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!!!

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.

I bought both the Lamborghini and Bugatti during Xmas. Both are excellent sets, but I found the Bugatti illustrations in some places were confusing but not too difficult to figure out. The back was absolutely fun to build (the engine side). Over all it is a beautiful car, but I feel the final product the Lamborghini is better. The minor complain is that Bugatti's suspension is stiff. I can't to build the next Lego super-car now that I know about it. Too bad I can't purchase the orange Porsche any longer.

I liked this build very much! This set was not very difficult for me, but it might be hard for others. The doors and hood open up. You can shift with the shifting paddles and switch gears, including neutral and several drive gears. Additionally, this comes with car keys, and a bag for luggage that can be placed in the forward trunk compartment. The detail inside is pretty cool too! The spoiler also opens with the included car key. There is a unique code under the hood you can enter on this website to get unique content about the car. One negative is that the suspension is a disappointment because the springs can’t come back up when pushed the because of the model’s own weight :( The engine is pretty cool, though. It is a W16 and the pistons are exposed. You can also adjust the headrest for the seats which is pretty neat! I do recommend this set and give it 4 stars.

Looks just like the real thing. I was already amazed when I first opened the box, it had a mural of the Bugatti Chiron printed on the boxes. The build experience was very fun, and I listened to the Bugatti podcast while building it. The gearbox and 16 piston engine are both really cool, and the moving spoiler really worked. Gears 2-3 sometimes made a clicking sound, but otherwise it worked fine. The front was also a bit flimsy. After building it, I took an extra step and added a lighting kit that I got online.
