LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron model brings together the iconic design heritage of the French ultra-luxury car brand and LEGO Technic elements

LEGO Group and Bugatti Automobiles SAS have today revealed the new LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron. The 1:8 scale supercar will be available from 1 June.

The LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron model brings together the iconic design heritage of the French ultra-luxury car brand and LEGO Technic elements, with a reimagined version of the latest cutting-edge supercar from Molsheim.

The model encapsulates the magic, power and elegance of the Chiron, unveiled to the world two years ago and now brought to life in Technic form, offering a unique, authentic building experience for car enthusiasts and fans of all ages.

“I am very excited about this new model. Our designers have done an amazing job capturing the details of this iconic Bugatti design. It truly stands as a testament that with LEGO bricks you can build anything you can imagine, and an example that with LEGO Technic, you can build for real.

“It is a huge model that I cannot wait to start building myself. I have always been passionate about engineering and this model’s details and design are truly fascinating,” said Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of the LEGO Group.

Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti Automobiles SAS, said: “Thanks to their proven design and technology expertise, the company and Bugatti are the epitomes of their brand segments. The Technic model of the Bugatti Chiron is an expression of this perfect relationship.

“I am impressed at the precision and refinement with which our super sports car has been translated into the toy brand’s world and I am sure that fans of both LEGO bricks and Bugatti will love this product.”
