That's interesting. I had no idea that it actually moved under its own power. I figured it was just a model.
Makes me wonder what's underneath. Leftover Veyron development parts? Some Gallardo or R8 that was scheduled to be scrapped? I'd really like to see how they built that thing, and if it could do more than drive between a truck and a turn table.

I figured the model was the original veyron with aero pieces on it.

Rumor is VW loses a HUGE amount of money on each Veyron. The whole thing was basically a vanity project for VW CEO Ferdinand Piëch. Even the factory development cars cost VW a truckload of money to build. I don't think they'd waste one for a video game concept car.
I'll bet that's part of why there's no construction photos of it. My money says there's Gallardo or R8 bones under there.

Another drift vid from my sons team. He is in the silver coupe with the camera stick out the window and the one changing his tire with the black hair and beard
There's a couple of really quick shots of the car being put together, but nothing substantial. The only thing I can tell is that the rear brakes are in the same position as the Veyron, but it's missing the electronic parking brake.
With all the carbon fiber and work they put into this, I really have to wonder if it's a really early Chiron test chassis.
If there was a prize to give out you'd have just won it!
