When the LEGO® Technic Bugatti Chiron set was released earlier this year, it was complemented by a series of podcasts, which charted the sets creation. This featured both the LEGO Technic Design Team and designers from Bugatti. It was a intersting listen, which offered a unique insight into how sets are created and how LEGO work with their partners when creating licensed sets. Now I like a good podcast and blast through them when taking the crazy dog for a walk, so I was interested to discover all-new episodes. These follow the creation of the full-sized drivable Bugatti Chiron. Built with over a million LEGO Technic pieces and thousands of Power Function Motors, this 1:1 recreation of the supercar, not only matches the real thing in terms of size, it can actually drive. You can listen to the new Build For Real episodes here or using your Podcast catching platform of choice.
You can check out the full-sized LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron in person as it goes on tour around Europe. It will arrive in the UK in November.
