How The Drivable LEGO Technic Bugatti Was Built
Yesterday the LEGO Group revealed their most ambitious builds ever – a full sized, drivable recreation of the Bugatti Chiron, made from LEGO® Technic elements. But piecing together over a million elements and over 2300 motors isn’t as easy as opening a few bags and following the instructions. The build took a team of LEGO Technic Designers and expert builders from LEGO Kladno, over 13,000 hours to develop and construct....
LEGO Technic Bugatti Built For Real
Earlier today the first functioning LEGO® Technic large-scale vehicle will be unveiled for the first time at the Grand Prix Formula 1 event in Monza, Italy. The life-size LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron model is made using over 1,000,000 LEGO Technic elements and is powered exclusively by 2,304 LEGO Power Function motors and 4,032 Technic gear wheels.

LEGO Build A Life-Size & Drivable Technic Bugatti
You can build some pretty cool things with LEGO® elements – giant bridges, dinosaurs, braille machines and of course a mass of amazing MOCs from builders across the world. But the LEGO Technic Design Team and LEGO Engineers have surpassed themselves. Over the past couple of weeks the LEGO social media channels have been teasing a Technic project dubbed ‘Build For Real’ which seemed to suggest that somehow a...
LEGO Technic Tease Their Biggest Build Yet
Last week the LEGO® social media channels began to tease their biggest Technic build to date. Judging from the first tease, it’s assume that the LEGO Technic and Bugatti design teams have created a full-sized working version of the Bugatti Chiron, built mainly from Technic elements. With two days to go before the big reveal, another tease has been posted, which show 2304 Power Function motors combined into one single...
42082: Rough Terrain Crane Technic Review
It’s time for the final set review of the Summer Technic releases. The Rough Terrain Crane is the largest LEGO® Technic™ set released to date, which makes it one big build. So big in fact it’s taken me a while to get it built and it’s been a nightmare to photograph. But I’ve finally finished it and just about managed to get a few decent shots of the incredible looking new set. Construction vehicles...
Building The Impossible With LEGO Technic
The LEGO® social media channels are teasing an intersting reveal for next week which revolves around the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron. The short teaser shows the part of a car bonnet and headlight, which matches those of the Bugatti Chiron. What’s most interesting is those headlights appear to be working. The Built For Real tagline also suggests that the wizards behind LEGO Technic and the designers at Bugatti have somehow...

This month, LEGO® teamed up with premium retailer, Peter Jones to create a bespoke window display to promote the recently launched LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron. The unique display took over nine different windows of the John Lewis-owned store in Sloane Square, London.

42079: Heavy Duty Forklift Technic Set Review
For the next of our reviews of the new LEGO® Technic™ summer releases, I’m taking a look at the smallest of the new sets, 42079: Heavy Duty Forklift. Construction machines make up a big part of the Technic line. Their instantly recognisable look and ability to allow for various functional actions, make them a decent fit for the theme. Just like LEGO system sets, new pieces can allow for new takes on vehicles, which have...
