Lego Meets Bugatti Veyron 16.4, Delivers Complex Components

Shared via Google Reader - See the original post

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grandsport is one of the most beautifully designed cars on the market and now you can own your very own for a fraction of the cost! Just beware, it’s made out of Lego and it’s only a 1:8 scale, but at least it does have working parts.

The creation features a working sequential gearbox with 7+R speeds, offers a convertible top, and comes equipped with fully functioning progressive brakes, retractile spoiler and flap and a handbrake. All of those features are controlled by a single remote control.

The video below shows the Bugatti Lego creation in action, notice the end of the video in which the transmission is shifted between each of the seven gears using a rather complex gearbox setup, it’s one of the more impressive mechanics meets Lego builds I’ve ever seen.

Video after the break:

You’ll notice at the end of the video that the car also features rear while drive and each component flawlessly operates when turned on and off. Sure it’s not the same “cool” factor as an actual Bugatti Veyron, but it will still have your friends talking…it just may be about how geeky you are.
