As an adult I've been purchasing and building Lego Technic for a long time, my last before the Chiron was the Porsche GT3. The Lego Chiron is an absolute triumph in design, engineering and marketing, the designers have absolutely nailed it, it is truly amazing in every detail,the way it looks, the way it builds and works even the boxs and instruction manuals are beautiful and all add to the total experience, even the build to release, the dedicated web pages and podcasts are integral to the Bugatti/Lego partnership and they make you feel part of it. It's way better than the Lego Porsche GT3 which I reakon Porsche missed a trick with regard to build up to launch and the marketing and making the Lego builder feel there're building something special, the Lego Chiron does this in with ease. Most of us won't get near a real Bugatti Chiron but the Lego Chiron is surely the next best thing! Yes it is very expensive but so is the real thing. Its definitely worth the cost in my opinion. The only negative as others have mentioned the shock absorbers are too soft for the weight of the car, it would be nice if there was a modified shock available to sort this problem. If you love Lego Technic, buy this Lego Chiron you won't be disappointed. Surely the Pinicle of Lego Technic.
I collect Lego Technic sets since I was a kid but recently I decided to buy only licensed Technic sets due to their added value. I love to see Lego making 1:8 scale models which provides great level of details, features and a more realistic appearance. Honestly, this one has just been released but I can't wait to see (and buy) the next one (Koenigsegg Regera / Agera RS perhaps?! I would love to see that!!!)
Anyway, It took me about 14 hours to put this model together, I find myself looking into every aspect and detail over and over. The AWD and transmission system is simply awesome. I love to see each part of it and understand how the system will work when done.
My only suggestion to Lego designers is to provide specific stickers already perfectly placed on the bricks (cluster panel, rock panels, doors, etc) so they all align flawlessly.
This is my second time building this type of supercar after Porsche 911 GT3 RS and I would say it was a bit challenging to build but learn a lot. I like how this AWD physics work and stunning set.
The only hiccups I found so far is the front suspension part of this set is saggy while I’m pressing it. First I thought it could be my building error until I found from other reviews that they have the same issue as mine.
I would recommend to someone who’s car enthusiast looking for better execution and interested in how this function works.
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!
An excellent model, the new gearbox is superb, it's a shame it isn't more visible. The instructions are very clear and the parts are easy to fit. It's a shame the engine area doesn't open up as the engine is almost totally hidden in the finished model. Superb detail, the luggage bag is better than the one in the Porsche. A great companion model to the Porsche.
Hmmm where to start, firstly I am an avid Lego Connoisseur and I can say I thoroughly enjoyed the construction process. I liked the precision on the schematics for the construction of this superb specimen of a hyper car model. The detail the components made the experience sooo much better, I loved this. I need more, please Lego give me more.
The Bugatti Chiron is very beautiful! I believe LEGO really listened to feedback on the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and created something remarkable. It is aesthetically pleasing and sturdy enough to show off. I find myself picking it up and studying it over and over. From a Technic standpoint, the new beveled clutch gear and changeover catch are going to rewrite the way gearboxes work in the future. The space they save is tremendous. From a Creator standpoint, the new elements add a refined level of detail. From a build standpoint, the instructions are very well planned. It is easy to see the level of thought and attention to detail put into every aspect of the set. Overall, it is very hard to find a fault with the Chiron.
