It’s T-Time here at The Lego Car Blog, because we have two fabulous Ford Model-T hot rods to share. Each is the work of regular bloggee _Tiler, and include a pull-back motor concealed within for added floor-based fun. There’s more to see at _Tiler’s photostream, and you can pull-back and let-go 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.
Um… well this is… Ok, it’s a… well there’s a school bus, and a Metroliner, and a truck atop a V10 boat engine, and, um… Perhaps it’s just best if you visit Renuad Petit Lego‘s Flickr album. There’s no explanation there either, but it’s probably better that way.
Ram (noun); a male sheep.
Ram (verb); to forcefully push something.
Although the latter may well be derive from the former (see here. And here. And definitely here). Anyway, today we have both forms of the word, thanks to Teo LEGO Technic‘s RAM 1500 pick-up, and – more irritatingly – the Elf that found it.
Powered by a BuWizz and two Buggy Motors, Teo’s Technic pick-up features four-wheel-drive, all-wheel suspension (independent up front and live-axle at the rear), and a high/low gearbox, which – when combined – make a for a model that is really very fast indeed.
Of course it didn’t take the Elf at the controls long to take advantage of that, using Teo’s Ram to, well… ram into anything it could. Mostly its co-workers. In high gear on the flat of the office corridor our Elves were no match for the RAM’s speed, meaning we now have some tidying up to do and some Elven first-aid to administer.
Whilst we get on with that you can check out more of Teo’s excellent RAM 1500 at the Eurobricks forum via the link above, where full build details and a video are available, plus you can check out the model’s complete image gallery on Bricksafe by clicking here.
This unusual looking vehicle is a classic Chevrolet C30 pick-up, outfitted with a camper top, a dually rear axle (with LEGO’s weirdest wheels), suicide rear doors, and dropped to a completely impractical height. There’s also complete cabin and camper interior, an inline-6 Cummins engine, and an enormous amount of openings, including cabin doors, camper rear door, hood, and even fridge. Flickr’s Tim Inman owns the mind behind it and you can head to Camp Custom 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.
Oh… you already did. Well if there’s a car worth bringing a trailer for, the monstrous Metro 6R4 is it.
Loosely based on the oft-derided but actually phenomenally successful Austin/Rover/MG Metro, the all-wheel-drive, mid-engined 6R4 was developed by Williams Grand Prix Engineering for Group B rallying in the mid-1980s.
The result was… wild, so wild that the engine later went into the Jaguar XJ220, the fastest production car in the world at the time, with the 6R4 becoming an icon in rallycross after the demise of Group B rallying in 1986.
This fantastic homage to the 6R4 was found by one of our Elves on Eurobricks and comes from midlife crisis, making their TLCB debut. A highly detailed engine and interior plus a superb period-correct livery and sponsorship feature, and you can take a closer look at the maddest Rover ever made at the Eurobricks forum via the link above.
Yes, we know it’s been days since we last published anything, but our Elves found nothing that met our Submission Guidelines. Today though, thanks to a reader, if you’re a Lego tractor fan, we have three!
They’re all variants of the Johne Deere 8R Series, outfitted with two tracks, four tracks, and four wheels. Each comes from previous bloggee Reddish Blue, and not only are they superbly built and presented, they feature some neat working functions too, including a mechanically raising rear hitch and a working power-take-off driven by the tracks or wheels, depending on the configuration.
There’s more to see at Reddish Blue’s photostream, and you can go farming via the link.
Despite this site’s home nation mocking the French military for some eighty years, it is in fact one of the most formidable in the world. This is one of the reasons why, the Dassault Rafale fighter.
In operation since the turn of the millennium, the Rafale remains one of the most advanced fighters in the world, capable of air supremacy, ground strike, ship strike, and carrying France’s nuclear deterrent.
Entirely engineered and constructed in France, around three-hundred Rafales have been produced to date, operating across nine air forces. This one comes from previous bloggee John C. Lamarck, and as well as being superbly detailed includes an opening cockpit, adjustable canards, accurate landing gear, and an array of armaments.
There’s more of the model to see at John’s ‘Rafale’ album on Flickr, and you can fly there 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.
LEGO have released a wonderful array of Icons vehicles to date. And the Transformers Bumblebee. But this is the coolest. Because it’s a Cobra.
Constructed from 1,241 pieces, the brand new Lego Icons 10357 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C brings one of the most famous Anglo-American collaborations to the Icons range, at it looks excellent.
Opening doors, hood and trunk, working steering, a fully kitted toolbox, and the Shelby’s iconic twin stripes (courtesy of some stickerage) all feature, as does a detailed replica of the huge Ford V8 that Shelby squeezed under the hood of the little AC Ace in the 1960s to create the Cobra.
Priced around £140 / $160, 10357 is surely going to be one of – perhaps the – most popular Icons sets yet, and you’ll be able to get your hands on it from July 1st. Alternatively, if you fancy turning one of your existing sets into Shelby’s monstrous ’60s sports car, take a look here.
It’s truck time here at The Lego ‘Car’ Blog, because we’re six, and we like big trucks. This one comes from _Electro_ of Eurobricks, and captures the Peterbilt 352 ‘cab-over’ brilliantly in brick form. LEGO Power Functions components provide remote control drive, steering, and a fifth-wheel trailer hitch, there’s working suspension, and building instructions are available too if you’d like to recreate it for yourself. Head over to the Eurobricks discussion forum for full details, imagery, and the instructional link.
Writing for The Lego Car Blog is mostly a happy thing. Occasionally however, it isn’t, and with much sadness this is one of those times.
Multiple bloggee, TLCB Master MOCer, and one of the most talented vehicle builders anywhere in the world, has placed his last piece.
Famed for his spectacular historic Formula 1 cars, Luca Rusconi, aka RoscoPC, was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident just outside of his hometown Milan. Aged 54, he leaves behind his wife, three children, and a Lego Community that will miss him terribly.
His incredible Lego work remains on Flickr, his website, and via archives such as our own, and we encourage you to take a look – we have no doubt it will forever be amongst the finest ever built.
Writing for The Lego Car Blog is much like being in a rock band. Fame, groupies, easy access to drugs and liquor… whilst we get precisely none of those, we do earn $0.0001 every time someone consumes our work. Which means we get paid just like artists do on Spotify.
The future of music is therefore looking bleak (and even more so with AI), but for the tiny fraction of musicians who do make it to the top, there is the promise of traveling the world in a flame-painted truck. Plus fame, groupies, and easy access to drugs and liquor.
Cue this magnificently rendered ‘Flame Tourer’ truck by László Torma, which contains everything a touring rock band needs to put on a moderately-profitable show! Instruments, sound and lighting equipment, and a stage all fit inside – accessed via opening doors and a removable roof – plus there’s a bar and bunk beds for the aforementioned liquor and groupies too.
There’s lots more of László’s creation to see at both Eurobricks and Flickr, and you can join the band on tour via the links above!
Sounding like a whimsical children’s book, today’s post captures two sub-cultures of the car community superbly in Lego form. A brilliant Chevrolet Impala lowrider and rat rod couple, both come from previous bloggee ER0L, and you can take a closer look at this delightfully odd animal pairing on Flickr via the link.
