LEGO Speed Champions is one of my favorite series from the house of the brick builder. The collaborative LEGO sets under this series are unmatchable, and motorheads like me just wait for the next to arrive on he shelves. In the past, the Speed Champions have had our team with the McLaren MCL37 model, left us in awe of the Ferrari SF-24 Formula 1 car, and bettered it all with the complete 2024 Formula-1 Series.
Now, The LEGO Group has recreated the multi-million dollar Bugatti Centodieci hyper sports car that is 20 kg lighter than the Chiron. According to Bugatti Managing Director, Wiebke Stahl, the scaled-down car model “captures the unmistakable character of the full-scale hypercar and incorporates many of its defining features in intricate detail. Thanks to our collaboration with the LEGO Group, more people than ever before can experience this extraordinary car. It is a wonderful way to inspire the next generation of Bugatti enthusiasts and LEGO builders.”

The 1,600 hp W16-powered Centodieci is a very rare hypercar with only 10 currently existing. Putting it together in LEGO brick form is going to be an exciting activity over the weekends. Just that you know, the hypercar entered production in 2021 and delivered the last unit in December 2022, it is that rare. This LEGO replica, measuring just over 6.0 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches tall, is somewhere between a 1:28 and 1:32 scale model. The level of detailing done by the LEGO team is commendable, with features of the car mirrored perfectly. These include the razor-sharp headlights, horseshoe grille, overhanging rear wing, aggressive rear diffuser, and the pair of tailpipes on each rear end.
This one replicates the final build of the car done in Quartz White with black accents. Those wheels are done exactly as the real ones on the Centodieci, which makes the set event more juicy. Talking of the interior, it is also a spitting image of the real thing with blue accents defining the inside build. Compared to the real model that was built over quite a few months and cost millions, this LEGO build can be put together in a matter of minutes if you follow the instructions carefully. Once put together, the Speed Champions model can be sported on a stand or placed on your desk or shelf like any other miniature car.
To complement the detailed Bugatti Centodieci set, LEGO has added a minifigure of an upmarket lady. The 291-piece Speed Champions set has launched globally on August 1 for $27 from the official LEGO website and at LEGO Stores. For a LEGO collector and motorhead, this is a no-brainer, since your Speed Champions collection is going to shine with the Centodieci in the middle.
