crispy Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 While one hasn't been done, (shameful, I know) there is a very nice 1/24 slot car out. The best thing you could do if you needed this in your collection is to pick that up. I too would love to see this as well as other super cars come out. The attention getter would be Ferrari. Almost all new vehicles they build, a model manufacture is there, willing to create it in 1/24 scale. Look at how long it took to get a new modern Aston Martin and Mercedes. I will say this, if a model company could step out and do just one new super-car, it would have to be the McLaren F1 to which all super-cars to this day are measured against. Leaving this out in scale is just mind boggling to me. I would even rate this over the Bugatti, which was also measured against the McLaren. I have a nice list of modern era super cars I would love to see done, but I suspect, licensing and what not hold these items up.

Foxer Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 This got me looking and it looks like Autoart make them in multiple scales: 1/24 http://slotcarnews.blogspot.com/2007/03/124-autoart-bugatti-chiron.html 1/12 http://www.autoartmodels.com/web/product/en/1422?antiCache=12776022214239149BD1A2004452B71A666446608491D plus.. 1/18, 1/32, 1/43 and not to be left out, 1/64!

niteowl7710 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Can't be THAT much, there is that new Revell (via RoG) Audi R8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 The simple fact is the VW Group wants too much for licensing. I doubt this simple fact, since another simple fact is that VW Group doesn't even charge licensing fees from model companies, ask the licensing lawyers at Auto Art and Minichamps if you don't believe me. The plethora of Bugatti Veyron and all other VAG models out and about confirm this. No, this is a failure of the kit manufactureres and nothing else. Bugattis are available as diecasts left, right, and center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugattis are available as diecasts left, right, and center. They're available as VERY EXPENSIVE diecasts from AutoArt at well over $100, with no participation by the lower-priced diecast companies, with a couple of 1:43 issues. How come no other diecast companies make them like the easily accessible EB 110? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtS Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 I actually saw one of the AutoArt die casts, but it was priced at $160! I sure hope someone makes a plastic model, that's a bit expensive for my taste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elan Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) AMT and Revell would rather re-issue '32 Fords and Dukes of Hazzard kits, if we do get the new Bugatti, it will be from overseas. Edited October 25, 2010 by elan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugattis are available as diecasts left, right, and center. Trust me, it's largely licensing. We've looked into it. It is more expensive to license an Audi model than a Porsche or Ferrari and you are not going to get the sales numbers on an Audi kit as you would a Porsche or Ferrari. So you are just shooting yourself in the foot with a high license fee over fewer number of kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I see what you are getting at, the Models you mention are some of the best selling model kits ever, so you can't fault them for reissuing, and updating those kits. I would like to see the amreican model companies take a more world view in their subject matter, but at the same time I believe that there are still a lot of subject that are in thier comfort zone that would sell well too.

Junkman Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I actually saw one of the AutoArt die casts, but it was priced at $160! That's still cheaper than a real one. Lada, I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 It would be nice if Revell Germany did the Veyron Their Bugatti EB110 that they released back in the Nineties was a nice kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 If memory serves me right, the EB110 was initially an Italeri development, which came into the Revell AG fundus via the buyout in the late nineties. Italeri had also announced a kit of the EB112 four door, and it was included in their catalog. It never went into production and thus joined the long list of 'ghost kits'.

caapa Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 There is a diecast Bugatti Veyron 1:24 made by Speedy in China since about a year. It is rather cheaper as the mentioned 160 USD and available on Ebay at 1- 2 Seller. The model is nice, the quality is about Maisto but a bit expensiver.

CadillacPat Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 HotWheels has made a 1/64 version for years, Here's one I made as part of a 3 car set, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Junkman, The Revell EB110 kit style looks too complex to have been of Italeri origin. As far as I am aware only 2 mainstream plastic kit manufacturers issued EB110 kits. Revell and Heller (The Heller one was also marketed under the Airfix banner) Edited April 11, 2013 by Bugatti Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my name is nobody Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hot Wheels makes one in 1/64 scale. and it cost less than a buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Siku also do diecasts of the Veyron and the Grand Sport for about £4 each, in 1:55 scale, so the licensing can't be a killer... bestest, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caapa Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I modified a SIKU Bugatti Veyron 1:55 to the one-off Bugatti Veyron l`Or Blanc. Enjoy the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
