The second set from the Lego Technic Ultimate Series will be created as part of this collaboration. ...LEGO: "after the success of the porsche gt3 rs it was important for us to find a partner with an iconic vehicle which is unique in the automotive industry, with bugatti we have achieved just that" ...BUGATTI: "we are very proud of the chiron and We are honored that there will now be a lego technic version of this exceptional supercar, and our designers and engineers have enjoyed working with the lego technic team and the result is an authentic replica of the chiron.

Jim Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Cool! Slight change of topic title, but this set warrants a dedicated topic. Quote

XAxles Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Is it bad that I'm expecting so much from this Chiron set? Like, you look at the Porsche now and see just a display piece with little in the way of motorization or standout features, and now there's this, a car of greater magnitude than the Porsche GT3RS in real life, so the feature list has got to have something that can make this set worth the asking price.

Seasider Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 So black and blue has to be the obvious colour scheme for this? do we think it’ll be all Technic or some brick builds to capture all the important shapes, side curves, rear light strip etc ? Quote
Dyen Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Are we sure that will be a new wheel hubs?? Wheel rims have pins, I know, but in the video is a moment, when it looks like the old one.. what do you think guys? Quote

Ok, was just wondering since Bugatti and Bentley are creme de la creme of automobile industry. and both have "W" configured engines like W16 can be seen on trailer that you posted. Perhaps you could port that video here to have all that in one place. Engine is magnificent and would fit perfectly in rounded rear part... I like steering wheel 1 minute ago, Seasider said: They are indeed :) I made the exact comment earlier sorry jim sorry I was to late but we get the point Quote
TeamThrifty Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 What this set needs to make it stand out, is what someone mentioned earlier - new 4wd hubs with bigger angle cv's or similar. Plus a special gearbox. For me, they have to do that to add a bit of Whiz-Bang.. being pretty isn't enough to cover the cost. Clever and pretty and wallets will open up for it! Quote

valenciaeric Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 No new hubs, guys. With the Porsche ones it is easy to make front drive, steering and suspension. Quote
Didumos69 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) The question will be: Did they learn from their mistakes or did they continue the line of miserable engineering set in by the Porsche? Then again, new rims with better offset and new hubs are always welcome. Edited January 30, 2018 by Didumos69 Quote
Thirdwigg Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 The hub at 0:14 in the video is the same rear hub as in the past. Coupled with 4185 Pulley wheel the old hub and new wheel can be connected. I'm not yet convinced of new hubs. Remember how excited we were at this point with 42056. I'm keeping my expectations low until I am proved otherwise. Quote

Timoonn Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 You are free to post screen capture of the video to show us this fancy new gearbox and hubs. Quote
Thirdwigg Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) That's the one. From the Lego Technic Facebook. Edited January 30, 2018 by Thirdwigg Quote

offroadcreations Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 In the video he is holding what looks like a gearbox, hopefully better then the Porsche's. Quote

The only other scenario I can imagine is that there are new hubs, but old ones were used in the teaser video to slow down certain copycats. Quote
