It pretty obvious by now that we love Legos here at TopSpeed, and nothing is more exciting then when Lego and cars come together. With the crazy Lego Batmobile Tumbler, the sweet Mini Cooper we built or even the collection of movie cars made from Lego there is always something cool out there for car lovers. Now one enterprising individual with the username bricktrix_Carl is attempting to get Lego to create a Caterham Super Seven model, and we approve.
Lego Ideas is a great program where anyone can submit an idea, and then people can vote on those ideas. Any project that gets bumped to 10,000 supporters will be considered by Lego to be an official set. Both the Ghostbusters and Back to the Future cars we built were Lego Ideas projects.
The current prototype update is of the Caterham 620R and it features a removable hood, engine, Tonneau cover and nose cone. There is also a small trunk for a Lego jack and tools similar to the trunk on the Mini. There are currently three built models on the Lego site in three different colors. We have a blue 620R with orange strips and a pair of Super Sevens, one in green with yellow stripes, and one yellow with silver stripes. With full engines seat harnesses and a roll bar, these cars are about as accurate as you could ever hope to get with plastic bricks.
The Caterham has only been on the site for about a month now, but it has almost met the halfway point for consideration. If you would like to see this project succeed, why not take a moment and show your support.
Everyone here at TopSpeed wishes you the best of luck in making this happen, bricktrix_Carl. And seriously Lego, we think this needs to happen. I’m pretty sure more than one of us here at the office would buy one.
You can see more photos of the various Caterham cars and other projects that bricktrix_Carl is working on at his Flickr page.
