The Bugatti Chiron"s place in history is assured. Not because of speed records we"re still waiting for a de-limited, v-max run. We refer instead to today"s news, in which the Chiron has joined the exclusive club of cars immortalised in Lego Technic. And it"s big. We"re talking 3,599 pieces, constructing a model measuring 14cm tall, 56cm long and 25cm wide, making it 1:8th scale. For your nerd-tastic reference, the Lego Porsche 911 GT3 RS model only contained a measly 2,704 pieces to tread on in agony during a midnight toilet stumble, though its dimensions match the Bugatti"s. That hints at the complexity beneath, and Lego"s Chiron faithfully recreates the engineering that propels the life-size version to a limited 267mph. It"s got a W16 engine with 16 flailing pistons, an eight-speed gearbox, and working paddleshifters and steering. Under the bonnet, you"ll find a unique serial number, and there"s a collector"s booklet" included in the set.
