I was of the impression that both the SLR and the Veyron are built only in LHD. So even if there were a couple of them in India, they would be illegal. Highly unlikely that anyone would spend that much money on an illegal car....

Saw a yellow color car on Mallya road.Not sure which one it is,quite old one,looks like a racing car.its very short,even maruti 800 will look taller than that

not really f450 they can have conversion to RHD, but that will come at a big price.

You mean Bugatti or Mercedes will make a RHD for an extra price? Or do you have to get it converted by an outsider mechanic?

I dont think bugatti or mercedes will do it, until unelse you are special customers ie. Rainbow Sheikh. For his wedding gift Mercedes stop their S Class production line to customise his cars.
All the H2 are LHD but they converted to RHD by private companies.

Dude, thats a crazy pic of the X5. More than the car, the situation seems to be chaotic! There is a BMW thundering down the road, and suddenly, there is a bike in front of it, trying to turn !

Isn't that a bit risky though? If I'm going to spend 12 crores on a Bugatti, I don't think I would want to risk mechanical problems by messing about under the bonnet...

Precisely the reason no 'known' case of a conversion of the SLR or the Veyron have been uncovered.

The GTR looks menacing, btw the guy on the R15 ought to be taught a lesson on helmet strap and usage.
