Bugatti and Lego have collaborated to produce a 291-piece Centodieci Speed Champions model.
The actual Chiron-based Centodieci was limited to just 10 units, making it extremely exclusive.
The manufacturer claims this model will inspire the next generation of Bugatti fans.
All Bugattis are unique in their own way, but the Chiron-based Centodieci, revealed in 2019, stands out as one of the brand’s most remarkable and valuable limited-edition cars released in the last ten years. With only 10 units available globally and inspired by the EB110, the Centodieci is a vehicle that only billionaires can buy. However, now the everyday person can own a piece of Bugatti heritage.
A Miniature Centodieci for Everyone
Bugatti has teamed up with Lego to create a Speed Champions edition of the Centodieci. This new model could be ideal for any Bugatti aficionado in your life who can’t afford to pay over $10 million for the actual car.

The miniature Bugatti consists of 291 pieces and measures 6 inches (15 cm) in length, 2.5 inches (7 cm) in width, and 1.5 inches (4 cm) in height. Since this is a Lego Speed Champions model, as opposed to a Lego Technic model, it is noticeably more blocky than the original vehicle, with some proportions slightly off.
Nonetheless, the Lego version incorporates many key elements of the Centodieci, such as the black rear wing and a piece resembling the five circular air vents situated behind the side windows. It also features a small Bugatti sticker to replicate the front emblem, the classic horseshoe grille, and a tiny set of wing mirrors.
Bugatti’s managing director, Weibke Stahl, considers it more than just a toy. “The Bugatti Centodieci is one of the most distinctive creations in our history, inspired by a cherished icon of the Bugatti legacy,” Stahl stated. “Through our partnership with the LEGO Group, we are enabling more people than ever to experience this remarkable car. It's a fantastic way to inspire the next generation of Bugatti fans and LEGO enthusiasts.”
The Lego Centodieci officially launched worldwide on August 1. In the US, it retails for only $26.99, a stark contrast to the eight-figure price of the full-sized version, and likely the only Bugatti that can sit on a shelf rather than in a climate-controlled garage.
