This was my first Technic build, and as an adult let me tell you this kit was REALLY fun to put together. It took me 8 days of building multiple hours per day to complete, and I enjoyed every minute of it (well, except for the minute I realized I had built the spoiler assembly incorrectly about 30 pages after the fact and had to dismantle the rear of the car to fix it, LOL!). It's definitely addicting and satisfying! And even though I had seen many pictures and videos of it before purchasing, it didn't strike me how LARGE this model is until I had it in front of me. That's a good thing!
As for reviewers claiming they had pieces missing, let me just say that not a single piece was missing from mine and I had a good number of extra pieces (mainly small connectors and such) at the end. There were a few times where I started to panic thinking a piece was missing, but then realized that I had just overlooked it in the sea of small pieces (often because the piece was standing on its side or hidden under another piece). Once I literally stared at my trays of pieces for 2-3 minutes before spotting the "missing" piece.
I do agree with the reviewers that say the doors are a bit cheap feeling in light of the quality of the rest of the build. I'm not sure why they couldn't have stabilized the hinge area further and also made it so the door stops flush instead of being able to push it too far in. I'm sure if you have a store of Technic pieces, though, you could come up with something on your own to do this. I also agree with those that say the front end could do with fewer "gaps," but it's honestly not that bad. One thing I haven't seen mentioned that I thought was peculiar is why the steering wheel wasn't flat-bottomed like in the actual Chiron.
But none of these minor complaints warrant taking away a star. This was definitely worth the money, and I couldn't help but also buy the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. My suggestion is to take your time while building this and frequently closely compare what you have in your hand to the illustrations to be sure every piece is oriented correctly and every connection is in place before you get too far ahead.

Fun and difficult to build.
This Lego set was fun to build from the beginning to the end. The instructions are somewhat challenging to read, and I did mess up a few times which caused me to break it apart in certain areas to fix them. Unfortunately for my Lego set, I was given the wrong piece for the decoration of the car. Some of the pieces that I was given didn't seem to be a part of the set, but thankfully I have spare parts that I used to finish. I was not given the two books that were supposed to be included. I was also only given just the instructions. When I opened the box, the setup was a bit unorganized. With that said, I still enjoyed making it and having it as a decoration for my room. I have also purchased a poster board to be hung on the wall; I'm still waiting on that at the moment. If you see the image of the top of the car, one side is missing the blue edge, almost like a wing from an air plane. I was given the same piece that is already on the side of it, and not the opposite piece.

Words of my husband:
Though expensive, the Lego Bugatti is a joy and experience to craft and build; if this duplicates automotive engineering than both the car and Lego designers are pure geniuses, and you learn to respect the design as you build. This is a fun project to zone out on and do a couple hours at a time here and there. The packaging itself is pristine and professional, everything is arranged and categorized beautifully to where you can plan it out. Without spoiling too much, there are two(!) manuals to building this beast! And the manuals themselves are full of photos and art and footnotes from the designers. Though the exterior is very flashy, my favorite parts to build were the engine, vastly complex transmission, and gearbox; and the way these all fit together seamlessly will blow your mind if you're into design and engineering at all. I rarely had trouble or difficulty, but definitely check twice before connected (measure twice, cut once, as a previous reviewer said) as there were a couple times I had to retrace my steps; the car is designed as some parts you make at the beginning will have no purpose until later, and it is just MAGNIFICENT how they all fit together purposely. I also had no missing or flawed pieces, my kit came with about 20 extra pieces actually! (Probably a later print). I really enjoyed my time with this, something best done late at night with some vibey music in the background, unwinding from work. 10/10 recommend, would buy again! I intend on checking out the other kits such as the newer Lamborghini, the Porsche, or the Land Rover.
