Results: Life-size LEGO car that actually drives

Source: Slash Gear. This may be the coolest LEGO project ever made. LEGO has taken real LEGO Technic parts and used those parts to construct a life-size and drivable replica of the Bugatti Chiron. This is the first large-scale movable construction that was developed using over a million Technic elements and powered using LEGO Power Function platform. The replica has 2,304 motors and 4,032 LEGO Technic gear wheels. Are you familiar with this story?

The engine inside the car makes 5.3hp so it's not exactly going to go as fast as the real thing. The estimated torque output of the ride is 92Nm. The LEGO car and the real thing look impressively like each other, even when sitting side-by-side. LEGO says that all the details of the car are created using Technic elements from seats, to dash, to the steering wheel. The outer shape of the car is made using interconnected triangular segments to create a LEGO Technic fabric. After the build was complete LEGO took its Chiron to the same track where Bugatti tests and sent the car off. Are you surprised to read that the Bugatti Chiron is actually drive-able?

LEGO made several firsts for this build. This is the first fully-functional, self-propelled LEGO Technic car. The first transparent Technic bricks are used in this car. This is also the first-time load-bearing parts were built purely out of LEGO. Lastly: Did you ever play with Legos when you were a child (or even as an adult)?
