It has moving pistons and an 8-speed gearbox that builders are able to shift.
We can all admit that most people will never have a real Bugatti Chrome. But Lego’s new Technic set makes it possible to build a stunning model. Although the kit’s $349.99 price tag is high, it is still significantly less than what a full-sized Chiron would be.
The model measures over 22 inches (56 cm) in length, 9 inches (25cm) wide and 5 inches (11.4 cm) high. It is 1:8 scale. You can expect to spend quite some time assembling the Chiron with 3,599 pieces. Refer to Lego Technic for a reference. It previously offered an incredible kit of the Porsche 911 GT3RS but it only had 2,704 pieces.
Lego’s Chiron can be more than a static model once it has been assembled. The Top Speed Mode key allows the active rear wings to change from their higher position, which prioritizes handling, to the lower setting that maximizes the supercar’s speed. W16 engines also have moving pistons. Owners can switch between the eight-speed gearbox using the paddles located in the cabin. Each model is identified by a unique serial number under the hood. Photos show the complete rear subframe, which holds the engine and suspension as well as disc brakes. Builders can also add details to their kit with stickers.
The instruction manual can be stored in a drawer after the model is completed. It doubles as a coffee table book on the Chiron, just like the 911 GT3 RS. Builders can download nine podcasts featuring Bugatti and Lego experts discussing the car and the build.
