Lego Supra GR Celebrates 35th Anniversary of the Model
As children, we've all built Lego cars and daydreamed about turning them into a real, drivable car. The folks at Toyota and Lego had the same idea. And they actually made it a reality!
Lego Supra
If you're familiar with building with Legos, you'll have a decent understanding of just how shockingly impressive a full-size model of a vehicle is. In the case of the MKV Supra, a car with no shortage of complex curvature in its design, it's downright awe-inspiring. The 477,303-piece model resembles a video game rendering of the Supra from back in the early 2000s.
It Drives, Too!
The model has working lights, as well. And that's because... You guessed it, it actually drives! Granted it's way slower than the real Supra, and most other cars, for that matter. But you can watch this full-scale Lego model of the Toyota GR Supra actually rolling around like a pixelated glitch in the matrix!

Thousands of Hours
The joint project between Lego and Toyota had to be extremely well-thought-out. That's why the creators of the model spend 3,000 hours developing and engineering it, and then another 2,400 hours actually built it. The most difficult part of the exterior to build had to have been the curvature underneath the ducktail spoiler. And it looks like they got it spot on!
