A Bugatti Chiron costs around three million Swiss francs. In May 2018, the 100th of the planned 500 units was built. Now the 1500-hp supercar is available at a much lower price - from Lego.

The Danish stonemakers surprise in the Technic range with the Bugatti Chiron in 1:8 scale. This exclusive model was developed in collaboration with Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S to perfectly capture the essence of this perfect supercar.

The more than 14 cm high, 56 cm long and 25 cm wide model car in two Bugatti-typical blue tones consists of 3599 parts. The age recommendation from Lego is therefore from 16 years.

Movable shift paddles and pistons
The model's refinements include low-profile tires on spoke rims with logo, detailed brake discs, movable paddle shifters on the steering wheel and a W16 engine with movable pistons.

The kit also includes a top speed wrench for adjusting the active rear wing.

Impressive rear view. The rear wing can be adjusted with the top speed key.

Each copy has its own individual serial number under the trunk lid. This gives access to additional content on lego.com/technic and to a replica of the original Bugatti travel bag.

Online for 469 francs
But even this fun doesn't come cheap. In Switzerland, the Lego edition of the Bugatti Chiron can be ordered online for 469 Swiss francs including postage and packaging. The Lego super model will then also be available in retail stores from August.
