LEGO constructed a LEGO vehicle in the style of a Toyota Supra GR using 477,303 bricks to mark the sports car’s 35th anniversary. The car, which promises to delight LEGO fans and car enthusiasts alike, is a special treat, since it boasts the ability to actually drive as well, though it only reaches top speeds of 17mph, which leaves plenty of time for passersby to appreciate the intricacies of the model.
The life-size building block car features an outer shell that's made of real LEGO pieces, while other components such as the wheels, driver's seat, steering wheel and more were taken from a real vehicle. The 1:1 scale vehicle took more than 3,000 hours to develop and another few thousand to build.
