Puzzle Description:

...Degree. This is a Bugatti Veyron. It is named for Pierre Veyron who was a Grand Prix motor racing driver active from 1933 through until 1953. He had enrolled at a university to study engineering but left when he was convinced to take up racing by a friend.

I did this one at the request of Aldege in comments for Puzzle #16194.

Here are some "hints": If you just use the hint/solver you are in for a rather painful solve. The most gratifying way to solve it that I found was to line-logic the bottom row and build up from the bottom (and right) and you will naturally hit the perimeter and then fill left to right. Internal edge logic at the end.

fantastic image and a fun solve too
agreed on the logic (specifically, edge logic on the 3 clue in r16 at the end is what i used)

Excellent,bravo,and great choice of cars to make David.Very recognizable if you know these cars,which i do.I love the angle.Great car.I have to ask you,did you have fun making it.I really enjoy making cars.:)

Thanks you two.

I did have fun making it. The tricky part was picking a car that would be recognizable at that level of detail. I had a few other cars in mind that I like better but would have been difficult to distinguish.

Very nice. I did guess once right at the end.

#1 I started with completely placing the 14 in the last row using EL. Quite straightforward line & color logic solved the rest of the puzzle from there.
