This is it!!

Since I began collecting cars, every single cars has been upgraded every time, and finally, this Bugatti Chiron shows the perfection.
It's good for play, it's also good for display,
and it shows its worth more when it parked with Porche 911 GT3 RS
I strongly recommend it to have, if you are loyal lego collector lol

Best Lego ever !!!
on June 29, 2018
Posted by: Jepp
amazing how LEGO has improved. Loved the functional pistons and steering. The lift for the spoiler was a bit too much. Halfway through the building of Bugatti made me look for my next build. Didn’t want my Bugatti to be lonely. :-).
Got the Porsche and saw how much better the Bugatti was. Looking forward to the next supercar to come out.

Fantastic Set
on June 28, 2018
Posted by: BrandonK
I love the real Chiron as it is a marvel of engineering. From the quality of the internals to the performance figures, it is an all around mental machine. When LEGO announced this build then I was very excited to pick one up and build the largest Technic set yet. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and the joy it gave me to build all 3,599 pieces. My only critique is for LEGO who hasn't produced more of these technic level cars.

Positives
Chassis design
Gearbox
Engine detail
Interior detail
Paddle shifting
Wheels and disc brakes
Rear end detail
Steering detail
Box layout and instructions
3599 parts for the price
Negatives
Can not see engine detail
Rear deck will not open
Too many gaps in the body detail

Great Set
on June 26, 2018
Posted by: RediscoveredLego
I'm an adult Lego fan and a car enthusiast, so this purchase came very natural.
First of all, this is a really great LEGO design. I can appreciate the work and effort that went into it. It took me about 20 hours and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of the building process. The car is massive and looks very impressive from every angle. It was an amazing experience putting the engine and transmission together and also covering everything up to give it the Chiron shape. Here are my impressions. I'll give it 5 stars for what it is and how I enjoyed it, but I'll also list what I think could have been done better.
what I liked:
- great building experience. enjoyed every moment of it.
- impressive size and weight. I can't believe how massive this beast is! It is a 12 pounds hunk of plastic once assembled!
- awesome exterior to make it instantly recognizable. Yes, the back looks more complete than the front but I believe it was much easier to design due to less curves and easier geometry. If you are looking for a 1:1 reproduction you shouldn't be looking at lego.
- awesome interior with great seat design and console. It's a great bonus for a technic set and I'm glad they added that extra detail.
- genius shifting mechanism in the cockpit
- nice looking, absolutely massive WR16 engine. Looks awesome in motion. While you can't see the gearbox in action, at least you can remove the engine cover and see all 16 cylinders firing!!!
- great rear wing mechanism.

Now to the things that could have been done better:
- Suspensions have a hard time supporting the weight of the car. Need stiffer springs to bring the thing back up.
- headlights don't look like the real thing, which are square halos with black in the center in the real Chiron and give it a characteristic agressive look. I feel this was a missed opportunity to make it look even more like the actual car. Could have put black square stickers/printed elements at the back of the lights to achieve that effect.
- Cylinders only move immediately when you move the car in the reverse gear. In forward gears you have to push the car 1 foot until you see cylinders moving, making it difficult to spot gear shift impact.
- Changes in cylinder firing frequency due to the gear shifts are almost impossible to spot when shifting through the gears due to the previous issue of the cylinders not moving right away when moving the car and the gear ratios employed.
- It is impossible to know which gear you are in since the sequential gearbox just keeps shifting 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1-2-3 ...…. Would be nice if it would stop you from shifting beyond 7 or lower than 1.
- turning radius could have been improved.

While not cheap it's still a highly recommended set. But when was a Bugatti ever cheap ...

The Bugatti of Lego sets.
on June 21, 2018
Posted by: Digic
The attention to detail on this set is incredible! From the general body design to the complexities involved in the marriage process. There were challenging times while building the engine, but seeing it come together was very worthwhile and satisfying.
I have many Lego sets ranging from the Millenium Falcon to other UCM's, and this is by far at the top of my list for most rewarding builds.
I would recommend this to a friend!
