^Classy > Aggressive, for the most part. Besides the angle of the photo, the 2nd car's lack of contrast contributes to the stubbiness.

Except for the fact that it's hardly an 'S'UV. Imo, it drives much better than before but still quite horribly, even if you're not the racing type.

This Insane Life-Size Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron Is Drivable
Power comes from 2,304 Lego Technic motors, which produce 5.3 horsepower.
Growing up, I used Legos to build replicas of the cars I loved. Limited in pieces, skill, and patience, they often ended up looking like cartoon cars come to life – mismatched colors, squared proportions, and a wobbly wheel or two. But Lego Technic, a line of plastic rods and parts, takes things a step further. The sets, introduced in 1977, allowed for more elaborate creations, eventually spawning kits such as the iconic Aston Martin DB5 from James Bond, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and the Bugatti Chiron. But a scaled-down model of the Chiron wasn’t enough for Lego Technic. The company went ahead and built a life-size, drivable version of the Bugatti Chiron made from Lego Technic pieces. The similarities between it and the real thing are striking.
The full-scale model uses over 1 million Lego Technic pieces. The exterior features interconnected triangular segments that make up an outer skin structure, mimicking the shape of the real Chiron. Move inside, and Lego pieces recreate the Chiron’s interior in detail. The dash, seats, and steering wheel are all there. The car features a rear spoiler, speedometer, front and rear lights, and a brake pedal. Development and construction took 13,438 hours.
While the Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron looks cool, it moves under its own power, too. No, it can’t achieve the real Chiron’s 261 mph (420 kph) to speed. The Technic creation comes with 2,304 motors, 4,032 gear wheels, and 2,016 cross axles all sourced from Lego Technic, generating a theoretical 5.3 horsepower and an estimated 67 pound-feet (92 Newton-meters) of torque. That propels 3,306-pound (1,500-kilogram) Lego Chiron up to just over 12 mph (20 kph). It’s not supercar speeds, but still impressive.
The Lego Technic Bugatti Chiron is an engineering feat. It’s the first fully-functional self-propelled life-size Lego Technic car ever. It’s also the first non-glued model of such complexity, according to the toy brick builder. There’s no glue residue here. To complete the look, the Lego Chiron comes with real Chiron wheels and emblem.
As Andy Wallace said, the driver behind the wheel of the Lego Chiron and former racing driver, “From about 20 meters away it’s not obvious that you are looking at a Lego car.” We agree.
