 360 km/h.
If you chose to ride in it as a convertible, the solid roof must be left at home, but if rain starts, a soft-top is also available but it limits the supercar’s top speed to 130 km/h.
The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is priced at 1.4 million euros and as we said before only 150 units have been made and the automaker managed to sell only 42 of them.
