Holden Monaro became the fastest car in the world

Have you ever dreamed of owning the fastest car in the world? Meet the replica Bugatti Veyron made from Holden Monaro.

An American has replicated the world's fastest car, a Bugatti Veyron, from a 2004 Holden Monaro - and he wants someone to pay $115,000 so he can finish building it.

A car restorer in Florida advertised a homemade model on eBay, an online auction site.

The backyard plastic-bodied build is based on the 2004 Pontiac GTO, which is the American version of the Holden Monaro.

In 2004 and 2005, Holden shipped 31,500 Monaros in the US as Pontiac GTOs, more than double the number of Monaros sold locally in four years.

At least one of them is trying to come back to life as a fake Bugatti Veyron.

A real Bugatti Veyron is powered by a massive 1001-horsepower 8.0-liter W16 engine with four turbochargers, has a top speed of 431 km/h and costs more than 1 million euros plus taxes. In total, about 400 pieces were built.

The "Bugatti Veyron" listed for sale on eBay is a Pontiac GTO (nee Holden Monaro) that has traveled 136,000 km (85,000 miles) and is powered by a comparatively weak 5.7-liter V8 engine with about a quarter of the power.

The seller says it is a "high quality replica" and is basically "whole and functional".

However, the photos show that the car is not complete and far from ready for the road, and the airbags appear to be disabled.

Any Australian enthusiast should know that, as with the real Bugatti Veyron, this replica cannot be registered in Australia as it is left hand drive.
