Take A Close-Up Look At The New Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron
As we write, it’s still 204 days until Christmas. But if you want an early start on writing your list, let us save you the effort, as it needs just one thing on it: this Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron. Oh yes.
It’s made up of 3599 pieces, which is nearly 1000 more than the Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS released a couple of years ago. As you’d expect then, it’s amazingly complex, with the designers going as far as making a W16 engine with moving pistons, and coupling it to a working eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Just like the real thing, it includes a speed key (made from Lego, obviously) which can be used to raise or lower the spoiler. The build process even includes a ‘marriage’ process between the partially-completed rear axle/engine assembly and the monocoque, mirroring the way Bugatti builds the Chiron in its Molsheim factory.
If you’re thinking all this sounds rather expensive, you’re right: the kit costs £329.99 in the UK, and $349.99 in the US. From what we’ve seen so far though, it looks to be worth it. Not to mention rather a lot cheaper than buying a full-size Chiron…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

This genuinely pisses me. I posted about this 3 times and no one cared
Sorry but no. All you did was post a picture with the caption “Lego Bugatti Chiron”. Posting 3 words does not give you the right to be pissed off at an article on the same subject that is much more informative at that.
Also, CT is not a popularity contest.
Well it was not interesting
I really want this one….too bad it costs wayyy too much….it costs RM2000 in malaysia
Looks as if it got Street fighterd
That’s Street Fighter
Just convinced my father to buy two so that I could have one to build and one to keep in the box. I basically invested my money cause I know I’ll make the 700 dollars I spent back from the one I kept in the box. Lego collectors like myself miss out on stuff like this all the time, and when they go to buy it again in 5 years time it hurts when the set has appreciated to almost twice it’s original value. Can’t wait to build the thing.
invested his money
Let’s see if it can pass the fist test…

If you drop it, it’ll nearly go as fast as the real one.
