Cool car!
I liked this build very much! This set was not very difficult for me, but it might be hard for others. The doors and hood open up. You can shift with the shifting paddles and switch gears, including neutral and several drive gears. Additionally, this comes with car keys, and a bag for luggage that can be placed in the forward trunk compartment. The detail inside is pretty cool too! The spoiler also opens with the included car key. There is a unique code under the hood you can enter on this website to get unique content about the car. One negative is that the suspension is a disappointment because the springs can’t come back up when pushed the because of the model’s own weight :( The engine is pretty cool, though. It is a W16 and the pistons are exposed. You can also adjust the headrest for the seats which is pretty neat! I do recommend this set and give it 4 stars.

Cool Car
Looks just like the real thing. I was already amazed when I first opened the box, it had a mural of the Bugatti Chiron printed on the boxes. The build experience was very fun, and I listened to the Bugatti podcast while building it. The gearbox and 16 piston engine are both really cool, and the moving spoiler really worked. Gears 2-3 sometimes made a clicking sound, but otherwise it worked fine. The front was also a bit flimsy. After building it, I took an extra step and added a lighting kit that I got online.

One of the best sets ever
This set is amazing not just because of the look of it and its functionality, but because of the actual building process. I built a lot of LEGO sets before and this is probably the most rewarding build because it isn't repetitive at all and you slowly see the car being made. It's incredible how detailed the engine is and how realistic it is compared to a real Chiron is unbelievable. Everything works seamlessly from the steering to the spoiler. The only thing I don't like is how flimsy it is in front and that there are stickers when they could have printed it. Below I have a picture of mine next to a real Bugatti Chiron, but it isn't the right color since the real Bugatti is the sport version.

Lego Bugatti Chiron AMAZING
List of functions
- 8 speed gearbox with paddle shifters(it has 1 fault - in gear 2 it makes a grinding noise when you drive it)
- DNR stick in the centre console
- Working steering wheel
- An open engine so you can watch it spin
- An opening bonnet (it shifts a bit to the left and right though)
- Double wishbone suspension on all 4 wheels (it sags down a lot on the front and on the back it is fine though)
- There is beautiful box art as soon as you open it and the instruction manual has amazingly highly detailed pictures comparing the Lego Bugatti to the real one and of the build processes
- My family purchased this for me as a combined Christmas and it was defiantly worth it!
Its a great product

My Favourite Build
First things first, we need to talk about the packaging. I was completely blown away when I opened this box up as it is all sectioned up in to individual boxes which are then printed to make up a view of the actual vehicle this set is based on. Even better, you can change the boxes up to make up a rear view. The inside of the box lid is also printed with concept drawings of various Bugatti vehicles. Simply gorgeous packaging that I will be keeping intact and not folding down for flat storage.
As anticipated the build itself is complex and you really need to concentrate. So much so I spent 4 Days constructing this vehicle and really immersing myself in the whole build experience. The upshot of this was that I had no functionality issues when it was built and the drive train seems to work well with the gearing. There are some tricky sections where you have to work from underneath - so much so my husband asked if I wanted him to build me an inspection pit.
I cannot say enough good about this set. I was so disappointed to finally finish the build and I would happily start it all over again right now with the hugest grin on my face. Definitely one for the Lego Addict though as it is not going to be quick to construct no matter how experienced you are and it WILL challenge you. I was so impressed with how it all went together I actually took progress pictures of how each box broke down in to construction.

Hard to right impression
I decided to write a review for this product because I had a disappointment from it.
After the great feeling of building the 911 Porsche model. I was sure that in this model I have the same or better feeling.
The box and books, many parts complexity and details are much more than the Porsche
But the design is not good. It seems that Lego wanted to come out with the model and not waited enough time to fix all.
Front of the car parts are very loos, the back as well.
Front wheel springs don’t hold the wight of the car. I added 2 or 3 more sets of springs to lift the car.
One thing I loved is the build of this set finds the same like the Original car.
Not all Is bad, it’s a very good model for car lovers but I think I could have more value for money.
This model is for the Presentation only.
I think that Lego fan will need to choose one model from the car series to have the full experience.
The new Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 will not enter to my collection.

Great Model and a Feeling of Accomplishment
Having built the UCS Millennium Falcon some time ago, I was ready for another challenge and this model has become my favorite Lego build. While working on it I was inspired to learn about the real Bugatti Chiron and I was blown away by all I learned, from Buggati's history to how the vehicle is assembled and it's capabilities. The car is an engineering marvel. As I proceeded through the build, I could see the level of detail that the Lego designer put into this model. The bags are numbered which increased my enjoyment. However, after the "marriage" part at stage 6 I tested the wheels by spinning them by hand and noticed they would spin only a turn or two and then stop. I disassembled most of what I completed and located that my mistake was in the gearbox with the orange pieces that engage the various gears. I didn't have those orange pieces sitting correctly so there they would be able to engage the gears. Based on some similar problems I've seen builders have on YouTube who unfortunately discovered a problem with the wheels not turning after the model was completely finished; I recommend testing the wheels to make sure they spin after the marriage where you join the front and rear halves of the model. The wing was also a bit of a challenge for some reason, but it ultimately came together perfectly. My second suggestion for builders is to take their time and enjoy the process. I've seen several videos where people try to rush assembly and ultimately make a mistake. Even with my mistake this was a great experience and I enjoyed putting the model together and learning about the real Chiron. The model looks great and the more you learn about the real Chiron, the more you will appreciate what went into designing this piece. I enjoyed the Chiron so much, that I ordered the technic Porsche which I had to get from a third party because it is a retired product. From what I see, the Bugatti blows the Porsche away, but I got addicted to the engineering that goes into these models.

Most detailed lego set ive ever purchased
Very incredible set! So amazed at how many working parts are in this car! Everything from the unique rims to the working w-16 motor and shifting gearbox! The fully functioning awd with real front and rear differentials is a jaw dropping engineering feat! Just add an opening hood amd more visible motor and ill be happy!

WOW
This has been on my radar for a while to get. After receiving it as a gift, I was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to dig in. The whole building experience from start to finish was amazing and seeing the end result is epic! I absolutely love it. It’s certainly worth getting and building, but I think it’s a bit pricey for what it’s worth. Looking forward to having it on display and showing family and friends, and talking to them about the build experience.

Disagreement among themselves.
My girlfriend and I are both very happy with our purchase. However, it does lead to some friction about who gets to build what. Overall, a great set. I think we'll order twice next time.

Bugatti for a reasonable price
The Bugatti is one of the most beautiful LEGO sets ever. You will spend quite a bit of time building it, which is also the intention. Afterwards, you will own a beautiful and large model of this striking car. A must-have for every LEGO collector.

First LEGO Technic Build Experience
This was my first LEGO technic build and I loved it!
Haven’t made many LEGO sets before, but I throughly enjoyed making the Bugatti Chiron!
I could only spent 1.5hrs per night; I would have preferred to spend more to reduce the overall time to build. Some basic mistakes set me back a bit time, but good learning and experience.
Once the front and back chassis’s are built and joint, the rest comes along nicely.
5 boxes altogether with multiple packets of LEGO in each bag. Sorting the pieces upfront helped along with place items in small bowls for easier access (especially stopping and starting the build process).
I had a missing part, which is annoying. Looking to secure that missing part now (piece from the bag for the boot).
Looking for a cover now to avoid getting duct! Throughly recommend this set and I am looking forward to making another few (albeit the lapse time will be long).

A Building Experience
I'm a little new to the Technic line, having only built the Rally Car before this. From the moment I opened the box, I knew this would be an experience. Firstly, the box design and presentation is beautiful, love the mosaic of the inner boxes. I love seeing how the engineering comes together throughout the build, and this did not disappoint in that area, the build mimics the actual build process in that the engine and gearbox are built separately and then married to the rest of the body.
Having said all that, I do have a few nitpicks/criticisms:
For the price point, there are a lot of stickers; for $350 USD, I'd expect some custom-printed parts.
The joy of building the massive, 12 cylinder engine is lost under a non-opening rear decklid, you can barely see the pistons working.
The doors seem a little flimsy; only one attachment point and nothing to stop them from going too far into the cockpit when closed.
The model is so heavy, even having 2 shocks per wheel doesn't seem to be enough to hold up its weight.
No room for motors/servos to motorize.
This definitely seems to be more of a static model than something to really be "played" with, but I did really enjoy the build, and it looks fantastic. I will be moving on to the Porsche when my bank account recovers!

Fun to build
It's very interesting to put together. The podcasts about the production process of this LEGO set are also very enjoyable to listen to while building. And the final result looks very nice.

Wow-Gatti
This is my first time EVER building (Lego Technic) something so technical from Lego.
But wow it was a lot of fun! Will definitely be purchasing more! This was my first Lego build in 10 years, Really brought back memories :-)
If I was too add my only criticism. I wish the key was a little more rigid! Apart from that well worth the money.

Bugatti Build
I love assembling the Bugatti and the Porsche!! I think these were easy builds and had a great time building both sets. In my opinion I highly recommend building both.
