Gold and carbon one-off Bugatti

Now that the recession is over we'll all be buying gold and carbon Veyrons, right?

Mansory, better known for motor show abominations, has announced a special one-off version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, the Linea Vincero d'Oro.

As the 'Oro' part of the name suggests, the car uses gold-coloured alloy to distinguish it from Mansory's standard Veyron Linea Vincero accessory range.  Modified parts include a redesigned front end featuring LED running lights and a stylised 'V' in the radiator grille - for Vincero.  There are also new side skirts and larger side and rear air outlets for improved cooling.  The design is finished off with a restyled rear diffuser.

The panels are made from carbon fibre with copper thread as part of the weave to give it a metallic sheen.  Other parts are picked out in gold including the alloy wheels, radiator surround, door handles, fuel filler cap and even the headlamp washer nozzles.

More gold has been liberally applied to the interior.  There are also LEDs in the seats and door trims, providing 'mood lighting' for the cabin.

The Vincero name comes from the aria Nessun Dorma and means 'I will win'.
