Swede buys Bugatti Chiron replica made from scrap metal in Thailand

by Mette Larsen

 

 

A Swedish national has just purchased a Bugatti Chiron built entirely by hand using only scrap metals from Scrap Metal Art Thailand.

 

Scrap Metal Art Thailand is located about two hours east of Bangkok and CB Media recently had the opportunity to check out the facility and was blown away by what they found. The facility houses a collection of extraordinary art pieces made from scrap metal, including life-size transformers that stand upwards of 30-feet tall.

I wonder how much the import duty will be in Sweden when he gets the car.         Does Sweden just allow for any car to be imported and registered without safety inspections?

Are these owned by the Provincial Electricity Authority? Why are they so tall. Oil cooling?

Those replicas can't drive so they are not cars as such but more like a piece of art, they are for show only, so you need a big garden or something like that.

I recall there was another Thai company that made replicas that could actually drive, so you choose which car you like and also engine size fitted. That company made cars for Hollywood, no need to smash a real Lamborghini up in a movie but just a copy at 1/10 of the price.

Good work, at least with the standard of driving here they will never run out of scrap, this could prove to be a great export opportunity. Mind you I have seen some pick-ups driven here that seem to be made of scrap already though.
