Hot Wheels '16 Bugatti Chiron Factory Fresh Series 7/10 2020 short card

Product Information

My biggest worry was the proportions would be messed up (like the Veyron) but I’m happy to see that is not the case. Mattel has the Bugatti license, Matchbox NEEDS to do a hypercar, the Veyron is old enough… it all adds up.

So it is awesome to see the Chiron unveiled this way, by the right people, not only complete, but shot beautifully by Designer Ryu Asada for the Dream Team account.I’m a sucker for a good toy car photo, so of course I asked him for more images, and he provided, and is letting me share them here.

And boy, sitting is side-by-side with the Veyron just emphasizes that much more how off the Veyron really was. It just isn’t cool to see something unveiled in an incomplete or incorrect form, after all that work. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Things have indeed got better and easier nowadays but then if Hot Wheels could get other cars right at that time (Ferrari F50, Enzo, Lamborghini Murcielago, Ford GT90, Lotus Esprit, Jaguar XJ220, Porsche GT1 etc) then why did the Veyron end up so bad? They experimented with ways to make it two-tone, but that couldn’t be done in basic, but maybe we will see a two-tone version in premium some day. Which is why the proportions on some licence cars are sometimes skewed so that it can fit inside a garage set or make the car easy play with.
