As a kid, did you ever imagine driving a car made by LEGO? It can be done, if you can get behind the wheel of a yellow Toyota Supra from Lego.
Every parent's worst nightmare and every child's dream comes true. LEGO built a life-size model of the Toyota Supra GR sports car with only 477.303 LEGO bricks.
The 1: 1 model results from a tripartite collaboration between LEGO Japan, LEGOLAND Japan and Toyota Gazoo Racing, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Toyota Supra.
According to the companies, the LEGO model needed 3.000 hours of development and an additional 2.400 hours of construction. It weighs 1.885 kg, which is only 200 kg more than the original, normal car (!!).
The impressive car is almost entirely made of bricks, but the wheels, the driver's seat, the steering wheel, the instrument cluster and the signal come from a real Supra. The lights work.
What makes it even better is that the car is really moving. You could really drive this LEGO car, thanks to its electric motor. However, you will not win any races, as it can reach a top speed of 28 km / h. Although this speed is higher than a European ebike, which does not exceed 25 km / h.
LEGO already has a history of making 1: 1 cars. He has already built a Lamborghini Sían FKP 37, one Honda Civic and a Bugatti, capable of moving at 12 km / h.
The car is on display at LEGOLAND Japan until October 11 and will later be on display at the Super GT car races. if again, you can not fly to Japan, you may be satisfied with this model.
