Make Your Own Chiron with LEGO Technic

LEGO Technic is making a Bugatti Chiron kit and it will be better than the real thing, I guarantee you.

The kit isn’t out yet, but Bugatti took to the internet today to tease it and also provide us with some beauty shots of the full-size Chiron.

The Chiron is a 1,500 hp having, potentially 300 mph going, $2.5 million costing hypercar and as such sounds pretty exciting. And I’m sure it is, but in order to afford it you likely have to be the root of depthless human suffering (either in yourself or others. Probably both).

This Technic set, on the other hand, barely requires any human suffering at all. No information on price is available yet, but the Technic 911 GT3 RS set costs $300, which is a lot for a toy. $2.5 million is even more for a toy.

And when you pay $2.5 million dollars for a toy, you tend to only use it for posing in and bragging about. This Technic set, on the other hand, is used for wholesome activities like bonding with young ones and learning organizational skills.

Again, no information has been released about the set, but for comparison purposes, the 911 set comes with more than 2,700 pieces, a 600-page instruction manual, and measure 22-inches in length.

Although the ad doesn’t reveal exactly when the Chiron set will arrive, it does at least promise that it will arrive this year.

See?

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Watch: The Transport Does a Whole Hell of a lot More than Transport

Petrolicious doesn’t only feature million-dollar classics, it also features the more generally neat, like this 1996 T4 Transporter that became Instagram famous and started and is starting an empire. Callum Creaser’s T4 started life as a panel van, but over the years it has become a homebrew camper van that has gone on adventures around the world. After posting about his adventures to Instagram, the diesel van gained a following and launched The Rolling Home, a series about other people’s small spaces and homey cars. Based on a 1.4-liter diesel with no ECU, Callum says his T4 is easy as pie to work on since information is widely available from sources like ours.
