Bugatti sports cars and LEGO® building bricks may seem like two very different things, but they share a common design feature: to be the very best. When the opportunity for collaboration became possible, both teams worked passionately and precisely to perfect the ultimate supercar model: LEGO Technic 42083 Bugatti Chiron.
Art, form, and technique course through the Bugatti brand DNA. See it recreated from every angle in this model’s French racing blue exterior, curved signature line, single beam tail light, horseshoe grill with logo, and more.
Interpreting the Bugatti Chiron’s W16 engine led to the design team producing the most sophisticated LEGO Technic engine yet. It features 16 cylinders – each one fully moveable thanks to two crankshafts. The gearbox is equally as complex, with eight fully functioning gears.
The climax for Bugatti when assembling a Chiron? Connecting the monocoque shell structure to the vehicle’s rear end. This crucial process is mimicked when building the Technic version of the car, giving a real life construction experience.
Two new elements were molded to capture the Bugatti Chiron’s aviation-tested wheels. Firstly, overlapping rims to create the illusion of the low-profile style, and secondly a disc brake to connect the rims to the chassis. The four-wheel drive functionality is another key feature, giving the model high-performance handling.
The dashboard, speedometer, iconic center line, and flat-bottom steering wheel are just a few of the interior details that speak to the luxury and craftsmanship of the real Bugatti Chiron. The car’s curvaceous seats are also realistically recreated, through a series of panel, beam, and tile elements.
