‘Supercar’ is something of a blurry definition in the real world. With cars becoming ever quicker, what was once supercar-performance can now be had in a hatchback. And then there are hypercars, which make supercar-performance look like it belongs in a hatchback anyway.

In the LEGO Technic world things are simpler. Here a ‘supercar’ can be any car, fast or slow, provided it has a minimum set of features. These models can of course be, er… supercars, like the Technic sets 8880, 8448, or the latest Porsche and Bugatti licensed models, but they could also be far more humdrum.

Previous bloggee Thirdwigg (aka Wigboldy) has pitched his Technic Supercar somewhere in the middle, being a 6-cylinder sports sedan. Thirdwigg’s creation meets all of the Technic Supercar pre-requisites, with a complete drivetrain made up of a 6-cylinder boxer engine, a working gearbox and rear wheel drive, plus fully independent suspension on all wheels and working steering.

There’s much more to see of Thirdwigg’s Technic Sports Sedan on Brickshelf, Flickr, and at his website, where there are instructions available too. Take a look via the links.
