LEGOTechnic Bugatti Chiron 42083 Race Car Building Kit and Engineering Toy, Adult Collectible Sports Car with Scale Model Engine (3599 Pieces)

Words of my husband:Though expensive, the Lego Bugatti is a joy and experience to craft and build; if this duplicates automotive engineering than both the car and Lego designers are pure geniuses, and you learn to respect the design as you build. This is a fun project to zone out on and do a couple hours at a time here and there. The packaging itself is pristine and professional, everything is arranged and categorized beautifully to where you can plan it out. Without spoiling too much, there are two(!) manuals to building this beast! And the manuals themselves are full of photos and art and footnotes from the designers. Though the exterior is very flashy, my favorite parts to build were the engine, vastly complex transmission, and gearbox; and the way these all fit together seamlessly will blow your mind if you're into design and engineering at all. I rarely had trouble or difficulty, but definitely check twice before connected (measure twice, cut once, as a previous reviewer said) as there were a couple times I had to retrace my steps; the car is designed as some parts you make at the beginning will have no purpose until later, and it is just MAGNIFICENT how they all fit together purposely. I also had no missing or flawed pieces, my kit came with about 20 extra pieces actually! (Probably a later print). I really enjoyed my time with this, something best done late at night with some vibey music in the background, unwinding from work. 10/10 recommend, would buy again! I intend on checking out the other kits such as the newer Lamborghini, the Porsche, or the Land Rover.

I loved building this, it's super in depth but really easy to build, just takes time and patience.Really nice weight and the build is sturdy.

I just can't say enough about this Lego Technic kit. What a wonderful experience. I'm 65 and retired. I spent most of my career servicing large, expensive, complex equipment. At the start of the pandemic, I purchased the Saturn V kit (1969 pieces) to kill some time. I built it and disassembled it twice. Now I have the Lego bug.So......I ordered the Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron.Building the Chiron was a challenge , but not difficult. Keep in mind, this is not the traditional block design Legos. The Technic sets are mostly beams and pins, with some traditional Lego elements. This makes for a much stronger build and opens up new design options for the engineers. I actually enjoyed it more than the Saturn V build (and I'm a huge NASA nerd!).If you take your time, triple check everything, you'll do fine. I took my time and finished on the 6th day, working on it a few hours a day). When I finished, I was thrilled to see that everything worked. The speed key, the 8 speed sequential transmission, the 16 pistons moving correctly driven by three camshafts, the rear wing, and the steering, I wholeheartedly recommend this to any car fan, Lego fan, or anyone that enjoys a good challenge.It should be noted; I think a 16 year old would have to be exceptional to build this kit alone.Kudos to Lego, you have a new fan!

This is a very nice LEGO set. It comes in a very cool box, both inside and out, and the instructions may be long, but are not confusing. Even if you do miss a part, or something is in the instructions that you don't see, it's never a case of "too late to put it in now". The build took me a combined total of 26 hours over 2 days, and I'm very happy with the result, it's even got me thinking about making my own similar scale set and putting it on LEGO Ideas. This set will require patience, and there are many pins, so your fingertips will hurt for a bit afterwards. The completed set is around 7lbs and is larger than you might think at 22in long, 12in wide, and 6in tall. When I ordered it I knew it would be big, but not that big. Unfortunately, the front suspension isn't up to the task and has a hard time going back up. I can only assume that this is because of the placement of the shock, with limited height in the front, which is why they mounted the shock to the lower beam of the front instead of the upper beam like in the back. I can't imagine motorizing this set with Power Functions or Powered Up will be easy in the slightest, as all 3599 pieces are very tightly packed together.

My model came with missing pieces nearly 3/4 way through the build. I went to Lego online and through their customer support I was able to order the missing pieces. It took a few weeks to get the pieces but I cannot complain because I wasn't charged for anything at all. Just for anyone who has this issue. The parts number on all the pieces that you may be missing are on the last page of you instructions manual. You will need that to order the correct pieces. Other then that the assembly is fun and as an experienced builder challenging at times. The build will take you a few days as did me outside of work and daily tasks. Keep in mind this car is big and sturdy so don't worry about it falling apart if it is picked up or played with. As for someone who may complain about the price it is worth it as it is Lego and comes with more pieces then most models. As an older adult who has an inner kid I recommend it.

This was very challeging and a great build. The finished product is show quality and ready to be displayed.

This Car Building set turned out to be the ideal gift for my adult relative who's a LEGO enthusiast! The intricate design and attention to detail in this race car building set exceeded expectations.If you're looking for a gift that combines the joy of LEGO with a challenging and impressive build, this set is a winner. It brought pure delight to its recipient and is highly recommended for adult LEGO lovers.
