LEGO Bugatti Chiron has an Active Rear Wing and Moving Pistons

There’s finally a Bugatti Chiron that doesn’t cost millions.

The LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron has been unveiled, priced at $349.99 for the 3,599-piece set. Developed in partnership with Bugatti, the LEGO Technic Chiron features aerodynamic bodywork, logoed spoked wheels with low-profile tires, detailed brake discs, and a W16 engine with moving pistons. The cockpit features a Technic eight-speed gearbox with movable paddle gearshift and a steering wheel sporting the Bugatti emblem.

One nice highlight is the active rear wing, which can be switched from “handling” to “top speed” position by inserting the top speed key. Opening the frunk reveals a unique serial number and a storage compartment filled with a stylish Bugatti overnight bag.

Like the LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS finished in the instantly recognizable orange, the Chiron gets the classic Bugatti duo-tone blue shade that reflects the brand’s signature color. There is even a set of stickers for additional detailing.

The 1:8-scale LEGO replica model measures over five inches high (14 centimeters), 22 inches long (56 cm), and 9 inches wide (25 cm). It comes in a luxurious box and includes a color collector’s booklet with comprehensive building instructions.

Pricing for other markets has also been announced, costing $399.99 CAD, €379.99 in France, €369.99 in Germany, £329.99 in the U.K. and 3199 DKK in Denmark.

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...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
