The Testing of Lego Bugatti Chiron

Lego might have successfully built a 1:1 life-size Bugatti Chiron. But, it is a dealbreaker to make it drivable and safe. The unique Lego development required rounds of rigorous testing and checks on the tracks of Ehra Lessen. What's more interesting is the original Bugatti Chiron also completed tests on the exact location.

The best part about the Lego Bugatti Chiron is when the carmaker's official test driver and former Le Man's winner, Andy Wallace stepped in for a test drive. Wallace was stunned to learn that toy parts could end up in fantastic ways.

The Looks of Lego Bugatti Chiron

Despite using a combination of tiny and big elements, it is applaudable how Lego managed to make its creation so similar to the original Bugatti Chiron. The resemblance will leave you amused if you compare it side by side.

We loved the complex and unique skin structure of the Lego life-size Bugatti. It uses interconnected triangular segments turned into Lego Technic ‘fabric.' The brand has put its best foot forward to replicate the iconic structure of the real-life Chiron.

Lego has packed in an intricate level of detail. With Lego Technic elements, the toy brand mimics every single component of the Chiron so well. The steering wheel, dashboard, seats, and every other small or big component of the Lego variant come neck and neck with the Bugatti Chiron.
