Check Out This Life-Sized Lego Bugatti Chiron in Action!

Life-Sized Lego Bugatti Chiron

At the Grand Prix Formula 1 event in Monza, Italy, Lego revealed a functioning sports car that looks like the original supercar from Bugatti made with more than 1 million Lego Technic parts, more than 2,300 Lego motors, and 4,000 gear wheels in the engine. It’s just about as one-to-one as you can get with building blocks.

According to Lego, the 3,300-pound car can actually take you from point A to B; a former racing driver took it for a test drive and pushed it to 12.4 mph. Not racing-fast, but still, moving, seeing as how it’s Lego-based. To put it in perspective, a legit Chiron can reach 60 mph in only 2.5 seconds and has a max speed of 260 mph.

The Lego Bugatti took more than 13,000 work-hours to develop and build, and thanks to Lego’s tireless efforts, a driver and passenger can comfortably sit inside the vehicle. There’s even a working brake pedal and speedometer that shows how fast it’s going.

The car is powered by two batteries, an 80-volt for the motor and a 12-volt for the steering and electronics inside the car, so there’s no revving the engine or shifting gears here — guess what, the lights work.
