Chiron Super Sport 300+

The Chiron Super Sport 300+ is based on a special black-and-orange Chiron car that breached the 300mph barrier. Only 30 were made, all black-and-orange, and with a price tag of $3.9 million.

I am not aware of a diecast 1/24 model of a Super Sport, let alone a Super Sport 300+. But I did stumble across a 1/24 scale RC car, a fully plastic one, on eBay for just £14.99 ...

Now I hinted in my previous blog post that I might relax the 'diecast-only' rule if that would allow me to add further models to the collection. And I basically already created a precedent with my replacement GT Vision model ... 

So, without further ado, here is my Chiron Super Sport 300+ model!

Unlike most of the diecast models, nothing opens, though the lights flash if you put batteries in and drive it with the controller. Note that the Bugatti emblem on the grille has a black background, and not a red one, just like the actual car ...

A Chiron Super Sport was specifically on my wish list, so one model has now been ticked off that list; #21 in the collection!
