LEGO Reveals Full-Sized LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron

August 30, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today LEGO has revealed a full-sized Bugatti Chiron that is made entirely out of LEGO Technic elements and is capable of driving. The Chiron is made from over 1 million LEGO Technic parts and is powered using LEGO Power Functions motors and can reach a top speed of 20mph. Also packed into the car are 2,304 motors along with 4,032 Technic gear wheels. What’s even more impressive is that there was no glue to hold everything together.

Thank you to Connie over at Mischief for sending over the press release and images of the life-sized LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron.

First Ever Life-Size and Drivable LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron Is a Pioneering Piece of Engineering and Design

Testament that with LEGO Technic you can build for real, this
non-glued, fully-functional and self-propelled LEGO Technic model can fit two passengers inside and accelerate to over 20km/h

Perfectly recreating the organic design lines of the world’s fastest production car – the iconic Bugatti Chiron – the LEGO Technic life-size model pushes the boundaries of what LEGO builders imagined was possible to build in LEGO elements.

The model is the first large scale movable construction developed using over 1,000,000 LEGO Technic elements and powered exclusively using motors from the LEGO Power Function platform. Packed with 2,304 motors and 4,032 LEGO Technic gear wheels, the engine of this 1.5 tonnes car is generating 5.3 horse power and an estimated torque of 92 Nm.

There’s a European trade show going on and there are some new images of a new summer 2018 LEGO Technic set that is displayed there. Shown on the trade floor is the Rough Terrain Crane (42082) which will become the largest LEGO Technic set coming in at 4,057 pieces which will surpass the current Bucket Wheel Excavator (42055) which comes in at 3,929 pieces. The pricing of the Rough Terrain Crane will be €229.99. This set was first displayed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair at the beginning of the year but photography wasn’t allowed. Although I don’t dabble in LEGO Technic that much, fans of the theme will appreciate the functions and scale of it.
