The new Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron set has arrived with extreme detail, a traditional bi-colored blue paint scheme, and a W-16 engine with moving pistons. Priced at $349.99 in the U.S., it doesn’t come cheap, but the detail is out of this world, including a life-like cabin with a Technic eight-speed transmission, movable paddle shifters, and a Bugatti emblem on the steering wheel. The exterior features all of the aerodynamic enhancements of the real thing, and to top things off, if you insert the top speed key, the wing will transition from the handling position to the top speed position. The engine even has moving pistons and extreme detail like we’ve never seen before on a scale model.

The Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron in Detail

First off, let me point out that the new Technic Chiron comes with 3,599 pieces that will probably keep you busy for hours. The design is as authentic as it gets, all of the way down to the oval grille design, front splitter, and Bugatti emblem on the wheels. Even the headlights are fashioned out of four clear, cube Legos to match the design of the real thing. Featuring the traditional light and dark blue, bi-colored scheme outside, the Technic Chiron measures out to be five-inches tall, 22-inches long, and 9-inches wide, making it exactly a 1:8 scale model. Even the brake discs on this thing detailed.

Inside, you’ll find the eight-speed gearbox with movable power shifters and the Bugatti-branded steering wheel. It also features that traditional tan interior color and the tri-pod instrument cluster. There’s even a makeshift center stake the imitates the infotainment system of the real Chiron. Each model set comes complete a colored collector’s booklet, building instructions, stickers for additional detailing, a unique serial number under the hood and there’s even a Bugatti overnight back inside the storage compartment up front.

If the detail you see outside and inside doesn’t get you going, just take a look at the chassis and driveline setup. This this is so detailed that it looks overly complex, to say the least. Of course, the W-16 engine has the moving pistons but look at the detail of the suspension, the brake rotors, the engine’s belt system, and the subframe that connects the two halves together. It almost looks like it’s harder to build than a real Bugatti.

Unfortunately, we haven’t had the chance to get our hands on one yet, but we would sure love to put one together to see all of it first-hand. This Lego kit is the definition of a car guy’s dream, and even with a price of $349.99, it’s well worth it and will likely become a collector’s piece one day. The only thing you have to do is figure out whether you want to open it up and build it or leave it in the box to grow in value.
