LEW Design Makes Bugatti from Bentley

Looks like A6 headlamps and signal lamps..?

"If you can’t want a few more years for the rumoured Bugatti sedan, LEW Design of Germany will build the next best thing – out of a Bentley Continental GT. The LEW “Big Bang” (silly name, that) gains a front design with the famous Bugatti grille, Touareg-esque headlights, and large 21” Aero-X style rims. Changes to some of the body panels were also made to lighten the car, with carbon fibre being used extensively.

The rear reminds us of the Ferrari 599 and even comes with same underbody venturi ducts that help improve downforce. That’s important because they’ve also increased the power. The big four-seater now develops 650hp and 750Nm of twist. Though no 0-100km/h times were listed, we expect it to be very close to the 4s mark. A new suspension kit and carbon-ceramic brakes round out the performance upgrades."

Just wanted to post this...To me it looks pretty bad, especially front. And Cristian is right - who will buy this? I really don't understand moves like this, shouldn't you see the reactions of car market and then decide wheter to make the car or not!

In my opinion the headlamps are from the Q7!!

Centurion · 12-15-2006, 01:02 PM

Q7 head lights.

There's something hilarious about the idea of a Bentley owner having such penis envy that they'd mutilate their car to look like a Bugatti, despite the fact that it's a hopeless persuit. The whole idea is so far off the retarded scale that it could make one faint just thinking about it.

I predict LEW Design will book precisely zero of these.
