I know you’re out there, Lego fans. I know plenty of y’all also spent long hours of your childhood piecing together the luxury cars of your dreams long before you even knew how to read an RPM gauge, pretending your little Lego self was actually driving a super-sleek Ferrari. Well, boys and girls, Bugatti has decided…
Lego just officially unveiled its officially licensed kit of the James Bond Aston Martin DB5, complete with ejector seat, radio tracker and the works. When I first saw the kit leaked a couple of weeks ago, even I, a massive Bond fan, was disappointed. But it left me with one question.
The Aston Martin DB5, famed for its role as the car of choice for James Bond, and its handsome and elegant design, does not translate well in LEGO it turns out.
This is what Porsche calls the “Porsche Lego Big Brick 911 Turbo 3.0,” which is based off of a real car and has a name that’s just as complicated as most other real Porsche cars have. Porsche calls this Lego rendition “unique,” but all I can see when I look at it is a homicidal cartoon frog that’s also a battle car.
If you scroll down the “Speed Champions” motorsports section of Lego’s online shop, you’ll see far more plastic facial hair than ponytails or lipstick outlines. The ones with feminine features don’t tend to be in the starring role as the driver. That’s until you get to a red Ferrari with a wing that looks bigger than…
Lego’s Speed Champions line of sets already has an impressive roster of classic and contemporary race cars like the Bugatti Chiron and the original Ford GT40. According to Lego enthusiast site The Brothers Brick, Lego has expanded their garage to include at least nine new models.
I always imagined that working at McLaren was a fun gig. Today, this was confirmed when I saw the Lego 720S build video. Those bastards get to play with fast cars and sit around building Legos!
Little Lego engines with actual pistons and crankshafts that turn and move are one of the true simple joys of human life in the modern era. So, it just stands to reason that the best way to maximize that joy is to rev the crap out of these Lego engines until they blow apart. That’s how you get the most joy out of…
We seem to be in a golden age of automotive Lego, with Lego having deals with a number of carmakers, including Porsche, McLaren, Ford, Ferrari—it’s possible Lego has more licenses with automakers than some suppliers that make actual car parts. That wasn’t always the case, though. Decades ago, Lego’s car-based sets had…
If a lightweight and track-focused McLaren is what you want, then look away from this Lego 1:1 scale 720S because it is neither light nor would it hold up well in a crash. Indeed, it has no engine would be impossible to drive anyways.
YouTube user Attika has Legos, and is clearly not afraid to use them. In the past year, Attika has posted videos of some incredible automotive creations like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and a Lego Evo. Admittedly, many of the early builds are (still impressive) Lego kit creations. But this one leaves those builds in the…
Everyone loves Lego, right? Of course you do; you’re not some kind of monster. I’m sure that anyone who’s ever built a Lego car has wondered, at least in passing, say, wouldn’t it be great if I could just build a real car out of Lego? Just in case the weight and cost calculations didn’t wise you up about why that…
There are always fascinating ideas getting passed around as Lego Ideas proposals, but this one flew straight to our attention. Creator AbFab1974 chose to depict the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Evolution 2 Group B rally car in its natural habitat: catching some air.
We didn’t send anyone to the Chicago Auto Show because, well, frankly, what’s the point? Detroit was just last month, we’re all still cold from that, and no automakers are revealing anything of substance in the Windy City. Well, almost nobody! Volkswagen may have revealed their fifth reborn-Microbus concept at…
Is there no better toy for young kids (or adults) than Lego? That was a rhetorical question, of course—there isn’t. Until you step on one with bare feet. Now you can build two legendary Ford race cars, the iconic GT40 and current GT, without going broke!
I love it when people get creative with Lego. Weird and wonderful things often come out of it. The latest is this Lego Jeep Wrangler Rubicon concept.
I know there’s really gifted Lego-builders out there, but I admit, I’m fallible, and sometimes forget just how good some of these builders are. Then I see something like this Citroën 2CV made of studless Legos and it’s like getting slapped in the face with a bag of clanky, pointy Legos. Holy crap, is this thing…
Lego has had four-wheel fans covered for years with everything from model Caterhams to Fiat 500s. Now two-wheelers join in on the fun, too, with this 603-piece BMW R 1200 GS Adventure Technic set, per Autoblog. If you wanted “compact adventure,” this is truly as compact as it gets.
If you make your living by betting people what the largest (by number of bricks) Lego structure is, then I’m sure you know that the record goes to a colossal X-Wing fighter, made from 5,335,200 bricks. Well, did go to. It’s time to revise your data, because Land Rover has beaten that X-Wing with a Lego Tower Bridge…
