The verdict

This is the same brilliantly engineered Chiron Pur Sport as the orange-and-black 42222, just dressed in green and sold only through LEGO.com.

The W16 engine and that low, wide stance are what got me. For the price, you get one of the sharpest small-scale Technic supercars in a while. My only real hesitation is that if you already own the 42222, you are paying full RRP for a color swap and nothing else.

Best for: Technic fans who want a compact, mechanically clever hypercar and love the green over the orange.

The full review

What it is

I have a soft spot for the small Technic supercars, the ones that fit in one hand but still hide real machinery inside, and the Green Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport is one of the best of the bunch. It is the exact same 773-piece model as the orange-and-black 42222 that came out at the start of 2026, only now wearing a deep green shell and sold as a LEGO.com exclusive. What got me is how much LEGO packed into something this compact. You steer it with a little knob on the roof, the scissor doors swing up, the hood lifts, and underneath sits a W16 engine whose pistons actually rise and fall in sequence as the wheels turn. For a car you can display on a bookshelf, that is a lot of life.

The catch

There is a catch worth sitting with, though. Because this is a recolor and nothing more, the parts, the functions, and the instruction steps are word-for-word the same as the 42222. If you already own the orange one, there is genuinely no build reason to buy this, you would be paying full price for a green coat of paint. The exclusivity stings a little too. Since it only lives on LEGO.com, you will not stumble on it discounted at a third-party shop the way you might with the standard release. And builders of the 42222 flagged one small gripe I would expect here as well: the flexible hose that traces the door line has a habit of popping outward and needs a few firm bends inward to sit flush. None of this is a dealbreaker, but it is worth knowing before you click buy.

Who it's for

If you do not already have the Pur Sport and the green speaks to you more than the orange, this is an easy recommendation, it is a lovely mid-size Technic car that teaches you real gearing and engine ideas without ever feeling like homework. It is also a smart step-up set for a younger builder who has outgrown the tiny 100-piece vehicles but is not ready for a 3,000-piece monster. The people I would steer away are the ones who already own the 42222, and anyone who lives for brand-new engineering, because there is nothing here you have not seen if you have built the original. Everyone else gets a genuinely satisfying little hypercar.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this one is a nicely paced few hours. You start with the chassis and gearbox area, drop in the W16 engine block, then close it all up under the green panels, and the whole time there is that quiet Technic satisfaction of watching functions come alive as you connect them. The steering links up to the roof knob, the differential ties the engine to the rear axle, and by the end you are rolling it back and forth just to watch the pistons cycle. It is involved enough to feel like a real Technic build but never so fiddly that it becomes a chore, which is exactly the sweet spot for a set this size.

The headline parts are the small W16 cylinders, a mold LEGO introduced for this model and arranged in two Vs at different angles to mimic the real engine layout, which is a first for a Technic car. The green panels are the obvious draw here, giving you a whole run of body pieces in a shade you will not find in most other Technic sets, so parts collectors and MOC builders have a reason to look twice. There are only a handful of stickers, used to carry the black stripe across the body and mark the air intakes, and the real Chiron has no sponsor clutter so the finished car stays clean. For 773 pieces you are getting a dense, well-considered mix rather than filler.

Fun facts

01The W16 engine in this model was a first for LEGO Technic, using brand-new small cylinder pieces set in two Vs at different angles to copy the real Bugatti layout.
02This green version is a recolor of the orange-and-black 42222, which launched in January 2026, and grew out of a LEGO pilot that tested whether fans wanted alternate-color releases.
03Unlike the 42222, the Green Chiron is sold only through LEGO.com, making it the harder of the two to find on shelves.
04The real Chiron Pur Sport carries almost no sponsor logos, so LEGO kept the sticker sheet tiny, just the black stripe and the air intakes.
