While Veyron and Chiron indeed have eye-watering performance, i can't help but notice that most of these cars are driven at cruise speeds between the Ritz, the yacht club and the cafe... on the thin, cobblestone streets of Monaco and Paris. I don't think a whole lot of the owners take them to Nürburgring for a few laps. That being said it's nice to know that you can.

As far as the interior goes, i don't think it's impracticable to make a very close copy. Naturally, the higher the R&D cost put into a replica like this the more close you'd get. However the practice shows that my wish is bordering on pipe dream. The kit car business never picked up like the rep clothes/accessories business and it probably never will. There have been several lawsuits filed against some of the more recognizable manufacturers of replica car kits, you can't make it in an abandonded warehouse in China like watches...

Since we're talking cheap Bugattis, a 2008 Veyron with a salvage title sold for $277k in 2014. I don't normally consider a quarter-million dollar car with some expensive damage a great deal but in this case, check for yourself
