Caterham has unveiled a brand new model which features a rather different build process to its usual run of 500 cars a year - the brand’s very first immortalisation in LEGO form.
Technicians from the legendary British sportscar manufacturer have downed their tools and picked up the plastic, teaming up with the equally iconic toy maker to create the first ever LEGO Caterham, due to hit the shelves this October.
The plastic bricks, resplendent in Caterham’s typically garish yellow, create the beautifully engineered LEGO Caterham 620R, capable of reaching a heart-racing top speed of 6 mph.
Originally submitted by fanatic Carl Greatrix to the LEGO Ideas platform, in which fans can submit their ideas for new LEGO sets, the Seven gained the requisite 10,000 votes and the LEGO Ideas Review team selected the 620R to go into production.
Consisting of over 770 pieces, including a replica 620R engine and gear stick, the LEGO Caterham stands 10 cm tall and 28 cm long. Other unique features which may cause fans to blow a gasket include: removable nose cone, removable engine cover, steering wheel, opening boot and functioning axle stands which allow the wheels to be removed
The LEGO 620R will be available to buy in store from October 1, priced £69.
