Top Gear's 'Car Of The Decade'

The Bugatti Veyron by Minichamps.

This is a 1:43 diecast model of the blue and white Bugatti Veyron which Top Gear labelled "The Car of the Decade".

Jeremy Clarkson declared the Veyron "the greatest piece of engineering ever. No, I'm sorry, this is the greatest car ever made and the greatest car we will ever see in our lifetime."

James May proclaimed that the Veyron is "our Concorde moment".

In order to review the car, Top Gear set up the Truffle Challenge.  Clarkson drove from Alba, northern Italy to London whilst racing Captain Slow and the Hamster who were travelled in a Cessna 182 plane.  During the race Clarkson attempted to get an insurance quote on the car but the company he tried did not know what the car was.

Having seen the Truffle challenge the RAF challenged Top Gear to a race.  Richard Hammond took up the gauntlet set by the RAF to race a Eurofighter Typhoon over a straight one mile and return journey.

James May drove the Veyron when he went to the VW test track in Germany and took it to its top speed of 253 mph.

Richard Hammond not only raced an RAF Eurofighter Typhoon he also pitted the Veyron against the McLaren F1 driven by The Stig in a one mile drag race in Abu Dhabi, commenting on the pinnacle of Bugatti's "amazing technical achievement" versus the "non gizmo" racing purity of the F1. While the F1 was quicker off the line and remained ahead until both cars were going roughly 200 kilometers per hour, the Bugatti then overtook its competitor during the climb from 200 to 300 km/h and emerged the victor.  Hammond has stated that he did not use the Veyron's launch control in order to make the race more interesting.

The Veyron also won the award for "Car of the Decade" in Top Gear's end of 2009 award show.

The Minichamps model comes with flip-lid box gift packaging.

Every performance road car that comes to the Top Gear test track eventually ends up in the hands of our tame racing driver, the Stig.  The Stig's job is to find out just how fast the car actually is.  The resulting lap time is then immortalised on the leader board.

Top Gear Amphibious Car Challenge

by Oxford Diecast Ltd

The amphibious cars made a return as the team are challenged drive from Sidcup to Dover, and then across the English Channel.  Clarkson, the Hamster and Captain Slow head over the water to France.

Relive the fun, excitement and downright audacity of one of Top Gear's most daring challenges in the relative safety of your own bath! No don't do that they'll almost certainly sink and get ruined.  And then you would have to buy them all again!

No batteries required, just a little imagination and an unbridled sense of the ridiculous.
