1st-ever life-size LEGO® Technic Bugatti Chiron to make North American debut
LEGO: 'Rev up your creativity & imagination at the LEGO I Love Cars Experience'
TORONTO, Feb. 11, 2019 /CNW/ – Canadian car fans of all ages are the first in North America to have the chance to get up close to an engineering masterpiece, as the only LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron in the world makes its North American debut at the Canadian International Auto Show Feb. 15 – 24, 2019 in Toronto.
Made of more than one million elements, the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron took 13,438 hours to construct by a team of 16 specialists and not a single drop of glue was used.
This super car is a testament that with LEGO Technic you can build for real. Seen from a distance side by side, the resemblance of the two cars is striking. Peek inside and discover that every single detail of the original car has been carefully and precisely recreated in LEGO Technic elements – from seats, to dashboard, to steering wheel.
“This life-size model is a first of its kind in so many ways and with it, we wanted to push the boundaries of our own imagination. For more than 40 years, LEGO Technic has allowed builders to use their creativity in a way that challenges them to build beyond the design and engineer new functions,” said Lubor Zelinka, Design Manager, LEGO® Retail Model Production.
LEGO I Love Cars Experience

This experience can be shared online using #ILoveLEGOCars. Fans can extend their creative building at home by shopping a large selection of LEGO cars and more at the Toys”R”Us Canada pop-up shop.
