The new model was unveiled at Lego
House at the company’s headquarters in Billund by Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of
the Lego Group, and Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann.
The 1:8 scale Lego Technic
Bugatti Chiron replica model – measuring over 5” (14cm) high, 22” (56cm) long
and 9” (25cm) wide and featuring 3,599 pieces – is packed full of intricate
details and immersive touches. These include aerodynamic bodywork with an
active rear wing, spoked rims with low-profile tires, detailed cockpit with
movable paddle gearshift, and detailed W16 engine with moving pistons.
Open the doors and you’ll
discover that there’s more to the cockpit than first meets the eye, featuring a
Lego Technic 8-speed gearbox with paddle gearshift and a steering wheel bearing
the iconic Bugatti emblem.
Each individual model comes
personalised with its own unique serial number, carefully stored under the hood
to unlock special content on Lego.com/technic. The set also features a speed
key which enables you to switch the active rear wing from handling to top speed
position.
Hidden discreetly under the
hood, you will also discover an additional authentic Bugatti Chiron detail –
the stylish Bugatti overnight bag. Staying true to Bugatti’s heritage, the
model features the classic duo-tone blue color scheme reflecting the brand’s
signature colour, and a set of identifiable stickers for additional detailing
and authenticity of the build.
Delivering a final ’artistic’
touch, the set comes enclosed in an exclusive box and includes a ’coffee table’
style collectors booklet with comprehensive building instructions. Fans can also dive deep into the inspiration
behind the design with series of nine exclusive podcasts featuring Bugatti and Lego
experts.
The model encapsulates the
magic, power and elegance of the Chiron1, unveiled to the world two years ago
and now brought to life in Lego Technic form, offering a unique, authentic
building experience for car enthusiasts and Lego fans of all ages.
