Fake Bugatti's

by Michael Satterfield

Everyone wants a supercar, but cars like the million dollars plus Bugatti Veyron are out of reach for most of us. For some people not having the cash to own a supercar won't stop them, they simply build there own. Now some replicas are impressive clones at first glance, but the vast majority of "replica" cars are more like these interesting homebuilt homages to the fastest car in the world.

Another eBay find, this one is built on a lowly Mercury Cougar.



This is the nicest rebody car you will find at this time and look as hard as you like but you will not find another one that looks even close to this one.   This car looks like a million dollars all day long. The paint job is base / clear, sanded and buffed to a show car shine. Ferrari red and black combo. The body is made of composite and fiberglass with a one inch tubular steel frame glassed into it.  This one inch tube frame is welded to the donor car which makes the entire thing solid as a rock!   This car is actually a 2002 mercury cougar two door sport coupe.  The car has a nice reliable 2.5 L V6 motor and Ice cold AC. Its easy to maintain and cost affordable. I feel these are some of the most important things for sure.  There are custom wheels and tires installed, 20 inch staggered.   This car drives very smooth with the 20 inch wheels.   I get so many questions asking how fast is the car.  My best reply is fast enough.  It is not a rocket ship, If you are a motor head you can install a larger motor, but I do not do that kind of work.  This car is a stock 2002 mercury cougar, Stock wheel base, Stock motor and automatic transmission, Stock power windows and locks, stock wiring, stock guages, stock AC controls under these nice fancy looking aluminum trim parts.   The seats are even modified stock cougar parts as well, Just everything has been recovered in a real leather, Leather seats, Leather headliner, Leather trim on the carpet, Leather Dash.  Another nice bonus about this car is the rear seating area, Not large by any means, however if you have a kid or two, they will enjoy riding around in this beast.    The rear seats fold down to expose a small storage area behind the seats.  There is also another storage area in the very rear of the car.   The  exhaust exits through the large single tip which produces a nice tone.   Check out the fit of the door windows to the body with the rubber molding, This factory look completes the package.   Call with any questions, Or email is good also.  Window shoppers please do not call and waste my time, Just enjoy the pictures and keep shopping!
