Vision GT

This is a very unusual Bugatti. Similar to quite a few other supercar brands, Bugatti developed the Vision GT exclusively for the Vision Gran Tourismo game.


Getting my hands on a model of the Vision GT for the collection came with some hurdles .... First of all, a diecast 1:24 model is listed on several Chinese web-sites, and I took the gamble with DHgate, for £16.82 (plus p&p). 


But when it arrived, despite being listed as a 1:24 model, it was considerable smaller than my other modern Bugatti models, and, annoyingly, it had BUGATL on the windscreen ...

Keeping my eyes open for a replacement, I stumbled across a listing on eBay of a plastic RC Vision GT, scale 1:26, without the controller. Scale of 1:26 is very close to 1:24, so I took the gamble; it only cost just over a fiver, plus p&p.

Here it is, with BUGATTI on the windscreen!



So which model would you have in the collection? One which is (almost) the right size, has BUGATTI on the windscreen, but is all-plastic? Or a diecast one, significantly smaller, and with BUGATL on the windscreen?


No prizes for guessing which one is in the collection under #11 ...



Despite it being a car created for a video game, one life-size car was built, and, of course, Supercar Blondie was given access to it ...
