LEGO itself about the Bugatti Chiron .
“ We often say that LEGO Technic is really about building and to prove that this is more than just a slogan, we decided to build a car and not just a car. a copy of the beautiful Bugatti Chiron, built with LEGO Technic elements and if that was not enough, we also wanted our car – for the first time ever – to actually drive and be powered by the same Power functions engine technology we use for our standard models.
The idea to build a Bugatti Chiron one-to-one in real life with LEGO Technic came from the LEGO Technic design team. Designer Aurelien Rouffiange and the team were just finished with a scale model of one-to-eight of the Chiron, when the question arose what would be the ultimate challenge for the LEGO Technic building system. A full-scale vehicle of their own strength seemed to them the most difficult test . ”
