Technical, but fun!
on April 1, 2020
Posted by: GGaskill
Just completed building my Bugatti last night and it was a really fun experience. I took my time and did a little bit as I could.
I'm impressed with the degree of complexity in the components such as the transmission, drive train, engine, etc. It was fun, but stressful, to bring the pieces together.
This isn't the first of these that I've built. I have the Beetle, VW van, and the Aston Martin. This Bugatti was by far the most complex, but well with the effort.
On the other hand, for some feedback. I too (as I read in another review) was a bit disappointed with the doors and how they attached. After the secure nature of every other component, it seems the doors were not given the same level of precision. Also, while I think the stickers are well done, printed parts would be a preference.
Another comment, maybe just me, but I'm disappointed not to see some explanation somewhere of how the transmission functions or is meant to function. I think mine works correctly, but I don't know how to tell. It would be nice if there was some detail on this available.
Again, overall this was great. I'm anxious to see the next super car. The Bugatti will be hard to beat.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Building Experience, Functions Are O.K.
on August 18, 2019
Posted by: LegoTucker65
After looking at a lot of online content about this set, I finally decided to buy it and build it myself. I definitely do not regret doing so. It was a very complex build requiring intense focus, and I had to undo lots of work multiple times because I had made minor mistakes. However, I still enjoyed the building experience because of its complicated and interesting nature. It is clear that a lot of time and effort went into designing this set, and I can appreciate the idea of its functions, and the engineering that went into them, but unfortunately not everything works as well as I'd hoped. The transmission jams very often when changing gears, which is easily fixed but is still irritating. Also, the suspension often sags under the weight of the car and does not spring back up very far on its own when pushed down. Overall, it was a great building experience and it looks amazing once finished, but don't be expecting a perfect working model for show-and-tell.

Response from LEGOBy Marine, Customer Service, September 5, 2019
Thanks for your review! I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had some trouble with your LEGO® set. What you're describing is very unusual. Please make sure that the pieces in the transmission aren't too tightly pressed, so it's easy for your to change the gears. The suspension should be A-okay as well and spring back up on their own. If you think there is an issue or If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, please get in touch with our brick experts at LEGO.build/Service. In the meantime, enjoy the drive!

A beautiful car with a few problems
on July 15, 2020
Posted by: Basketcase02
Let me just say that building this car was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had. That being said there are a few problems with the finished product. The suspension is not strong enough to support the car, There are some rather large gaps in between some panels and the front left wheel rubs against the shifter mechanism when fully turned to the left. Other than that it’s a fantastic car!
Good job LEGO!

Great Fun

First Big Technic Piece. Bought the average 2 in 1 kits. Started with Speed Champions while I was sick with C-19, Got bored of having nothing to do so I browsed the LEGO Shop. Bought some cars and waited. Enjoyed the build. Only issue is the pistons don't seem to move. Not sure if I did anything wrong. And no clue where to enter the serial number to view the unique content.

Why you should get the Bugatti Chiron!
on January 17, 2021
Posted by: ConorHanna
It all happened when we were going on vacation and plans changed! Instead, we did a downtown rental in Chicago and went to Water Place Lego Store -- where we saw the Chiron an my parents thought it would be a good vacation activity. It was a great challenge, and very worth the four days spent building it!

Easy But Flawed
on February 22, 2020
Posted by: Jnyfrish82
I Really Loved The Mechanics of the set but the is a few spots with structural weaknesses like for instance the doors which are not attached strongly and and i feel with a little ingenuity the doors could’ve had the ability to lock.
But overall still impressive and exciting to build.

Excellent Build.....Really Likeing Technic
on February 3, 2020

I stopped timing my builds because I felt like I was rushing. I enjoyed this build. No missing pieces which on the last 2 Technic builds, had several pieces missing. Like that there was limited stickers.

Wow! What a build!!
on July 16, 2019
Posted by: TheUnsaneArtist
Having completed the Porsche 911 RSR a few months ago, my son and I were eager to step it up a notch. First of all, unlike the Porsche, all the boxes and bags are numbered, making the build progress much quicker, as you don't spend tons of time searching for parts. The build takes a lot of focus, and we made a few mistakes early on, but luckily didn't have to disassemble much to fix the errors. We loved the details throughout, even the handbag that goes in the trunk! I don't agree with many of the negative comments, but do agree the doors could have used an additional hinge and some sort of stop to keep them from pushing too far into the cabin. Otherwise a fun and challenging build for those who want to tackle something beyond a basic build.
