According to the design professionals at the 36th Festival Automobile Internationale in Paris, the Bugatti Bolide was the most beautiful hypercar on earth, in 2021. With a thunderous 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 churning out 1,824 hp (1,360 kW/1,849 PS), it is perhaps not surprising that this showstopping car costs €4 million ($4.2 million USD at current exchange rates). Now, though, there’s a slightly more budget-friendly way to own 2021’s most beautiful hypercar.
Lego and Bugatti announced today that the 905-piece Bugatti Bolide Technic Speed Champions set is now available for $49.99 in the U.S. That means that there’s a way to own a piece of the French hypercar’s essence and it costs just 0.0011 percent as much as the real deal.
And for that, you get a stunningly-rendered scale Lego model of the car that very effectively captures its technical excess and is three-inches (8 cm) tall, 12-inches (31 cm) long, and five-inches (13 cm) wide. In addition to the black and yellow color-scheme, it features stickers to match the decals on the real car, including the X-motifs on the wheel-arch-mounted air vents.
The kit also features true-to-life details, like a working steering wheel, scissor doors, and a moving W16 engine. In addition, it features the Bolide’s hood scoop, and it’s X-shaped taillights, to round out the look.
“I am very excited about this new model. Our Lego Technic designers have done an amazing job capturing the details of this extreme Bugatti design,” said Niels Henrik Horsted, Head of Product LEGO Technic & Speed Champions. “With Lego bricks you can build anything you can imagine, and with LEGO Technic elements, you can build for real. I’ve always been passionate about engineering, and this model’s details and design are absolutely fascinating—I can’t wait to start building it myself.”

Although it’s made up of 905-pieces, Lego says that the kit is suitable for builders ages nine and up. On-sale now in most markets, this Bugatti Bolide kit is a fantastic way to start the new year in style.
