’16 Bugatti Chiron — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
Hot Wheels’ ’16 Bugatti Chiron brings the low, wide French hypercar into 1:64 scale. Since its 2019 debut, the casting has appeared in mainline assortments, multipacks and collector series. Release codes, finish, wheels and packaging separate the versions.
The ’16 Bugatti Chiron casting
The Hot Wheels name refers to the 2016 Bugatti Chiron road car. Its miniature profile is defined by a long cabin set low between broad fenders, the horseshoe grille and the sweeping C-shaped side line. These molded details stay recognizable as paint, trim, wheels and base material change across the family.
FYB49 identifies the first cataloged 2019 release and is commonly used as a casting reference in collector listings. Later toy numbers identify different releases of the same Hot Wheels model. The 2021 Exotic Envy GRJ76 and 2022 HCR54 Exotic Hypercars set entry need their package year and series recorded separately even though their blue-and-black decoration is closely related.
Variation summary · 12 release records
The family includes eleven individual-car records and the four-car HCR54 Premium Collector Set entry. The 2021 HW Exotics car is identified by FF001, while GTN33 identifies its five-pack.

Physical details collectors compare
The basic versions use a plastic base; the Car Culture and Boulevard collector issues use metal bases and Real Riders. Mainline and multipack versions are easier to sort by paint and wheel fit, while premium releases often add detailed lighting and trim. The casting’s long roofline and broad rear haunches remain consistent across the family.
Compare the whole finish, not just the dominant color. FYB49’s metallic blue with silver detail differs from HBG00’s Spectraflame blue; GHG31’s bare metal ZAMAC differs from GHC02’s painted black; and the two-tone GRJ76 and HCR54 records are tied to different package contexts.
Packaging and release notes
Packaging helps distinguish otherwise similar cars. GTN33 is the 2021 HW Exotics five-pack, whose Chiron is identified as FF001. HCR54 is a 2022 four-car Premium Collector Set with a Chiron, Koenigsegg Agera R, McLaren Speedtail and Carry On transporter. HKF52 is a 2023 Car Culture two-pack release.
For sealed examples, keep the assortment or set number, series name and package condition with the record. A loose car may still be identified by its paint and wheels, but its original series can be harder to confirm without the package.
Value Research
No price estimate is assigned here. Compare the exact car or set code, finish, series and package contents, then account for paint wear, wheel condition, completeness and packaging. A loose FYB49 is not a direct comparison for a sealed Premium set or a Boulevard release.
Use completed sales that match the same release and condition. Broad searches for “Bugatti Chiron” can mix Hot Wheels versions, other scales and the real car, so an asking price alone does not establish value.
’16 Bugatti Chiron collector FAQs
Does “’16” mean the Hot Wheels car was released in 2016?
No. It is part of Hot Wheels’ name for the real car reproduced. The first cataloged Hot Wheels release in this family is FYB49 from 2019.
Is FYB49 the casting name?
No. The model name is ’16 Bugatti Chiron. FYB49 is the first release code and is commonly used as a reference for the casting family.
How do I distinguish the 2021 GRJ76 from the 2022 HCR54 entry?
GRJ76 is the 2021 Car Culture: Exotic Envy 4/5 release. HCR54 identifies the 2022 Exotic Hypercars four-car collector set. Check the package year and series; do not use the blue-and-black finish alone to identify the release record.
What does GTN33 identify?
GTN33 identifies the 2021 HW Exotics five-pack. The Chiron in the set is cataloged as FF001, so both codes are useful: one for the car record and one for the pack.
