The Bathing Ape Bugatti

— September 11, 2008 — Autos
Tomoaki “Nigo” Nagao has made millions from his Bathing Ape clothing company--more than enough to wrap this Bugatti Veyron to promote his line.

The Bugatti Veyron has over 1,000 horsepower, so it’s a fitting car to be vinyl wrapped for the man whose ‘Bape’ clothing has become ubiquitous among the rap, celebrity, and streetwear worlds.

A Rolls Royce Phantom was also given the camouflage effect by the company, and is almost as bad as the pink Bugatti.
