Then again, the price tag is so high I’ve already accepted that I won’t be able to buy it, which is probably why I’m not looking at it so critically. There's not much legroom as a result! The set provides and long and satisfying build. I'm not entirely convinced by the way it's been recreated and I suspect many of you will be disappointed by the use of a flex tube. There's no external knob to do so, you need to reach in and turn the wheel. I don’t write comments usually and until now I have not had the intention to be involved in the arguing about whether LEGO/certain LEGO sets costs too much and why the huge price difference among markets… However, in this case, I just could not withhold myself from expressing my opinion about the set, the ‘LEGO interpretation’ of a beautiful car and obviously the price.I am simply angry at LEGO because I believe this is not the direction they should head to. These two parts are also used in the gearbox and the orange one will revolutionise gearbox design by allowing gears to be shifted by rotation rather than by using the change-over catch that has been a feature of all gearboxes until now. https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=1&From=GBP&To=USD, https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6245724.pdf, https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6245725.pdf. And I do mean that in a nice way. I've not checked out what that is yet. Hearing people from other regions complain about the price, now I feel like I *have* to get it, to take advantage of how much less expensive it is in the United States!I’ll definitely get this eventually, but probably not without either a discount or Double VIP points. A disappointing flagship (just because it should not). At least the Porsche gears made it faster/slower. @Strymon I understand what you mean, I once wasn’t interested in these car sets. The completed model looks absolutely stunning. The design of the Chiron … Seriously how can you make such a large car that looks so disjointed and yet make a mini copper that's half the size and looks great? The main distinguishing feature of the car is the swooshing 'C' shape that delineates the colours. Construire des voitures devient très facile avec le nouveau modèle 42083 Bugatti Chiron de LEGO® Technic. Now we turn our attention to the interior. Many thanks to the LEGO group for providing the set in such a timely manner for this review, which is an expression of my own opinions. There's a new 20-tooth gear (the blue one) the same size as the standard one (tan), but designed for use in gearboxes in conjunction with the gear shifter ring, like the 16-tooth red one. The amount LEGO charges is not substantially different (given the difference in tax systems and currency conversion), it's just that we get the whole cost up-front, unlike Americans who have to calculate the total cost for their county before deciding whether to purchase. I thought the Porsche was pretty bad but this takes the ugly factor up by several notches.Technic should stick to doing trucks. Each one talks about what you're currently building and the challenges the designers faced. On the real Chiron, the top speed key works like this:- In normal "Handling Mode", the wing is in the deployed position.- Accessing "Top Speed Mode" requires the insertion of the key, which keeps the wing in the stowed position for improved slipperiness.- When the wing deploys in the vertical position, this is a separate, second function of the wing where it acts as an air brake under heavy braking. See our price match guarantee. Insert the top speed key and you can switch the active rear wing from handling to top speed position. Since then I must say the Unimog is/was my favourite but after that, with the exception of the 9398/41999 combo, Technic is getting too much. I'd love to get some of those for my Porsche but they will probably be in the 2 digit region on BL later. Insert the top speed key to switch the active rear wing from handling to top speed position. Sorry but I don't like it. The rear lid affords a glimpse of the detailed W16 engine with moving pistons, while beneath the hood you'll discover a unique serial number and a compact storage compartment containing a stylish Bugatti overnight bag. The doors and front of the bodywork are added next, using medium azure pieces, many of which have been produced in that colour for the first time. I like the Brakediscs! It's the second 'ultimate Technic' supercar to be released, two years after 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and is built to the same 1:8 scale as the Porsche. Being a mostly System guy, I don't think I can judge the set on its technical feats. There is little repetition -- mainly just left- and right- hand assemblies -- and, apart from the engine and gearbox, it's not particularly complicated or taxing. Pics look great btw. Really think Lego went wrong in the colour scheme. Shame you can't see much how the gear box works--is the model designed for an easy drop-in electric motor like past ones have been?Lego seems to be working hard at giving me a reason to finally replace 8448. If you have LEGO news, new images or something else to tell us about, send us a message. The gear paddles are implemented very differently to those in the Porsche. If it was AUD250 I would say, OK, let’s buy it, it does not look that bad! Here's a photo of the version LEGO has modelled: The box is compact and heavy, around 6kg. Definite buy for me.

Vast majority of the stickers could easily have been printed. Retrouvez tous les détails de la célèbre voiture de sport dans ce modèle : le coloris extérieur bleu caractéristique de la marque française, sa ligne incurvée emblématique, la rampe de LED unique en guise de feu arrière, sans oublier la calandre en fer à cheval surmontée de l’insigne de la marque. The set features new rims and brake disc pieces, and also features fully independent suspension, along with four suspension springs per axle, rather than the typical two per axle like in other TECHNIC sets. Avec ses 3 599 pièces, la Bugatti Chiron LEGO® Technic 42083 est un modèle dont vous ne pourrez plus vous passer. I didn’t like the look of the Porsche at first, but it really grew on me until I finally got it. Lifting the lid reveals six boxes inside, one of which holds the wheels. Unfortunately, they really don't. I think the car on wich it is based is ugly so the Lego set doesn't impress me at all. Just popping in to mention that the lighter blue bits are DARK Azure, not medium (the part codes match up with those used in 42077)Smashing review though*runs away*. Each one moves two rings; you can just about see the other pair below them. Of course the limitations of the Technic system has required some compromises but I reckon the designer, Aurelien Rouffiange, has done an excellent job of translating the sleek and sensual lines of the bodywork into Technic. Ridiculously overpriced, and still stickers, when Juniors or Ideas sets come almost exclusively with prints, and at much lower prices. Can’t wait to put it next to my Porsche though!Appreciate the quick and thorough review. By WW Bricks Studio DESIGNER. Il est équipé de 16 cylindres, tous entièrement mobiles grâce aux deux vilebrequins. Great Review! The instruction manuals are above the below the middle box and have the same pictures on their covers as the box. It is a nice set (although far from being a real Technic set) however nowhere near to an Arocs or even a 4x4 Crawler in my eyes. Right? I guess if the draw is all the technical parts that it can do, why did they cover them all up in an unappealing exterior? Pricetags like this made me stop buying new lego sets and replicating them with the parts i already have... For all those discussing the regional price disparity, I'm wondering if there is a discernible reason, e.g. There are better sets out there for neary £330. Cool final photos! Wow. I truly also wonder now, where Lego is heading with the many recent launch of expensive and big sets. Like the use of system parts coming back into Technic. I don't mind too much that is not exactly like the car looks, it's technic not a creator expert. The gearbox is undeniably very cleverly implemented and the new parts that have been produced for it make it work so much better than that in the Porsche. Bugattis have a distinctive, almost bulbous, front end around the horseshoe grill and I'm not convinced that's been replicated here particularly well, if at all. "There are limitations" and other blah-blah-blah are no excuses for failure to make an exact copy. I own 42056 Porsche and won't be buying this Bugatti. Lorsqu’une opportunité de collaboration s’est présentée, les équipes LEGO et Bugatti ont uni leur savoir-faire avec passion et minutie pour créer le modèle de voiture de sport parfait : la Bugatti Chiron LEGO Technic 42083. La boîte de vitesses est tout aussi complexe, avec huit engrenages entièrement fonctionnels. I will probably pick it up from Amazon eventually at a much more decent price. The typical enthusiast is more hands on and interested in LEGO than a Bugatti owner. Comes with a classic Bugatti duo-tone blue colour scheme that reflects the brand's signature colour, plus a set of cool stickers for additional detailing.
