Chinese Bugatti Chiron which costs 31,999 yuan

How could the Chinese not copy the Bugatti Chiron! The car in the images is a very curious scale replica of the French hyper sports car, called Shandong P8, which is a small electric car that costs very cheap. We are talking about 31,999 yuan.

Logically, the 8.0 W16 engine with four turbo compressors and 1,500 hp is not present in this copy. In fact, the car can be driven without a driver's license because it is powered by a very modest electric motor of just 3.35 hp. Yes, 1,496.65 hp difference...

This mechanic is powered by a 72 V battery that offers a range of 150 kilometers (which sounds like a lot). Regarding the maximum speed of this 'vehicle', by law it is limited to 50 km/h, but it can reach 65. A real joke compared to the real Chiron.

Obviously, the size is not the same either. The Chinese Chiron conforms to 4.10 meters in length, as if it were an SUV. The good thing is that it can be parked easily in cities.

The P8 is marketed in several bi-color combinations and the truth is that at first glance the front and side are very similar, within what is appreciated of what is a copy, of course.

Inside, there is a 7.0-inch touchscreen, a sports steering wheel, a large start and stop switch, as well as a multimedia system that can play videos in MP5 format.

Unlike the real Bugatti Chiron, the Shandong P8 copy offers four seats, not just two. Now, the back seats are simple stools that have the appearance of being really uncomfortable.

Of course, in any other country in the world we would be a laughing stock if we drove this cheap replica of the Chiron, but in China this vehicle is highly valued, as copies have always been the order of the day.
