Park perfectly or else...
The porcelain supercar looks beyond futuristic.
MOTORING NEWS - It must require nerves of steel to drive a R20.5-million one-off porcelain supercar through Paris' notoriously congested streets, let alone parallel park it.

The super wealthy owner of this Bugatti Veyron L'Or Blanc - or White Gold - must have breathed a sigh of relief when it arrived at the hotel unscathed.

This unique edition of the 400km/h car with a promised 735kW was created in conjunction with a firm that usually makes teapots. It had never been seen on the road in Europe.

The car is the world's first car to 'wear the finest porcelain on its body'. When it arrived at the Plaza Athenee Hotel in Paris, it soon drew a crowd of onlookers. When rumours started circling it had popped up in Paris, the 'car-parazzi' packed their tripods before heading for France and fans from England, France, Holland and Germany also arrived to see for themselves.

Never mind the parking - the question is: would one drive it at top speed knowing the crumple zones are somewhat brittle?
