The Technic Video ...

Nice find! It clearly shows the W-shaped engine and I think a sequential gearbox like the 42056 has been confirmed: The part which is being picked up by the hand is similar to the mechanism in the Porsche.

The springs seem to be attached to the chassis directly, so ride height adjustment is not likely.

Aurelien Rouffiange !!! Not Uwe Wabra !!!

WOW !!!

I have always been under the impression that this guy isn't as prestigious or high-ranking as Uwe or Markus as he so far only designs small models and motorbikes... His biggest creation so far is the 42055 B model Mobile Aggregate Processing Plant.

But to think that he'd take up such a massive set :O :O :O

Well I am very excited for the 3600 piece Bugatti Chiron 

Its going to be the most expensive Technic set yet - but its got a huge number of components comparable to most flagship sets. BWE still being the most ? Just under 4000 parts. Feeling excited thats for sure.

Wheels with pins? So we will get ANOTHER wheel hub? Like they cannot decide which one to use... I think that the increased part count would be used for system-parts shaping

[allanp]

According to Twitter feed there was a slight decline but city and TECHNIC run well. YAY for Technic!

I was supposed to save money for marriage next year. THANK YOU LEGO. 

I just can’t wait to see the final product now.

I could be wrong, but doesn't it look like there is difference in width between the front and rear tires?

[therealjustin]

Yes!!!!!! I'm so excited!

But remember, the bwe came with many spare parts for digging and an added dump truck, so many parts not used in the main build.

Seems to me also. They are the same Porsche tires, just new rims.

42083 Chiron in 1:8 Scale 3599 parts. Black & Dark Azure. 

Maybe it's already not a news but no time to read throug the topic.

The W engine design from the video seems a little too basic for me. Very surprised by the pins in the wheels. They are going in the wrong direction by making wheels and hubs more proprietary, first with the 911, now with this. Hmmmm.

This opens up the possibility of functional diskbrakes... You'll have at least 1 stud deep of solid cilinder that turns with the wheel...

Looking forward to seeing this in the Plastic (seen it in the Metal)

Can I be the first to point out that Porsche and Bugatti are the same family ... just hope they continue this trend as I'd love a model of the cars I work on ;)

 

[efferman]

unfortunately no real new technic to see

Could be.

Interesting, for what reason there are two assimetrical grooves between pins

At least, soemthing (if not all car), will be in that light grey, because behind steering wheel there is light grey panel 2x5, so not only chassis, as seen in video.
