the 1:8 scale car is packed full of intricate details and immersive touches including aerodynamic bodywork and its accurate w16 engine. it also features spoked rims with low-profile tires and a detailed cockpit with movable paddle 8-speed gearshift and a steering wheel bearing the iconic bugatti emblem. there’s even a tiny bugatti overnight bag inside a storage compartment hidden under the hood!
staying true to bugatti’s heritage, the 22-inch model features the classic duo-tone clue color scheme reflecting the brand’s signature colour. it also comes with a set of identifiable stickers for additional detailing and authenticity of the build. the model costs $349 USD, a much less offensive number than the bugatti chiron’s $2.5 million price tag, and will be available from LEGO’s web shop and stores from june 1st.
