We hate to be the bearers of bad news for some, but if you happened to see these “exclusive” pictures of the “next generation Bugatti Veyron” over at Carbuzz, as Carscoops reader Kostik M. did and told us about it in an email, we feel the need to inform you that they’re not real.

The blog noted in its piece that, “these exclusive images sent to us by a source close to the French carmaker gives us a first look at what Bugatti has in store for the next-generation Veyron. Whether these come direct from Bugatti’s drawing table or are an interpretation based on information the tipster has gleaned is unclear.”

Well, in a twisted way, they do come directly from “Bugatti’s drawing table” as they are poorly made, most likely amateur, photoshops of official press photos of the Veyron. Not that you need to be a professional to see all the photoshop warning signs on the pictures, but for anyone who insists, we’ve added both the official and re-made images below.

As for the alternative tipster theory, we’ll leave you to be the judge of that.
