Here's How Fantastically Detailed A $15k Bugatti Veyron Model Is

If you pay $15,000 for a model car, what are you getting for your cash? Watch this video to find out...

Unsurprisingly, spending $15,000 on a model car buys you quite a lot of detail. In the case of this five-figure, one-eighth-scale Amalgam Bugatti Veyron Vitesse, you get a working airbrake, LED lights and indicators, an illuminated interior and much more besides.

Each one is built by hand, taking over 300 hours to make. Amalgam even has the proper CAD data supplied by Bugatti, to ensure its models are as accurate as possible. In other words, it’s the sort of thing you want to display where your cat/child can’t knock it on the floor…

$15000. Jeez, I could buy a car with that.

Oh wait, $15000 in SGD doesn’t get you anything(ish).

RIP.

Wouldn’t that mean it has a 1-litre W2 engine?

What would make it even more awesome (and expensive) is a 1/8 scale working model of the engine and transmission (at least the engine)
Btw. They do exist, but inside that model would be la crème de la crème

When a title announces “A Fantastically Detailed Model” then at list an adequate quality filming is necessary to see all the cool details, except it is presented by the worst video along with absolutely inappropriate soundtrack. Excellent model, horrible video.
