The Bugatti Veyron was meant to be the world's most exclusive car. But the problem with any luxury item that costs 1 million (rs 6.6 crore approx) without the optional extras is that only the select few can afford them, and they know each other. So the moneyed few face arriving at parties in the same automotive dress, and at least one might have to park his Veyron out back. In that rare recession-proof stratosphere occupied by oil barons, movers and sheikhs, that just won't do. For just three of them, the Mansory Vincero could be the ultimate answer.

Weighing in at a sphincter-tightening 1.7 million (rs 11.35 crore approx), this might just be the best way for the super rich to show their friends just who's the boss Khourosh Mansory made his name with loud and proud interpretations of Aston Martins, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, with customers including Middle Eastern princes, the European A-list and Sylvester stallone alike. Recently he branched out from the English brands with the Ferrari 599. but there was still the forbidden fruit, the one car no tuning house dared go near. In the end, temptation proved too much when his importer in DUbai commissioned three special cars and the Veyron game was on.

And though the car took pride of place on the stand at Geneva, arriving to drive this apex predator and seeing it standing in the corner - that was a whole new proposition. with the wing in the raised position, the daytime running lights in full effect and the light bouncing off the liquid metal paintwork and naked carbon-fibre, the Vincero looks the epitome of pure evil and the rounded, bulbous looks of the original somehow fades into the memory.

But being handed the distinctly vw shaped key to such an expensive set of wheels at the factory in Brand in Germany, well, that wasn't the rush you'd think, especially after running through the cost of the dark chrome paint and each of the panels. It was terrifying Then it sinks in. To drive this car hard, you'd need enough in the bank to buy a plane on impulse. Having been handed an automotive Mona Lisa, albeit started with that distinctly vw-shaped key, I trickle out of the gate as if I'm carrying a nuclear warhead. For the first few miles the price of the car hangs large over my head and the power meter tells the story of how weak and feeble I truly am, as it fails to break 50 of the 1109 bhp on offer.
