Winter in Russia

The average and minimum temperatures differ among Russian regions. Winter is most severe in hinterland Yakutia (where no major armed conflicts happened to date), with the lowest temperature about −65°C. In much wars-suffered European Russia (west of the Ural mountains), the average winter temperature is rarely below −15°C, but varies greatly: for example, temperatures in the winter of 2005/2006 fell to −20°C or −30°C inMoscow. In Russia this phenomenon is known as "Epiphany frosts" (крещенские морозы, Russian pronunciation: [krʲeˈɕɕenskʲije moˈrozɨ]), known for centuries for their low temperatures. But most recent winters in central Russia were unusually warm. New Year without snow in Moscow and temperatures up to 10°C in the middle of winter are no longer rare.^[1]
Nevertheless, one factor for temperature is the Continental climate. The other is the geography of Russia: it is as north as Canada, but with little open inland water to store the sun's energy. For example, in the Altai region in August, the temperature is above 20°C in daytime, but at night can fall as low as −5°C.

A Uniq Car (Exotic Car)

We know what you've been thinking: All the Bugatti Veyron needs is a little more flash. Are we good, or are we good? Anathematic as the thought might be to some, there are others on this planet who are always looking for another way to show off their wealth, instead of hiding it in offshore accounts. And for those flashy few, there is Mansory.

Along with such gaudy monstrosities as the Pepto-pink Bentley and the Polo Sport-on-acid Porsche Panamera, Mansory has modified the Veyron with the Linea Vincero range of accessories, including a full aero kit (in case the Volkswagen empire hadn't invested enough in getting the Veyron's aerodynamics just right) and highly polished carbon-fiber body panels that include copper threads interwoven into the material for even more flash. The Vincero d'Oro, unbelievably, upgrades with gold brightwork on the wheels, V-shaped grille, door handles, mirror housings, fuel filler cap, headlight washer nozzles, headlight surrounds and roof. Naturally, the interior has been subjected to the gilded treatment as well.

The good news is that Mansory has only created the one example. The bad news is that they'll gladly perform the same on any existing Veyron. It's at times like these we're glad we don't live in Dubai. Details in the press release after the jump, high-resolution images in the gallery below.
