LEGO Builds Bugatti Chiron From 1,000,000+ LEGO Bricks, And This Test-Drive Video Shows Just How Epic It Truly Is
“With Lego Technic you can build for real,” the Danish toy company announced. And they mean it. To back their powerful words they created a full-scale, drivable replica of the $3,000,000 Bugatti Chiron, and it’s probably the coolest LEGO creation ever.
In total, over 1 million LEGO Technic pieces were used, adding to a weight of 1,500 kg (about 3,300 lbs). There were 13,400 man-hours put into the replica, with the most impressive aspect of the car sitting under the hood. 2,304 LEGO Power Functions motors were put together, generating about 5,3 horsepower that could allow the vehicle to hit about 18 miles per hour.
“Months of development and testing came to a head in June on the Ehra Lessien test track outside Wolfsburg, Germany – the same track where the original Bugatti Chiron was tested – when we found out if the car would actually drive,” LEGO wrote. “We were even more excited when Bugatti’s official test driver and former Le Mans winner, Andy Wallace, agreed to test drive the Technic version of the Chiron on its first drive.”

Check out the video of the LEGO Chiron test drive
People couldn’t get enough of the project
Well, money and all aside - it's beautiful. Amazing.
The driver should've dressed up as a lego guy
Yes, yes he should have.
Let me stop you right here. Bugatti Chiron goes from 0 to 60 mph in about 2,5 seconds, not 5,2 seconds.
I came here to correct that too. Also it's 2.4 seconds :)
Anyone wanna top that with a 2,3 secs?
Thanks for pointing it out, we fixed it :)
🤜🏻😆😆😆
if you look at the 2 cars the Lego one looks cooler they should actually have a paint job like that
It would be easy to do too!
Did my childhood dream just come true?
Wasn't "Bugatti" Isadora Duncan's last words?
"Rosebud" Sans Limits.
I would still probably step on it in the dark.
I’d drive it... I want one!! That’s gotta be an epic “how to build sheet”!!!
It's an awesome car, but it's not a lego car. They made alot of bespoke blocks for this car. If it was a real lego car, they would've used mainly existing lego blocks, so blocks available to the public, apart from the rims & tires. So no, not a lego car, just a plastic one...
Since I have no idea what it takes to build an actual Bugatti, the LEGO is far more impressive to me because I get impatient building a lego block lol
$ 350,- dollar? Give me the address of the shop that sells all those parts for just $ 350,-. Yes, it costs way less then the original but a way lot more then $ 350,-. 13.400 hours of work normally costs at least $ 350.000,-. Still great job though.
it's worth WAY more than 350 dollars!!
At the price of Lego the original work's out cheaper
It is a thing of skill and beauty.
man-hours?
What's next? Building F16 with lego? That seems fun.
Wow - that lego detail is EVERYTHING!
TAKE MY MONEY!!! Wait a sec...
For 3 lifetimes! LOL 😂
And men will still be boys. Can't wait to see that baby racing and landing up a tree! What? isn't that way we go to NASCAR? The crashing would be EPIC!!!!!
what about the SEATS?? My A$$ hurts just LOOKING at it! XD```
When does the kit come out?
Ah it was built out of Lego. So the toy version must only cost 8 billion dollars compared to the asking price of the real version.
Power of the mind.
For 3 lifetimes! LOL 😂
They must have had a lot of aficionados volunteering their time (and LEGO expertise) to land this project. As for the cost of it ... well, the company churns out LEGO bricks, and the value of the advertising and the buzz they get out of this probably makes it downright cheap. Not so for anyone who would like one of these in their own garage - it really is COOL.
This was extremely discombobulating. Tears came to my eyes. WHO AND WHY?
What?
1million pieces for $350?! also, what use is a car that can do 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds? when would you EVER need that? most roads are 30mph/40mph anyway and motorways very rarely have a standing start...
This kind of car isn't about need or usefulness though - it's for showing off (not that I'm jealous at all - mumbles jealously under her breath). Sigh...

LOL
You are WAY too practical Matt.
