What would you do if you had 500,000 legos at your disposal? In all probability, you would fulfill your childhood dream and build such a vehicle.
Even the most crazy ideas, dreams and wishes are possible. And so an international team embarked on a project to create a Lego vehicle that is fully functional and drives like a real vehicle. All with the help of supporters and sponsors, which they got through the social network Twitter.
Idea it is not new, as the team also participated in the shipping project lego cubes into space – Lego Space Shuttle.

The story started with a tweet Steve Sammartino, who was looking for supporters of the project and got 40 investors, who provided the funds 500,000 legos, needed to make a car. The car was "assembled" and planned over a period of 18 months. It consists almost entirely of lego blocks, only certain mechanical parts and car tires are of course not part of the "lego solution". A car drives right "Lego motor", which works on compressed air and with it reaches maximum speed of 30 kilometers.
Anyway terminal velocities they didn't try because of fear before a massive explosion.
