Tuner Special: 2009 Lego Camaro
This is a 2009 Chevrolet Camaro built entirely out of Legos.
That's one way to get a new model in advance of the release date.
For those not familiar with the current Lego product line, these are the relatively more sophisticated Lego Technic pieces.
The same person who built this '09 Camaro also made Lego versions of the Ferrari Enzo, a '67 Mustang, a Ferrari F430 engine and several others. Have a look at the Brickshelf Web site.
ENFIELD, Connecticut — Who doesn't love to build with Legos? But this is far beyond the normal range of the amateur: A person using the Internet alias "Crowkillers" has created a 2009 Chevrolet Camaro intricately designed completely out of Lego bricks. Pictures were recently posted on Brickshelf.com, showing the car fully equipped with a sporty paint job and even a six-speed transmission.
Crowkillers utilized the advanced Lego Technic pieces in an attempt to replicate the smooth Chevy lines. Thousands of pieces were employed to fit the Camaro with a replica V8, a pimped-out red and black interior and huge — relative to the model's size, that is — deep-dish six-spoke rims. Although this part is difficult to see on the computer screen, the Lego Technic pieces allow the Camaro to independently move without the help of a hand.
Considering the complexity of the design, it is doubtful that Lego will ever offer a kit similar to Crowkillers' masterpiece, and this is likely to be the first and last Lego 2009 Chevy Camaro.
What this means to you: We've been waiting so long for the release of the fifth-gen Camaro that Lego enthusiasts decided to take matters into their own hands. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent
