We all know the Bugatti Veyron Vitesse as Drift from Transformers: Age Of Extinction. But this news isn’t about the fictional character. Apparently, a Transformers themed Veyron was spotted being shipped to Los Angeles.
GT Spirit stated:
“The entire front end is painted in two shades of light blue and features a subtle Autobot insignia stretching across it. The doors also feature the two-tone blue design while the lighter of the two blues then adorns the rear wheel arches, air intakes and rear decklid. Gloss black side skirts, rear bumper and the lower half of the front bumper are also present.
Inside, the Transformers theme continues with a prominent Autobot logo having pride of place between the two seats. The seats themselves are finished in bright blue and dark blue leather and include ‘Daniel’ stitched on the headrests which is presumably the owner’s name.”
Speaking of the owner’s name, it is also Transformers related. According to the headrest, the name is Daniel.
We’ve mirrored the images of the car with this news post.

Then maybe he's my uncle (also named Daniel and a rich/well-off Asian dude). Or not since Uncle Daniel just bought himself a shiny new Jaguar F-Type (AWD S-Edition). I told him that I'd as much as I'd like to race him in my Mustang, he'd smoke me easily in that thing (my ride's only a stock V6).
As neat as the Veyron is, I always thought the Nissan GT-R is a better match for Drift's design/personality. When will Bay get over his phobia of Japanese cars and give us a Bot (or Con) that has one for his (or her) alt mode in his movies, that I'd like to know!

No, but I'm sure he changed it, a lot of them do when they come to the states….

Nice. A little over the top for my tastes but I suppose it's not nearly as crazy as that one dude who custom painted his Maserati to look like Barricade. I'll bet the Bugatti guys were all sorts of SMH at the custom paint job order (but when you're that wealthy and can afford what you want, you'll probably won't care too much about who disapproves of what you do with your money and their car brand).
I don't think "Daniel" is too common a name in mainland China.

HOW RICH ARE YOU?
Can I have some of that sweet sweet money?

But really, a figure of this would be sweet, Hasbro, Takara, or TFCC. If a set can be made for the DOTM Camaro wrecking a police SUV, surely a toy for this would work…right?

Holy shit that's awesome.

Hahahahhahaha YES
Autoclot
I'm actually a little peeved over this article, since I asked for various Autobot details on my car (not quite to this extent), but the graphics designer guy at Bugatti visibly winced when I suggested replacing the EB logo between the seats with an Autobot logo, as if to say "you want to do WHAT to our car???"
The most I could get them to do was put a picture of Drift's sword on the manufacturing plate (although I used his Genrations great sword rather than his AoE katana).
And after posting this and sharing the thread with a friend, said friend produced this…
Exodus
I bet it's one of these "wealthy mainland Chinese" kids that owns it haha…

Gorgeous! I'll take one, thank you. I'll put it next to the two Lamborghinis (red and yellow, respectively), Porsche, Corvette Stingray (Silver and Green), Ferrari and Pagani that I like to dream that I own……you know, in my 5500 square foot underground garage that sits on my 10000 acres of land, where my 50000 square foot mansion sits next to my triple olympic sized in ground pool and 25 person hot tub.

This puts the Autobot edition Camaro to shame. Still a showoff, though.

Thats beautiful. I would love it if Drift adorned this deco in TF5.
QLRformer
Wow, I want Crosswise or Drift to be that beauty of an automobile.

Slow news day?
I dunno. It looks a bit OTT for me. I like the subtle designs, like Autoclot's. More car and less gaudy.
Porkulus
Nah, not jealous. I'd be jealous of a McLaren P1. Those are the bee's knees.
JaZzPrImE74
Are you kidding? Seems like your just jealous.

Now that is slick. Never been a fan of the Bugatti's small, toilet seat shaped grill though. That's the only thing I don't like about it. Nonetheless, this is still pretty bad ass.
Though I wonder if this may be inadvertantly spoiling things for the owner, "Daniel". If it's being shipped to him, then it might be a special order thing and he hasn't actually seen it yet.

I don't know, a car that costs anywhere between $1.5 to $2 million is still pretty special in my book. Wish I had the money to spend that much on a car.
