A challenging and fascinating build, but...
on July 23, 2020
Posted by: Technicsjunkie
While I have built several LEGO Technic sets, they have mostly been the motorized heavy machinery type. This is my first car. The build itself was very satisfying. One needs to be VERY careful during construction, because a wrong placement of a piece can result in having to tear down the model in order to fix the error - so double check as you go along. With a set this complex, it is often difficult to see exactly where a constructed module is to fit into the model. I think LEGO needs on occasion to provide a more close-up view of where a piece or module needs to go. The internal construction is top notch. Everything interlocks so the model is rugged. It is almost a shame that so much of that ends up being covered up with the exterior pieces.
My problem with the set has to do with the exterior pieces. Pieces on the front and back corners are often only held on with a single LEGO "post." Given the weigh of the model, those pieces often fall off. While the rear end of the model is solid, the front end grille is wobbly and flimsy. My gear shifter seems to be jammed, but given that it only gets the pistons to move faster, it is not a biggie. In fact, for all the expense, there is not much to play with. Meanwhile, the Technic construction equipment (with their motors) are alot more fun. A great build, but not much to do with it after it is done.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I Love The Details And The Overnight Bag Is Great! I Just Wish Lego Would Create A Figure That Fits Inside.

I would've gotten it done in 2 days but I had to wait a week for TWO replacement parts. Other than that it was a pretty good experience it worked well, and looked good

Response from LEGOBy Marine, Customer Service, September 5, 2019
Thanks for your review! It's very unusual for a LEGO® set to be missing any pieces. (Usually they're found stuck in the packaging or hiding on the floor!) But in the rare case something is missing, we're always here to help at LEGO.com/Service. We're glad you got in touch, and enjoyed the set!

Hats off to the manual writer!

I had fun building the Fiat 500 and the Aston Martin, and was a little apprehensive about jumping into the Bugatti. I needn't have worried. Building it was very rewarding, even if I did scratch my head a few times trying to figure out how a subassembly plugged into the model. Nevertheless, everything came together perfectly, and the marriage of the two halves just clicked - pun intended.
I even followed the recommendation and listened to the podcasts while building it. Fascinating to hear about the design of the car and the model, and the level of interaction between the Bugatti engineers and the Lego engineers.
As for the model itself, everything works as advertised, my only minor beef is that once it's done you can't really see the transmission in action. Rolling the car in gear does show the pistons moving - nice - but you can't really tell what gear it's in...
Adding to the title of this review, the person who designed the manuals (2 of them) deserves as much praise as the engineers. The build sequence is a work of art!
Highly recommended.

a real collectable

great set loaded with lots of surprising details, from a w-16 valve engine custom tan techic beams, custom hubs and hub labels parts and a bag in trunk all i can say with this set you can never over check your work before attaching it to model
this kit however needs a custom bugatti technic figure (not minifigure) in set to really give it that certain something
podcast is avail for free from lego about this set on the podcast app 9 episodes in all it really sets the mood/ atmosphere when building with this kit.

Fantastic Build Experience
on February 23, 2021
Posted by: KaiSan
I really loved building this set. It was the first set I have built in many years but I was still able to get through it without a hitch. The only thing that I had a little issue with is figuring out how the gear shifting was supposed to happen but I ended up understanding how it worked after some finagling.
