This is a New Holland T7.185, and it comes from previous bloggee Keko007 who has constructed it brilliantly from bricks. Blending Technic, System, and studs-not-on-top techniques, Keko’s New Holland is as detailed as models three times its size, with presentation to match the build quality too. It proves you don’t require a million pieces to create something wonderful (and blog-worthy), and you can head to Keko’s farm on Flickr to check it out via the link in the text above.
This splendid Speed Champions creation is a 1970s Porsche 911 Targa, and – being yellow – we can’t help but think of an iconic (if ropey) 1980s movie car chase.
Previous bloggee SFH_Bricks is its maker and you can try to outrun Arnold Schwarzenegger in a Sunbeam Alpine in your miraculously self-damaging / self-healing Porsche 911 via the link above.
Oh how we want to hate ‘F1: The Movie’. From its stupid name, to its cliched plot (old guy comes out of retirement for one last shot at glory), to the fact it is basically one giant advert for F1…
Except, it seems like it might – annoying – be rather good.
Currently with an 83% Rotten Tomatoes score, ‘F1: The Movie’ used real cars (modified F2 machines) and real tracks to create a film that takes the audience as close to being in the car as possible, even if the main protagonist being sixty years old is pushing the believability to breaking point.
Cue this fantastic recreation of the fictional team at the heart of the story, ‘APX GP’, as created beautifully in brick form by NV Carmocs of Flickr. A stunning livery perfectly captures the ‘real’ car, and you can head to the cinema, um… race track via the link above, where nearly a dozen images are available to view. Even if you’re sixty.
This fantastically-shaped space racer was discovered by one of our Elves on Flickr, and it utilises one of LEGO’s rarest colours, making its tessellated composition even more difficult. But we can’t stop thinking it looks like a walrus’s face, which probably isn’t what builder The One And Only Mr.R had in mind.
Still, we’ve written the title now, thus you can head into space via the link above and try to un-see the head of a large marine mammal…
Do you wear a mullet, loiter in alleyways chewing toothpick, and think that recycling is a socialist plot? Then we have the car for you!
This glorious black-and-gold 1977 Pontiac Trans Am is the work of previous bloggee RGB900, and – despite being just 8-suds wide – captures every identifier of the real car brilliantly bar a flaming bird motif on the hood.
There’s more to see at RGB’s photostream, and you can make the jump to it via the link above. Mullet optional.
Well this is a lovely thing isn’t it? An early-’70s Ford F-250 ‘Highboy’ tow truck, Sseven Bricks‘ creation is as humble a workhorse as you can get. Yet here, in Lego form, it’s one of the most beautifully life-like small-scale models we’ve seen in ages. Top-tier building techniques create some exquisite details (just look at that tiny gap between the cab and the bed) and you can take a closer look at Sseven’s superbly presented creation at his photostream via the link.
If you’re in the market for a Maserati you’re likely to be the sort of customer who’s willing to overlook wildly variable panel gaps, wobbly interior stitching, haphazard ergonomics, and intermittent electric faults because of one thing; the engine.
Usually a shared with Ferrari, the soul of a Maserati is what’s under the hood, so you’d have to be a unique customer to decide you’d like a car with Maserati build quality, but without a Maserati engine to off-set it. Cue the GranTurismo Folgore, which swaps Maserati’s ‘Nettuno’ twin-turbocharged V6 for three permanent magnet radial motors and a 92kWh battery.
With an additional 200bhp over its petrol twin, 0-60mph in under three seconds, and capable of over 200mph, the GranTurismo Folgore has been a sales… disaster. So much so that Maserati have cancelled the ‘Folgore’ version of their MC20 supercar. Because if you want a Maserati you want one with an engine.
Which means the only Maserati GranTurismo Folgore we’re ever likely to see is this one, built by Flickr’s 3D supercarBricks, and replicating both the gorgeous looks and non-existent sound of the real car perfectly. The doors, trunk, and hood open, there are more superb images available to view, and you can take a look at 3D’s photostream via the link above.
Yoga-practicing, vegan-dieting, top-knot-wearing bus / camper life douchebags are everywhere. Well, as long as everywhere has good WiFi, so they can upload their latest ‘adventure’ to their followers. Urgh.
We try to avoid such content of course, but so too would we steer clear of the owner of this battered ’70s Dodge B100 van and Shasta trailer. Decidedly un-Instagram friendly, we suspect its inhabitant’s diet would be more road-kill than ethnic-peace-crisps, and healing crystals would be swapped for actual, um… actual crystal.
Which leads neatly on to today’s second dodgy camper, a Dodge-based ’77 Winnebago that’s almost guaranteed to be a meth lab. An update to his previously blogged ‘Minnie Winnie’, 1saac W. is the builder of both recreational vehicles, and you can head to the abandoned parking lot on the edge of town to check them out via the link above.
Longstanding readers of The Lego Car Blog will know that our workforce of mythical Elves have a penchant for extreme violence, which is normally manifested by squashing one-another with the vehicles they find.
Constructed by previous bloggee Keko007, this Hamm 3412 HT road-roller looks perfect for that task. However despite Keko’s creation being hyper realistic it’s actually rather smaller than it first appears, thus there’s no remote control motorisation going on here. Hooray! There’s more of the model to see on Flickr, including a wider set of construction vehicles that accompanies it, and you can roll on over via the link above.
And if you’re disappointed that there’s no Elven squishery today; firstly you don’t have tidy up afterwards, but this ought to satisfy your own penchant for extreme violence with a steam roller…
Why is it depictions of aliens are always little green-ish grey men with big black eyes? Answer us that Science. Anyway, this little green man is not the standard depiction of an otherworldly being, but a simple vintage tractor by the now-truck company MAN.
Christoph Ellermann is the builder behind it, and he’s constructed it beautifully. Pictured atop its full-size counterpart there’s more to see at Christoph’s photostream. Click the link above to visit Area 51 and take a closer look…
“Why don’t you post digital creations?” we get asked here at TLCB. Well mostly it’s because they rarely look like this.
These two spectacular ’59 Cadillacs come from serial bloggee 1saac W., who has put down his real pieces to painstakingly build each design in Studio before rendering it in Blender. As you can see here, the results look phenomenal, with ingenious parts choices and some deeply complex ‘SNOT’ techniques used in their creation.
Inevitably AI will soon be producing ‘Lego’ creations by the thousand that look like this, so enjoy the talent in these two at 1ssac’s photostream by clicking these words. These Caddies may be digital, but they’re no less magnificent for it.
*Today’s slightly butchered but nevertheless excellent title song.
At the time of writing, everything BMW makes (and it’s a rather long list) is a very expensive, very heavy, overly powerful, visual assault. BMW’s tagline might still be “The Ultimate Driving Machine”, but their cars sure aren’t.
Which is why today we’re travelling back to the late-’60s to early-’70s, when BMW made joyous cars such as this, the fantastic 02-Series.
This one is a two-door 2002, being powered by BMW’s then-new ‘M10’ engine making between 100 and 120bhp. It was a peach of an engine too, becoming one of the first to offer fuel injection and turbocharging, and in production for a quarter of a century. It was also developed into BMW’s 1980s F1 engine, making an unbelievable 1,400bhp in qualifying trim…
But back the 2002, and this lovely Speed Champions scale example comes from The G Brix of Flickr, who’s captured the sporty compact sedan beautifully in brick form. There’s more to see at G’s photostream, and you can jump back to when BMW did indeed make “The Ultimate Driving Machine” (and not whatever this is supposed to be) via the link above.
Bugatti aren’t just Veyrons and Chirons. A century ago they made some of most luxurious cars in the world, including this, the excellently named Type 50 T Ventoux Coupé Superprofilé. This 7-wide example comes from previous bloggee ER0L and you can jump back to peak 1930s long-named luxury via the link above.
After years of limited entries, Le Mans’ ‘Hypercar’ class exploded to over twenty entrants in 2025. The newest team to join the top tier of endurance racing is Aston Martin, who – uniquely – entered with the ‘road’ car based Valkyrie.
Powered by a naturally-aspirated V12 Cosworth engine (actually detuned in the race car to meet maximum power regulations), the Valkyrie was run by the Anglo-Amercian ‘The Heart of Racing’ team, and performed… not brilliantly. But both cars did finish, and ahead of a couple of Hypercar entries including a Toyota, two BMWs, two Cadillacs, a Peugeot, and a disqualified Ferrari.
This excellent Speed Champions recreation of the Aston Martin AMR-LMH Valkyrie comes from prolific Le Mans builder SFH_Bricks, it features a brilliant replication of the real car’s racing livery, and you can get to the heart of racing via the link above.
The Lego Car Blog Elves are currently stomping around the office making ‘Rhaaagh!’ noises, which definitely isn’t annoying.
Flickr’s Jerry Builds Bricks is the cause of our migraine, thanks to his (excellent) Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler, complete with the movie’s iconic red-and-grey-camo, spotlights, a winch for not-being-eaten-by-velociraptors, and one of those weird looped aerials.
There’s more to see at Jerry’s photostream and you can… uh… find a way… via the link above.
