Sometimes the passion for creating automobiles meets the passion for making auto models. It’s what I felt when I’ve opened for the first time the Bugatti Chiron’s box. The elegant box in french blue, branded with stickers having the Bugatti logo, make you think that you have just received something very special, elegant and dedicated only to a person who enters in a Bugatti dealer office to choose his next car. And that’s it, you are receiving a special model of a special concept car where, in both situations the creators put all of their knowledge and passion. Covered in a perfectly applied blue shade, seem that the paint follows all the lines of the body. The look is extraordinary!
The space between functional parts and the body are minimal, the chrome is the best I ever seen and appears to me more like a mirror. Looking at the Bugatti’s trademark, the horseshoe shaped front grill make me think that a couple of hours were needed to finish such work. The mesh is perforated and very delicate and is completed by the thin chromed frame. The lights are superbly done, even the LED segment is replicated. If you follow the „V” shape of the huge bonnet you will arrive on the rear side where the Bugatti’s logo sits near the austere W18 engine- the three valve covers emblazoned with the famous initials EB. The carbon panel beside, looks very good and the carbon replica is perfectly scaled. The Chiron signature logo is replicated by a metallic photo-etched sticker. The model has french license plates, correctly done. The rims have a simple design, clean and put in scale looks amazing. On the same way the disk brakes are covered in a metallic coat and are dimpled to fake crossed drill. In general this is a very realistic view, making you think that you are in the front of the real car, not of a scaled model.
Opening the doors carefully, the show goes on. The rich blue carpet comes in perfect contrast with the chromed central console and indicator's panel. All the chrome parts reminds about the racing Bugatti cars from the 30’s. I like the chromed surface and carbon replica from the doors entry.The buttons are present on the central console and the indicators are easy to read. Everything here inspires me high-tech.
The front bonnet is functional having even 2 fine struts to keep it open. The light brown leather textured plastic comes in contact with the beautiful blue carpet. Is a good symphony of colours and make you to pass over the partial unpainted hinges. Nothing can be seen undercarriage, only the badge with the limited edition number. The suspension is functional and the tires replicate the Michelin prototype tires specially made for this Bugatti concept.
Nothing more to say, this is the best AutoArt I ever kept in my hands at the date when I publish this article. And this model was released few years ago. They put a lot of effort here and the result in fantastic. I rather preferred that Chiron come in production instead of the Veyron.
