Beyond impressive
on October 25, 2021
Posted by: MarshallAmiableFox
Between the new-to-me build techniques and the podcasts, I am mind blown that this thing is actually taking shape by my hands. If I could, I'd order a second one, just to showcase some of the sub-builds.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A Must Have
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: FanaticalEngineer034
I purchased this one in store right before Lego listed this as "Retiring Soon". This build was quite the enjoyable experience right from the unboxing. The care Lego put into the delivery and the experience of the model was spectacular. There's a podcast to follow along with the build and extra content to be unlocked once you find your "VIN" plate in one of the final bags.
Shortly after the "marriage", I noticed the wheels weren't turning in the same direction while testing them out. Foolishly, I didn't try fixing the gears at that point while they were still accessible. So when I completed the car and tried pushing it to watch it roll, the car quickly bounced back to me. Thankfully, I found a reddit thread that discussed reversing the rear differential by pulling out the axles. Was able to fix that mistake with a pair a tweezers within 15 minutes, avoiding hours of reconstruction. It was a delight watching it roll to the sound of a real Bugatti's engine via the bonus content.
I gave this vehicle a 4-star based on a few pieces popping off while handling. There's a piece under either side of the spoiler that is only secured by a stud and has popped off if you lower the spoiler too far. I've also had the gray piece that holds the red strip come off of the car pretty easily. And finally, I would've loved to have the doors feel a little more secure when closed. Otherwise, I felt this model was well designed and a beauty to see develop throughout the build. I can't wait to start the next technic build (the Lambo).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great experience

It took a lot of hours but definitely worth it, and they stick to how Bugatti build and assemble their cars.

Incredible build, worth it!

The Bugatti Chiron took me almost 2 years of build-time due to a crazy workload. I had a few missing parts but Lego helped fulfill every one of them.
The packaging is TOP NOTCH and makes you feel like you have a truly premium product. The design/build booklets (2 massive books) really are designed in a lovely way if you enjoy those kind of things. I took ample time to read what the designers had to say and the history of Bugatti and this particular car.
This thing is massive! I have to say it looks very impressive in a display case or shelf. Being technic, most of your time ill be spent with the mechanics of the car, from steering to a full 16-piston engine to working driveshafts and forward/reverse/neutral.
If I were to nitpick, I would say that the design of the hood of the car leaves a LOT of space. The lines and shapes of the parts do the overall look justice, but I would have liked to see more pieces cover it up. I understand that there may have been no pieces that fit the design.
Overall, if you can still find this at a decent price, pick it up. You won't be dissapointed.

Great Experience, great product.

During the summer of 2022, I found myself looking for stuff to do (school teacher in the US; we also get summers off, for many, well deserved break). Long story short, I quickly developed an obsession with Legos. Several sets later, I decided to pick up the Bugatti. What can I say? I do have a bias for Lego technic and this one did not disappoint. It was fun and challenging and therapeutic from start to finish, and the finished product was really quite satisfying. Aesthetically, yes, it doesn’t look as “complete” as the Ferrari. But the way the Chiron came together still makes it look very “alive” or “dynamic.” And like great art, the observer can also participate in the creative process by seeing the finished product in one’s mind. I think there might have been one or two steps in the instruction booklet that might have been off, but if one is careful, these errors are easily corrected. I can’t wait for the next Technic exotic super car!!!

One of the best sets ever
on February 19, 2021
Posted by: IlanMusk
This set is amazing not just because of the look of it and its functionality, but because of the actual building process. I built a lot of LEGO sets before and this is probably the most rewarding build because it isn't repetitive at all and you slowly see the car being made. It's incredible how detailed the engine is and how realistic it is compared to a real Chiron is unbelievable. Everything works seamlessly from the steering to the spoiler. The only thing I don't like is how flimsy it is in front and that there are stickers when they could have printed it. Below I have a picture of mine next to a real Bugatti Chiron, but it isn't the right color since the real Bugatti is the sport version.

Awesome set, awesome subject. Lego at its best!

I truly hope Lego continues this trend that started with the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. I'll buy them all.
The Bugatti is incredible and a great sequel to the aforementioned Porsche. The set is well-engineered, challenging to build and it looks amazing when finished. It's almost a let down when it's complete because construction is so involved and enjoyable.
I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to help me build these.
A Lamborghini, Ferrari or McLaren would be an awesome next project!
