accreditation

Spoked rims with low-profile tyres, detailed cockpit with movable paddle gearshift... the perfect gift for a petrolhead's kids could be this insanely cool Lego Bugatti Chiron.

A video takes an in depth look at what goes into the Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron. This Chiron is made up of 3599 Lego blocks and the Danish toy firm has been working on this project for the past two years.

Bugatti chief Stephan Winkelmann and Lego boss Niels Christiansen introduced this fantastic piece of machinery to the world in June 2018.

'Iconic design'

Christiansen, CEO of the LEGO Group said: "I am very excited about this new model. Our Lego designers have done an amazing job capturing the details of this iconic Bugatti design." 

This Lego Chiron has an active rear wing and pistons and there is also a special plaque in the boot. These include aerodynamic bodywork with an active rear wing, spoked rims with low-profile tyres, detailed cockpit with movable paddle gearshift, and detailed W16 engine with moving pistons.

Open the doors and you’ll discover that there’s more to the cockpit than first meets the eye, featuring a Lego Technic 8-speed gearbox with paddle gearshift and a steering wheel bearing the iconic Bugatti emblem. 

Where can I get one? The Lego Technic is available online on Lego Stores from June 1. 

Price? $350.
