In what probably what will give millions around the world a feel of goosebumps, toy manufacturer Lego has built a life-size Bugatti Chirron, the fastest luxury sports car in the world, using Lego blocks.
What's more you can drive the car.
The car generates around 5.3 horsepower, weighs 1.5 tonnes, and is powered exclusively using 2,304 motors and 4,032 LEGO Technic gear wheels, the Inc.com reported.
"The model is the first large scale movable construction developed using over 1,000,000 LEGO Technic elements and powered exclusively using motors from the LEGO Power Function platform. Packed with 2,304 motors and 4,032 LEGO Technic gear wheels, the engine of this 1.5 tonnes car is generating 5.3 horse power and an estimated torque of 92 Nm," Lego said in a release.
Equipped with a rear spoiler, speedometer, front and back-lights, detachable steering wheel and brake pedal, all fully functional and built of LEGO Technic elements, the model is a dream come true for anyone. Building it required the use of 339 types of LEGO Technic elements, and over 13,000 work hours of development and construction.
Seen from a distance side by side, the resemblance of the two cars is striking. Get closer and you will find a fascinating and complex outer ‘skin’ structure, built of interconnected triangular segments made into a LEGO Technic ‘fabric’ designed to mimic the iconic shapes of the original Chiron. Peek inside and discover that every single detail of the original car has been carefully and precisely recreated in LEGO Technic elements – from seats, to dashboard and the steering wheel.
