This car video is worth the effort, even without the crazy speed tests.
Lego It’s insane to create a Bugatti Chiron Lego Technic kit that is fully functional and drivable. Two guys decided they were more insane than Lego and did something Doug DeMuro approved of: a detailed review of the Lego Bugatti Chiron.
The video was uploaded by TheStraightPipes Youtube, with the intention of providing more information about the Bugatti Chiron’s Lego form. No, They didn’t cause it to crash like the Lego scale model.
The life-size Lego Bugatti Chiron was built from approximately 1 million Lego Technic pieces. The Lego model took 13,438 hours to create and develop. That’s a long time for a toy.
The Lego Bugatti Chiron’s similarities to the real thing is what’s admirable. The exterior of the Lego 1:1 model mimics the shape of the Chiron. It is composed of triangular segments interconnected that form an outer skin structure. It also has a rear spoiler, as well as working front and back lights.
The most interesting thing about the Lego Bugatti Chiron in life-size is its ability to drive. Although it isn’t as fast as the real Chiron though, it still has 5.3 horsepower (92 Newton-meters of torque) and 67 pound-feet. The car can be driven at speeds of up to 12 mph using its 2,304 motors, 4,032 gearwheels and 2,016 cross-axles.
The best part is that the Lego Bugatti Chiron life-size model doesn’t contain glued parts. This means that there was a lot of work from the Lego Technic team. These guys deserve a lot of credit.
