Precisely scaled at 1:8, the Lego Chiron is a detailed and complicated creation. The list includes aerodynamic bodywork with an active rear wing, spoked rims with low-profile tires, and a detailed cockpit with movable paddle gearshift. The twin-turbocharged W-16 even has movable pistons and the Chiron's famous “speed key,” which in the real car is used to access maximum performance.
But the savings comes with restrictions. The vehicle is not only too small for street usage, but its also missing an actual power source, so it cant move. It also only comes in blue.
Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann had this to say of the design.
“I am impressed at the precision and refinement with which our super sports car has been translated into the Lego world and I am sure that fans of both Lego bricks and Bugatti will love this product.”
Each individual model comes personalized with a unique serial number, which can be used to unlock special content on the Lego Technic website. As a bonus, buyers also receive a comprehensive construction guide that doubles as a coffee table-style collector’s booklet.
The Lego Chiron is priced at $350. While that sounds expensive, it's a good 9314 times cheaper than an actual Bugatti Chiron. So it seems like a good deal. You can find it at Lego stores now, and it will be available in general retailers on August 1.
