    Bugatti Veyron 16.4 (Production Version) in Pearl and Ice Blue (1:12 scale) - The idea was to design a sportscar which would explore the limits of the technically possible and which would, in every respect, be committed to the extreme. The idea was to design a car which would uncompromisingly unite the passion of the designer, the skill of the engineer, absolute luxury and racing technology. The idea was to interpret the car as a work of art. The idea was to build a Bugatti. The Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron was named after the last man to win the Le Mans 24-hour race in a Bugatti, Pierre Veyron. Bugatti wanted to build a street car that would have the world"s most powerful engine with possibly a 4-digit horse power figure and be the world"s fastest car at over 400 km/h. The result is a sleek, exciting sports car promising enormous power from an all-aluminum 7993 cc W 16 engine mounted longitudinally ahead of the rear axle on a separate aluminum subframe and running four KKK turbo-chargers producing 987 bhp at 6000 rpm. The top speed is estimated to be 252 mph (406 km/h), although owners wanting to test this for themselves will have to contact the factory who will dispatch a mechanic to check the car over, fit high-speed tyres and remove the electronic speed limiter especially for the purpose. Zero to 186 mph should take just fourteen seconds. The Veyron"s 7-speed sequential gearbox is unique in that it boasts a dual clutch transmission whereby one clutch controls gears one, three, five and seven whilst the other controls gears two, four and six, the result being a constant surge of power when accelerating. Special run-flat capability Michelin PAX tyres in 265 front and 365 rear, the largest tyre sizes ever fitted to a production car, are mounted on 20.5> (520mm) diameter 12-spoke wheels. This model is made up of 518 separate metal and plastic parts, including photo-etched plates, metal wiring, screws and nuts. Features: - Chrome-plated front grille, engine part, door handle and exhaust pipe ends - Photo-etched metal grilles on all air inlets and outlets - Realistic painted body shell color - The fuel filler cap, wheels and front light housing are chrome-plated and then painted with a matt silver coating - Working rear spoiler and support struts - Detachable engine cover - The engine and relevant piping system are replicated in highly detailed - Retractable fuel filler cap - Silver hot stamping has been used to produce the lettering on the engine block - Fully decorated interior.
