LEW took the expeditious path and used a Bentley Continental GT as a starting point and slapped on some Bugatti styling cues. The Big Bang, unveiled at the Essen Motor Show, has the Bug look with its iconic Bugatti horseshoe grille and Audi Q7 headlights that mimic the Veyron look. Carbon fiber panels are used around the Conti to reduce weight a bit, as well as make some subtle styling changes.

The rear, in particular, looks pretty different, resembling Ferrari's 456 more than anything else. It also features a revised rear valance and undertray that should help high speed airflow management. Although the sight of the Bug mug is a little odd at first, the whole thing looks pretty good and it should actually handle a little better thanks to its lower weight.

Taking the already ridiculously powerful twin-turbo W-12 and cranking it up a notch, the LEW crew has managed to find an extra 100 hp bringing the total to 650 or so. LEW modifies the suspension with the help of Eibach and adds carbon-ceramic brakes to complete the package. Top speed should rise to 330 km/h (205 mph), and 0-60 should drop a few tenths. Prices should start at approximately 270,000 euro.

I can totally see why they called this the "Big Bang"... looks like there was a three-way between a Bentley GT, a Bugatti Veyron, and a Ferrari 456; If that doesn't qualify as a "Big Bang", what else does?

 

Why would anyone want to make a Bentley look like a Veyron anyway?

SMALL BANG :-)

 

Thats a VW not a Bentley

 

 

That's a Bentley, not a Veyron. My point exactly. You can make a Phaeton look a little like a Bentley too. No one is fooled.

 

I surprised that Hublot doesn't have a problem with them using the name "Big Bang".

 

That's a bastard child if ever there was...

Please tell me this is a photochop

 

What would you say if it was real?

 

I would laugh like this.

 

The headlight areas look a bit Audi A8, no?

And the wheels look a bit Merc SLR

 

LOL thats a gangbang , I think this modified BGT looks stupid anyways thanks for sharing.

 

God I love those SLR looking wheels.


Saw a pair on a CL65... damn

 

I think it looks great, if i had the money i would defenatly buy one
