One of three legendary F1 cars, Jim Clark’s ’66 Lotus, Ayrton Senna’s ’88 McLaren and Niki Lauda’s ’75 Ferrari, might become Lego kits. That is, if enough fans will vote for them on the company’s website. They all got listed on Lego Ideas, the place where enthusiasts can create potential kits in a custom 3D modeling program and post them online to attract supporters.
Putting Lego and F1 race cars in the same sentence is probably the dream come true of a lot of the car-enthusiasts out there. Three projects posted on Lego Ideas website, the place where fans can create potential kits in a custom 3D modeling program and post them, are exactly the legendary cars most of us dream of when we think of old school racing. The 1966 Lotus kit comes with the exact suspension, steering wheels and a H16 BRM engine, and is so far the one people loved the most, having won 1,468 supporters.
The next one competing for the Lego Kit is the 1988 McLaren. It comes with working suspensions, steering wheels and a V6 Honda engine turbo. Even though this model is popular on the site, it only has half of the McLaren's supporters, 659.
Least but not last is the 1977 Ferrari 312T, also boasting working suspensions, a steering wheel and an engine antiroll bar. According to its creator, the model comes with details completely scaled from pictures of the original car. This model is pretty close to the Lotus, having 988 supporters.
All of the three F1 race cars models have been created by the same user, Luca Rusconi, and are competing with other users’ creations, like the Warsaw City Bus Ikarus, the Flying Dutchman and The Discworld. Every kit that reaches 10,000 supporters gets reviewed by the company, so if you really like these babies maybe you should support them. Who knows, one day you might even buy one...
