First-time visitors to this website today may not have expected to see images of a Lego Ferrari on fire, but you’re here now so on with the show!

This is a Ferrari F355 Spider. Specifically it’s depicting the moment when the real car – owned by YouTuber ‘Hoovie’s Garage’ – decided to spray its power-steering fluid all over the hot engine, to a fiery conclusion. It’s not just new Ferraris that like to barbecue themselves.

Don’t feel too bad for the aforementioned YouTuber though, as he got some killer content (and he owns a lot of cars).

Back to the model, and Flickr’s StudWorks has done a superb job recreating the F355 both ‘before’ and ‘during’ in Speed Champions scale. There’s lots more of Stud’s superbly presented creation to see at his ‘Hoovie’s Garage Ferrari F355 Spider’ album via the link above, and if you’d like to see what happened to the real thing, you can take a look here…

Tiny Technic Supercar

Lego Technic Supercars need several things to qualify. Whilst they don’t actually need to be a supercar (as this brilliant FSO Polonez ‘Supercar’ that featured here a few years back proves), they do need a fully working drivetrain, steering, and suspension. This tends to make them rather large and often out of reach for more brick-strapped builders. Cue the current Eurobricks ‘Small Car’ contest, where builders are cramming a myriad of Technic functions into creations that must fit within strict dimensions to qualify.

This is one of our favourites so far, apachaiapachai‘s brilliant Ferrari F355. Capturing the look of the real car beautifully, apachai has also squeezed in a working miniature V8 engine driven by the rear wheels, pop-up headlights, and working steering too. It’s a gearbox and suspension short of being a bona-fide Technic Supercar, but it’s a stupendous build nonetheless. Head to Eurobricks to see more, where we think apachai’s creation will do very well in the contest indeed (and it would make a cracking official LEGO set).
