This is a '16 Bugatti Chiron. Designed by Achim Anscheidt, Frank Heyl, Sasha Selipanov and Etienne Salome, the Chiron is a mid-engined all-wheel drive extremely-high performance sports car produced by Bugatti since 2016. Named for Monacan racing driver Louis Chiron and sharing its name with a concept car from 1999, the Chiron is powered by an 8.0L quad-turbocharged W16 producing 1479 BHP. Prices started at €2.4m, with a €200k deposit required to be placed before the car could be ordered.
In addition to its extremely high power output, the car is also known for its extremely high top speed, with a prototype version of an enhanced version of the Chiron hitting 490.48 km/h (304.77 mph) on 2 August 2019; this was the first car to break the 300 mph barrier. The actual car's top speed has not been tested (speedometer goes up to 500), although it has a limited top speed of about 420 km/h (261 mph); the car's top speed can be achieved by the removal of a special key which acts as the limiter. Regardless with the limiter on the car is very capable of hitting its top speed. 500 are slated to be produced in total; 300 have been produced so far.
Now this casting was designed by the late Ryu Asada and introduced in 2019 in the HW Exotics line of the mainline. This casting has seen six known releases, the last being in the Exotic Envy series in the Car Culture lineup in a distinctive two-tone black and French Racing Blue paintscheme.
A curiosity: the rear panels and the engines are part of the window piece.
