Well done, 1 point for you.
Here are other pics:

Post by: TheItalianJunkyard on November 09, 2009, 03:32:11 AM: It's a full size model, complete with the interior, but no mechanics (engine, transmissions, suspensions, working brakes etc).
I think these images are renderings/photoshops though.

I'm pretty sure that these are 'real' pics.

What I meant is that even if the car is real, and so the images of the car, the whole composition looks artificial, the background and the car just don't cut it together, so my point was that maybe the image of the car was photoshopped on top of that background. Given these shots are original, they would be pretty good and large being so old too.

Then I could be wrong, I'm just guessing.

The article explains that the car is complete, interior and exterior, and only the engine is missing.
In 1999 Hartmut Warkuss met de' Silva at Geneve, and told him Ferdinand Piech want a new proposal on a Bugatti coupe.
De' Silva took the challenge against Warkuss himself (who designed the Veyron) and Giugiaro (Chiron).
In the first pic there is a yellow and white truck mirrored on the surface!

I didn't say it was an image entirely made with PS, but that the background and the car came from two different shots.
The PS feeling is very common on many Quattroruote articles, in my opinion. It may even be the way they process the images for the magazine.

Real images, photshopped ones, or even renderings, it doesn't change the nature of the car.
