Fugatti Vincero


Continuing my theme of "money can't buy good taste", I present the Bugatti Vincero, by Mansory (itself no stranger to fug excess). Another example of taking a stock car many consider fugly in it's own right and kicking it up a notch. The exterior is pretty tame, ignoring the extra LED lighting, polished carbon fibre and semi-chrome finish. Where it really shines (pun intended) is in the interior, which uses string lighting that wouldn't look out of place lining the patio of a seedy restaurant. And is that albino crocodile skin on the seats?

ASMA SLR (Super Lame Reskin?)



ASMA continues it's theme of numerous and unnecessary scoop and louvers on the SLR, which in it's stock form many think has too many scoops and louvers. Finding 2 square inches of body in this car free from slashes is pretty much the automotive equivalent of "Where's Waldo". If it wasn't garish enough, it's finished in shiny carbon fibre. Almost makes ASMA's previous work look pedestrian by comparison.
