Road blocks
When Lego announced that its next deluxe Technic model would be a Bugatti, the company invited us to visit the car maker’s test track in Germany. Not to see the small model, but something more mind-blowing: Lego has built, from over a million pieces of Technic, a life-size Lego Bugatti Chiron… That actually drives.
Weighing around 1,500kg, the car is built pretty much solely from Technic pieces, with the exception of a steel frame (necessary for supporting all that weight), wheels (necessary for being round in a way that Lego is not), hydraulic brakes, power steering, a roll cage (just in case), and a few other mechanical pieces that really can’t be made of plastic.
It’s the first Lego creation of this kind
