Lego used over 1 million Lego Technic pieces to create a drivable, life-size replica of the Bugatti Chiron, one of the world’s fastest cars. The Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron, which took more than 13,000 hours to complete, weighs 1,500 kg, is powered by an engine made up of 2,304 Lego Power Function motors, and has a top speed of 25 km/h. The model rides on real Bugatti Chiron wheels. The car’s powered by two batteries, an 80-volt for the motor and a 12-volt for the steering and electronics inside the car, so there’s no revving the engine or shifting gears here — but, hey, the lights work.
According to Lego, the 3,300-pound car can actually take you from point A to B; a former racing driver took it for a test drive and pushed it to 12.4 mph. Not racing-fast, but still, not bad, seeing as how it’s Lego-based. To put it in perspective, a legit Chiron can reach 60 mph in only 2.5 seconds and has a max speed of 260 mph.
