Meet the life-size LEGO Honda Civic Type R

The acclaimed Honda Civic Type R has been transformed into a full-scale LEGO model.

An exact scale replica of the hot hatch, it took a crew of nine more than 1,300 hours to hand-build using some 320,000 LEGO bricks.

Weighing in at a little over 1,300kg, it features functioning brake, fog and headlights operated by an iPad, while a steel frame supports the structure of LEGO bricks which are all glued together.

The passionate team behind the creation was led by global expert Ryan McNaught who was presented with some exciting but technical challenges in building the Type R due to the unique shape and design of the vehicle.

“We’ve loved the challenge of this project. The car is shaped with a considerable amount of curved lines, making it a tough but interesting build. From the working lights and indicators to intricate LEGO Honda logos, the detail on the model has been a fun one for us to work on”, said Ryan.
