A full-size, working replica of a Toyota sports car made from 480,000 Lego bricks is on display at the Legoland Japan Resort in Nagoya.
Lego Group's Japan unit made the replica of a GR Supra in cooperation with Toyota Motor Corp. to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Supra's launch in Japan in 1986. It is said to have taken 3,000 hours to develop the replica and another 2,400 hours to assemble it.
The Lego car is 4.35 meters long and weighs 1.88 tons. The tires, driver's seat and steering wheel were made from the same parts as the actual Supra.
Equipped with an electric motor, the car can travel at a maximum speed of 28 kph, although special driving operations are required.
"You can do anything with Lego bricks. I want people to feel the infinite possibilities," Eiko Konishi, the trade marketing manager at Lego Group's Japan unit, said online at car's unveiling.
The exhibit is scheduled to run through Oct. 11 at the resort.
