There's Now A Life-Size, Driveable Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron
Just over a year ago, McLaren worked together with Lego to make an absurdly awesome full-scale model of the 720S. It was astonishing at the time, and it remains impressive today, but the efforts have been rather upstaged by this latest 1:1 scale Lego model. The reason is simple: this Bugatti Chiron - built almost entirely from Technic - is actually driveable.
Power comes from 2304 Technic motors which are good for a combined…5.3bhp. As such, it’s a tad slower than the real Chiron, topping out at a heady 12mph. But hey, the fact it moves at all is remarkable.
It’s made from around one million pieces (including 4032 gears for the motors) and took a combined 13,438 man hours to put together. The level of detail is mind-blowing: the interior has been fully recreated and includes a working speedometer - made entirely from Technic - while on the outside you’ll find working light clusters and a fully-functional active spoiler.
The wheels are - perhaps understandably - the real deal, but almost everything else is made from Technic. There are even load-bearing parts made from the stuff, and no glue was used in the construction - both firsts for a build like this, the Danish company says.
The whole thing weighs one and a half tonnes, about 500kg less than the car it’s modelled on…
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.

“Still can’t afford” comment was made for this post.
I still can’t comprehend how its driveable.
A huge ton of gears I’m assuming
Made out of lego, just imagine all the mods you could do to it! As long as you don’t step on anything.
The question is how do you stomp the gas pedal if it also made of Lego?
thats the rev limiter
how long can you torture yourself
Still better than having to sit on a seat made from the stuff
It has a whopping 143nm of torque at the shaft
all about dem torks
Yo @LEGO can you sell this as a set pls?
Thanks x
You’ll need a LOT of help to build that if they’ll do that
Probably will cost more then a real Bugatti
It’d still be cheaper than the millennium falcon lego kit
well,its just 200 miles short,not a big deal.
Can we consider this as a better weigt reduction compared to the Divo?
insert “lmao they made that lego chiron thing real” here
Woahhhhhh
