Never mind what model it is, a Bugatti costs a fortune. That’s that. Thankfully, everyone can own and build one thanks to toys like the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Hypercar (42222). That’s right, my fellow car enthusiasts who are too poor to own an actual Bugatti, LEGO has another Bugatti to offer. Sure. It is rated for ages 9 and up and comes with just 771 pieces, but man, it looks great. Damn. LEGO is getting good at this with each set, don’t they?
What LEGO has done here is boil a multimillion-dollar hypercar down into something that fits on a desk, survives enthusiastic play, and still looks unapologetically Bugatti. The proportions are spot on, the orange-and-black color scheme screams Pur Sport energy, and it somehow manages to look fast even when sitting completely still. This is one of those builds that reminds you LEGO Technic does not need four digits’ worth of parts to make something feel special.
Functionality is where this set really shines. Steering is controlled via a knob mounted on the roof, a classic Technic move that still feels satisfying every time. Under the hood, there is a W16 engine to admire, complete with moving elements that give young builders a taste of mechanical realism. The doors open. The hood opens. The whole thing feels less like a toy car and more like a compact engineering lesson wrapped in hypercar drama.
Then there is the modern twist. LEGO throws in a redeemable code that unlocks a digital version of the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport in the ASPHALT LEGENDS online game. Build it physically, race it digitally, then come back and put it on display. That is cross-platform play, LEGO style.
The build itself is guided by the LEGO Builder app, which lets builders zoom, rotate, and track progress in 3D. It is intuitive, forgiving, and ideal for younger builders getting their first taste of Technic complexity without frustration.
In terms of size, the finished model measures over 8 cm tall or about 3 inches, 29 cm long or roughly 11 inches, and 13 cm wide or about 5 inches. It is big enough to feel substantial, small enough to fit comfortably on a shelf, and light enough to survive plenty of high-speed desk racing.
Key specs and features include 771 pieces, functional steering, a detailed W16 engine, opening doors and hood, ASPHALT LEGENDS game integration, and dimensions of 29 cm by 13 cm by 8 cm, or 11 by 5 by 3 inches.
