Bugatti and Lego Technic, surprising combination

In Monza, Italy the well-known Danish manufacturer Lego Technic has presented a very surprising creation, which can be driven. It is a life-size Bugatti Chiron with more than a million pieces.

An impressive result that has taken 13,400 hours to assemble the pieces by hand and without glue. It has 339 different types of parts and some new ones that did not exist had to be developed to provide the body with a natural curve; as well as for the headlights and skulls that mimic the pattern of the Bugatti Chiron ignition.

All the pieces were fixed to the metal frames that join the wheels, which have Bugatti rims and Michelin tires. By the way, the brake discs are also from Lego.

For complete realism, the rear spoiler also unfolds, the doors open, and of course the seats are Lego. Both the front and rear lights, the removable steering wheel and the brake pedal, are also made with Lego pieces. An impressive piece of work from the Lego Technic engineering team.

The powertrain capable of powering this Bugatti Chiron is made up of a total of 2,304 Technic motors which are in turn connected with 4,032 gears. This Bugatti Chiron is the slowest in its range, reaching a maximum speed of 20 km/h, but without a doubt, it is the fastest and most powerful car created with Lego pieces.

Testing the Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron

The vehicle was tested with multiple Le Mans and Daytona champion Andy Wallace at the test track in Ehra Lessien, Germany, which was where the Bugatti Chiron was originally tested.

This Lego replica with a weight of 1,500 kg has 5.3 hp, which is obviously far from the 1,500 hp of the original Bugatti, but it is undoubtedly the most special Bugatti that can be driven.
