DLuders Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 On his website, Cypr-21 posted details about his Lego Technic Bugatti Type 21 supercar. It is inspired by the Bugatti Type 41 supercar from 1930. He wrote, "Yes, I called it "Bugatti Type 21″. There is not any mistakes. It is not a reproduction [of the Type 41]; I did not respect the proportions and real mechanics. "The model is mainly black and gray. Black for the main color, light gray to translate chrome. The wheel arches are painted light gray pearl, which gives a shiny appearance to the car. * I respected the shape of the car. * I chose black for three reasons: the first is that this type of car was quite dark, the second is to leave the usual red, and the third is to do a wink for 8880′s fans. "[The] Rear is composed of two panels (black panels from 8275). They make a good shape for this car. "There is the steering of the front axle with the steering wheel. No need to HOG [Hand of God steering]; the handling is good and easy to access. There is a reduction (16/20), then a 8t on a small rack. * Then the propulsion: the rear axle drives the long L8 engine with a 3-speed box as the original model, except that the original was a box bridge and then the box is located near the driver. "Reports are: first speed 12/20, second speed 1, third speed 24 / 8 – 12/20. The model has no suspensions because no place to integrate them. However (and this is probably the weak point of moc) the frame is sufficiently flexible to handle shocks. Finally, the bonnet and the door can be opened. In conclusion, I enjoyed built the car. Far from reaching perfection, I like the model. I hope you enjoy it too." This shows the gearbox controlling the L-O-N-G, motorized inline-8 engine: Quote
