MONZA: After various over the top monuments and unbelievable replicas made with a Lego set, this new achievement has taken lego art to a whole other level!
Apparently, someone thought of making a whole life-size car out of lego and they did it!
LEGO has put together a working model of the world’s fastest car with more than a million bricks and 2,300 toy motors of the Bugatti Chiron – and the best part is it really drives.
The whole care is made out of LEGO and LEGO Technic parts aside from the car’s steel frame.
The supercar took LEGO 13,400 hours to complete from September last year and only completed a few months ago.
Andy Wallace, the driver behind the LEGO Technic Chiron and official Bugatti pilot, said:
“When I first saw the LEGO Chiron, I was immediately impressed by the accuracy of the model and the minute attention to detail. In fact, from about 20 meters away it’s not obvious that you are looking at a LEGO car. I can only imagine how much time and effort went into making this model.
Driving the LEGO Chiron was a great experience, which I thoroughly enjoyed. All those years ago I could never have imagined that one day I would actually drive a LEGO car!”
Lena Dixen, senior vice president of product and marketing at the LEGO Group said:
“Our Technic designers and the engineers from the Kladno factory in the Czech Republic, the place which also builds the impressive models for LEGO Stores and LEGOLAND parks, have done an amazing job both at recreating the Chiron’s iconic shapes and making it possible to drive this model.”
The official launch of the vehicle will be at the Formula One Italian Grand Prix in Monza this Sunday (September 2).
