Did you think the Porsche Turbo with the camouflage paint job was strange? Then try this on for size. Japanese streetwear brand Bathing Ape (think Fubu or Marc Ecko from the land of the rising sun) seems to have a knack for taking the most expensive, exclusive high-end automobiles on the market and giving them a "different" paint job.
This repainted Veyron at least remains faithful to Bugatti's two-tone rule: the side panels get a rather unique pink and purple camo job, while the hood and rear panels are in solid Pepto pink. Just as well, 'cause you'll probably need a bottle of Pepto after seeing this, anyway.
Glutton for punishment? There's an almost as revolting image of a camouflaged Rolls Royce Phantom after the jump. Don't think the camouflage will keep it hidden with all that blingin' chrome, though.

It's not like they could have possibly made that thing any more ugly.
Now it's just as ugly but in a different way.

I like the Bugatti

It's an old saying, but it still remains true: money can't buy good taste.

Come on guys, don't stress. It's just a marketing ploy. The companies that do this kind of thing get an incredible amount of FREE exposure all over the world. Including here. So just relax, and if you don't like it, DON'T BUY their products. Vote with your feet.

Please... shoot.. them....... now...

It's not paint, it's just a vinyl wrap. Crazy that such a relatively cheap modification can get BAPE so much publicity.

Criminal. Absolutely criminal.

It’s not enough they have feminized public education, now Bugatti too.
Jon @ Oct 29th 2006 8:55PM
OK.They just ruined Bugattis for me.That really popped the Bugatti bubble.

"....pink and purple CAMO..."
I give up, where on this planet can ANYTHING be painted pink and purple, and have it be used as a camoflage(sp?)? This would stand out big time at a Mary Kay convention.

Just sick and wrong.

This should be a crime
...punishable by death.

Bad, but, if you are going to ruin a car for publicity, ruin a nice one. Are you listening Mark Echo? And it isn’t like either of these cars weren’t designed to blend in, so why not make them stand out more. I love it.
If you don't, buy it used (and im going to bet cheap), respray it, and enjoy.

OMG!!! That's, like, sooooo kewl! I wonder if I ask my daddy enough if he'll get me one or two?
