A fine replica for passionate collectors.
Bugatti literally transformed the hypercar market with the introduction and success of the Chiron earlier this year. The French marque plans to make 500 units of this vehicle. This makes it a less exclusive car than the Veyron, which was limited to 450 copies.
According to Bugatti, the Chiron is still available for purchase. Currently, around 200 buyers have placed deposits of $250,000. However, the Chiron’s starting price of $2.61million could make it difficult to pass up this offer.
Here’s the solution. Amalgam Collection offers the perfect 1:18 scale model of Chiron. It has been created using original CAD data provided by Bugatti. Both the engineering and design teams have been rigorously scrutinized to ensure accuracy. We dare say it looks almost as stunning as the real Chiron. It’s also on display at Bugatti’s new dealership in Berkley Square, Mayfair, London.
The scale model measures 22.36 inches (568 mm) in length, which is roughly equal to the size of the actual car’s Michelin tires. It costs only $10,431, which is three times the cost of a set for the Chiron’s predecessor.
It can be considered an investment. As the super-exclusive cars have become more popular as investment, a limited-scale model could also see its price rise with time. We are certain that this one will.
There’s another option. The 1:12 Chiron, which costs $1,636, is more affordable and offers a fine collector’s model that you can give to your son. Please wait until he turns 40.
The real Chiron made its U.S. debut recently at The Quail in California. This is a significant step for the company considering that over 30 percent of pre-orders have come from U.S. buyers.
What’s the next big thing for Chiron? The Molsheim-based company will try to beat the current record of the highest production car speed (268 mph/431 km/h) which is currently held by the Veyron SuperSport.
