★ FINAL VERDICT

Should you buy the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron 42083?

The LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron 42083 is the 3,599-piece LEGO Technic set that builds a functioning Bugatti scale model. The functional W16 engine has 16 moving pistons, the 8-speed sequential gearbox shifts with rocker switches, the suspension has individual springs at each wheel, the rear wing deploys via a control on the cockpit, and the build itself takes 14-20 hours. The trade is the price (real money for a LEGO set) and storage requirement for the 25-inch finished model.
