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.

This is an '05 Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4. Designed by Jozef Kabaลˆ, Hartmut WarkuรŸ and Frank Gรถtzke, the Veyron was Bugatti's first product in ten years since the discontinuation of the EB 110. Intended to speed past the competition, the Veyron, named for French racing driver Pierre Veyron, is fitted with an 8.0L Volkswagen V16; for good measure, four turbochargers are added, bringing the output of the Veyron to 1001 BHP.

With a 7-speed Ricardo dual clutch direct shift transmission, the Veyron has broken numerous records since its production and has won many plaudits from all over. Deemed "Car of the Decade" by British motoring magazine Top Gear, the Veyron is sure to continue stunning people with its appearance and speed of 253 mph (407 km/h). Future versions of the Veyron would tune the engine to more extreme levels, outputting over 1200 BHP in some cases; a version of the Veyron, the Veyron Super Sport, currently holds the record of fastest production car as certified by Guinness, with a top speed of 267.856 mph (431.072 km/h). Hot Wheels puts it bluntly: it seems that the only thing this supercar can't do... is lose. 450 were produced from 2005 to 2014, with 252 being EB 16.4 models; it was succeeded by the Chiron in 2016.

Now this casting was designed by Mark Jones and introduced in 2003 as a New Model, representing the earlier concept version of the car. That version saw nine releases, the last being the coveted Speed Machines version in 2010. Eleven years later, the casting was retooled to better represent the production car, of which this is the only release as of now. Veyrons are notorious for not being cheap to acquire.
