hat is it that drives a fascination toward cars? Far more than just a mechanical horse, the car has been the transformative technology of the twentieth century. The car wraps up two centuries of advances in science and technology in a product polished by stylists and marketing departments for your personal freedom. The automobile is the driver of so many technological changes in our lives—we are more likely to have first had a computer in our car than in our house. And unless you have flown to the moon, your car was probably the first product you’ve been in that was designed on computer too. Whole societies have been transformed by the automobile, which fueled the growth of cities, highways, shopping malls, and suburbs. From its origins in late-nineteenth-century Europe during the Industrial Revolution, the car has also come to represent our hopes and dreams. Postwar American optimism was reflected in gleaming two-tone paint, rocket pods, towering fins, and chrome. It is sports cars, muscle cars, and race cars, though, that feed high-octane excitement into our bloodstreams. Power, noise, speed, and fast, fast styling are mechanical interpretations of our fears of and appreciation for the animals that lurk, linger, and growl. Dangerous animals with claws, teeth, and talons. Animals we’re warned about and that haunt our dreams. Automotive history is filled with cars named after these animals—Pantera (panther), Bronco, Cobra, Stingray, and Viper. (Section 3 of this book includes the Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda—the wildest of the wild muscle cars from the early 1970s.) The industry that creates these cars has drawn in passionate artists, stylists, engineers, marketers, and visionary dreamers. Men and women pour their sweat and tears in pursuit of a hero vehicle—cars that set our imaginations alight. These hero vehicles can be found on posters on teenagers’ bedroom walls, on the screensavers of coworkers, and polished to perfection in the garages of car enthusiasts the world over. In How to Build Brick Cars, I hope to bring these cars to life in 3-D brick form: cars made from LEGO® bricks. In creating the cars for this book, I have drawn on a small portion of the thousands of brick vehicles I have built over the years, married to more than a decade of automotive design engineering at the Ford Motor Company. LEGO has been instrumental in developing the skills now termed STEM or STEAM—creative skills in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics—of people in diverse, exciting careers, including those who design and develop cars. LEGO has been part of my own experience in developing these skills and applying them to my own specialist field of advanced vehicle architecture. These are some of the most significant sports cars, muscle cars, and race cars over the past one hundred years. I hope you enjoy building them as much as I have designing them.

WHY BUILD BRICK CARS?

P

Proof 1

eople often ask me what I do for a living—a normal question when you meet someone for the first time. I respond in any number of ways: “I work for Ford,” or “I am a car design engineer,” or something similar. If I give them my real job title, they just stare at me blankly, sometimes even when the question is asked by one of the engineers who works in the same building. When it comes to discussing what I do for fun, the idea that an adult designs cars made from LEGO® bricks is perhaps a bit more unusual. Kids, of course, think this is a fantastic hobby. The next question is, “Why?” Again, there is always more than one answer. I build cars from LEGO because it is a relaxing and enjoyable creative pastime. But I also build cars from LEGO because it allows me to quickly solve problems that I encounter when I design real vehicles, in a way that’s much less expensive and time-consuming. It allows me to demonstrate the solutions in a 3-D interactive form that people can see and hold. LEGO is not a static object either. The suspension systems used in this book in the Intermediate and Advanced sections rely on the engineering properties of LEGO that are poorly understood and seldom exploited, properties that exist in all materials and that we rely on every day without appreciating their significance. For further reading, I suggest researching “torsion bars”—the spring method used in this book—along with “elastic properties of materials.” These subjects are usually first encountered at a college or university, but the opportunity to experience them in a LEGO-built model can provide invaluable insight. It may come as a surprise, but the chief practice of engineering is to solve problems. If there are no problems to solve, I don’t have a job to do. Thankfully (I guess?) there seems to be an overabundance of problems to solve, even if we are challenged to make “minor” changes to a vehicle that we designed a couple of years earlier. Real vehicle engineering is like this—the various stakeholders (corporate, government, customer, and manufacturing) all move the goal posts forward in pursuit of a better car, whether it’s in regards to safety, environmental pollution, comfort, cost, convenience, or features. Cars are pretty complex, and understanding how everything works together is challenging—we create models in one form or another all the time to try to simplify the concepts and appreciate their interactions. When you can build your world in LEGO, you can create models of your problems as well as models of your solutions. This is also true of fields outside automotive engineering. LEGO has always had an architectural focus, and LEGO robotics sets have added problem-solving with software code, sensors, motors, and gears to the LEGO-based STEM toolkit. My involvement with Ford Motor Company includes mentoring programs with local schools using these tools. And lastly, I build cars from LEGO because I love cars and I love LEGO.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

D

esigning LEGO® cars is a skill set that has taken me a great many pleasurable years of building to master. In writing this book, and through the detailed instructions, I have endeavored to provide inspirational material to aid builders, new and experienced alike, with design techniques and solutions that they can use to create their own model vehicles. The selection of cars spans the 1930s to today and represents the evolution of a number of engineering technologies, including V engines, all-wheel drive, independent suspension, mid-engine layouts, and other real-life features, scaled down to model size. On first reading, a new builder may find some of the advanced designs beyond their LEGO parts collection, building experience, or comfort zone. I hope that a slow progression through the Beginner and Intermediate designs, and experimentation with some of the techniques introduced into your own builds, will give you the confidence to move to the more advanced designs when you are ready for those challenges. For the advanced builder, I hope that the less-complex models are nonetheless a rewarding building exercise at a smaller scale and that the more-complex models reveal an advanced world of model building, one that more closely reflects the challenges and rewards of designing and engineering real cars for the real world.

Build Introduction

Symbol/Nomenclature/ Technique

The instructions for the 1932 Ford V-8 allow the builder to create either a coupe or a roadster version of the car. The instructions for both are common for most of the construction, with unique instructions to build one or the other detailed at the end of the build. This technique is used again for the Ferrari 488 and the Jaguar E-Type.

The large bold numbers for the instructions start at 1 and number progressively. This helps keep track of the stage that the build is in overall and provides some guidance to the next instruction step when alternative designs can be chosen.

The small bold numbers included in the colored box fields show the step level when creating an assembly. An assembly is a collection of parts that create a cohesive structure prior to being joined to the main model. A number followed by × indicates that the builder should assemble that number of common assemblies. This is usually the case for wheels, seats, and engine parts.

’32 Ford

This symbol indicates that the assembly or model should be rotated to aid the next step or to see what it looks like from the reverse side.

’32 Ford

This symbol indicates that alternative assemblies can be chosen and points to the beginning of the first step of building the assembly shown to the left of the arrow.

The building instructions introduce various symbols and nomenclature progressively through the chapters, allowing for the instruction set to be condensed while still maintaining instruction clarity. The following symbols and typography are there to aid the builder in selecting the correct parts at each building stage, preparing intermediate assemblies, and connecting them to the base model architecture. A note on part numbers: You will see each part required for the model in the form of xxxx-yy. The xxxx refers to the LEGO Part ID. This part type number is used in LDD and other software. It is also the part number that you need to use to order parts from LEGO or a third-party seller. The yy refers to the part color. LEGO uses these numbers to identify specific colors. For example, red is color 21. One of the most fun things about LEGO is the vibrancy and range of colors you can use. Colors for the models in this book have been selected satisfy a generally available palette. In each chapter, a color guide will indicate which colors should be used, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder—let your imagination run wild!

What does it mean? What should I do?

Arrows (red, black, or orange) indicate the position for smaller assemblies to be placed on the main model, where this might be difficult to see clearly.

This symbol, which is also used in the parts list, indicates the length (in standard bricks) of the LEGO Technic axle to be used at this assembly stage.

Many of the car models have brick-built windows. The instructions to build these can be quite confusing. To aid the process, the parts to be added at each instruction stage are colored pale yellow.

he models in Section 1 are some of the most recognizable vehicles in the history of the automobile. We recognize these cars from their designs—distinct silhouettes arriving at historically significant moments in time. These models are not generic LEGO® cars for kids. They are detailed models at a smaller scale (1:28), take less time to build, and do not require many specialist pieces. These models can seat LEGO minifigures. The builds become more detailed and complex as you work through the section. The 1932 Ford V-8, Ferrari 488, and Jaguar E-Type also provide instructions to build these cars in both convertible and coupe forms, along with some other modeling differences, such as wheels.

he Ford Model 18 (as it was officially named) marked the beginning of an era of affordable power for the common man. The Model 18 COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA was Ford’s V-8—a configuration otherwise confined to high-price luxury cars. Priced from $490 for coupes ($495 for roadsters), the V-8 was PRODUCTION: 1932 significantly less expensive than any car offering 8 cylinders. The concurrent NUMBER MADE: 298,647 4-cylinder “B” Model (priced at just $10 less) would have been a failure but for Ford’s inability to produce greater numbers of V-8 engines and cars. LAYOUT / DRIVE: Front engine / Rear-wheel drive A V-8 had many advantages. Chiefly, it offered smooth running and high ENGINE: V, 8 cylinders, 221 cid (3.6L) power density for its overall length. The engine was barely heavier than an inline-four and lighter than an inline-six. This made for a fantastic recipe: small CAPACITY: 65 hp (48 kW) car + big engine = maximum mayhem. All getaway drivers knew this. Bonnie CONSTRUCTION: Separate frame, steel body/ and Clyde, while on the run, famously penned a thank-you note to Henry Ford: 2-door coupe and roadster Dear Sir While I still have got breath in my lungs I will tell you what a dandy car you make. I have drove Fords exclusivly when I could get away with one. For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got every other car skinned and even if my business hasen’t been strickly legal it don’t hurt anything to tell you what a fine car you got in the V-8. Yours truly, Clyde Champion Barrow [April 10th, 1934] After World War II, returned servicemen sought the adrenaline a modified Ford V-8 could offer. The Ford V-8 was the original hot rod. The culture of hot rodding came to life chiefly thanks to cheaply available prewar Ford V-8s. Roadsters and coupes were the favored styles, and very few cars from this period are left in original condition. The Ford V-8 was updated in 1933 to the Model 40 and in 1934 to the 40B, offering a styling change to a more shovel-like radiator and hood line.

amiliar and yet different. The Ferrari 488 GTB, launched in 2015, in many ways closely resembled the 458 Berlinetta model it replaced. The car looked very similar in overall form, size, and proportion. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Italy The heart and soul of any Ferrari, though, is the engine. In the 488, the V-8 PRODUCTION: 2015–present engine remains. Capacity was reduced from 4.5L to 3.9, but two turbochargers were added. The turbos add power and, more importantly, torque. For each NUMBER MADE: Currently in production measure, the 488 has the highest specific power and torque of any road Ferrari LAYOUT / DRIVE: Mid engine / Rear-wheel drive engine ever. This means that for every cubic centimeter of engine capacity, the 488 produces the most useable go. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels ENGINE: 3,902 cc, 8 cylinders, V, turbocharged via a twin-clutch, 7-speed gearbox. This gearbox design uses two independent POWER / TORQUE: 661hp (493kW) / 561 lb-ft (760 Nm) clutches. One clutch engages gears 1, 3, 5, and 7, while the second operates on 2, 4, 6, and reverse. The gears are preselected electromechanically for the CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Aluminum-alloy spaceframe / 2 doors next shift. The 488 is available as both a Berlinetta (coupe) and Spider (convertible), the names commonly used for these body styles in Italy. Ferrari was founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1948, after he had run the racing team for rival Alfa Romeo. Originally he had built very limited numbers of road cars for well-heeled and well-connected customers—primarily to fund his racing team, Scuderia Ferrari. Early road cars were almost exclusively V-12 and front-engined. Ferrari introduced a companion brand with assistance from FIAT and produced a V-6 mid-engine design in the mid-1960s. It was named “Dino” after his son Alfredino Ferrari, a name he also used for the V-6 engine that Alfredino helped design. In 1975, the V-6 Dino 246 was replaced by a new V-8 engine model—the 308, with a 3.0-liter engine. The V-8 line moved through the 1980s to the 2010s with progressively larger engines. Along with a few low-capacity tax specials, Ferrari added turbos to the V-8 engine, high-performance 288 GTO, and F40 models—the pinnacle Ferraris of their day.

CITROËN

2CV CHARLESTON

Proof 1 2C

T

he Citroën 2CV is a compact economy car developed in France leading up to World War II. The car began production in 1948 and quickly COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: France became a bestseller. Soft suspension settings made for dramatic lean during cornering but also made for a very smooth ride. The suspension PRODUCTION: 1948–1990 interconnected the front and rear wheels, allowing the car to remain level but NUMBER MADE: 3.8 million with long wheel travel. One of the original design requirements was to be able to carry eggs over a ploughed field without breaking any! The 2CV also formed LAYOUT / DRIVE: Front engine / Front-wheel drive the basis for small delivery vans and pickup trucks, ideal for compact European ENGINE: 602 cc, 2 cylinders, horizontally opposed city streets. The 2CV Charleston was introduced in 1980, originally as a special edition, POWER / TORQUE: 29 hp (22 kW) / 28.8 lb-ft (39 Nm) and became a regular production model the following year. The Charleston CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Platform chassis / 4 doors introduced a limited number of colors combined with a black roof and fenders; it was one of many special editions released late in the 2CV’s life to maintain interest in the model. The Citroën 2CV had a remarkably long production period, finally ceasing in 1990. By that time, the car had become uncompetitive in areas such as safety, pollution control, and NVH (noise—vibration and harshness). At this point, the car was sold on quirky period design and charm. The 2CV was a very minimalist vehicle—the side windows hinged up from the middle because window winders were considered heavy and expensive! By the time the 2CV Charleston was launched, the engine was a 602-cc, horizontally opposed 2-cylinder producing 29 hp. Earlier versions had smaller engines of 375 to 435 cc, with as little as 9 hp. (The 2CV was never considered to be anything but a slow car.) The early models could only achieve a top speed of 40 mph (64 km/h), but the Charleston could achieve 71 mph (115 km/h).

E-TYPE COUPE & ROADSTER

Proof 1 2C

A

t its launch, Enzo Ferrari himself declared the E-Type “the most beautiful car ever made”—high praise indeed. Many polls conducted COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: England after 2000 declare it close to the top of the list of the most beautiful sports cars of the twentieth century. The E-Type is a template 1960s sports car. PRODUCTION: 1961–1975 Long, long hood, slinky rounded lines, wire wheels, thin blade bumpers, and NUMBER MADE: 75,515 (Series 1: 38,419) multiple exhaust pipes. The car was not just all show—the Jaguar sports car had an evolved LAYOUT / DRIVE: Front engine / Rear-wheel drive version of the XK 6-cylinder engine. Originally of 3.8L capacity and sporting ENGINE: 3.8L, 6 cylinders, inline twin overhead camshafts to produce 265 bhp (198 kW), in 1964 the engine was increased in capacity to 4.2L. The power remained the same at lower POWER / TORQUE: 265 bhp (198 kW) / 240 lb-ft (325 Nm) engine speeds with a 10 percent increase in maximum torque. In any guise, CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Steel monocoque with tubular this made for a fast car: 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 7.1 seconds and a steel subframe maximum speed of 149.1 mph (240 km/h). Original press cars had been “optimized” with modification to the engines, tires, and other parts to achieve this performance—customer cars were a little slower. At launch, two body styles were available, the fixed-head coupe (FHC) and the roadster. The cars shared basic dimensions and had seating for two. In 1966, a 2+2 coupe was added, with an additional 9 inches (225 mm) added to the body and the roofline changed to increase occupant space (but not attractiveness). By the time of the Series 3 cars in 1971, the E-Type had begun to lose competitiveness as a sports car, despite the addition of a 5.3L V-12 engine. The car was now heavier and slower, and had lost handling prowess. The 12-cylinder, mid-engine exotics from Lamborghini and Ferrari had taken over the mantle of the ultimate supercar, though they lacked the beauty of the original E-Type Jag.

ports cars capture our imagination with their forms, details, sounds, and spirit. This section introduces some of the most revered names in sports car history—each left iconic wheel tracks for others to follow. Most of the models in Section 2 move to a larger scale—Miniland (1:20)—the scale used in the LEGOLAND® theme parks across the globe. The larger scale allows the scope for introducing moreadvanced LEGO® modeling techniques. Most of these cars include suspension systems, where the wheels move relative to the body via spring systems. At this scale, the models can also include added details, such as brick-built engines, engine compartments, doors, luggage compartments, and interiors. Though these models include some very specific details, I encourage builders to see them as a basis for creating models personalized to their own tastes.

2017 FORD

F-150 RAPTOR

Proof 1 2C

M

ix together a half-ton pickup truck, Baja Racer, sports car, and family car, and you pretty much get the Ford F-150 Raptor. I’m not sure who COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA originally came up with the idea, but it has proven popular since its introduction in 2010. The second-generation P552 Raptor shown here was PRODUCTION: 2017–Present introduced as a 2017 model. Gone was the previous V-8 engine, replaced NUMBER MADE: Currently in production by a 450-hp (340-kW) version of the 3.5L GTDi EcoBoost V-6—a group of technologies including direct fuel injection and turbocharging, punching out 591 ENGINE: 3.5L EcoBoost, 6 cylinders, V lb-ft (691 Nm) of torque. POWER / TORQUE: 450 hp (340 kW) / 10 lb-ft (691 Nm) Putting all this power to the ground are a 10-speed automatic transmission, dual-ratio electronic transfer case, and AWD with locking front CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Steel chassis, aluminum body / and rear axles. Ford developed an advanced chassis control technology system 4-door pickup that selects ratios, throttle maps, transfer case torque distribution, and brake and stability program settings to maximize performance on a large number of different terrains, including tarmac. The goal: to be the fastest pickup truck on any and every track and surface. As well as all the power and chassis drivetrain technologies, Ford added a wider front and rear track, long travel suspension, FOX-brand shock absorbers, and larger 33-inch tires. Brand imaging for the original 2010 Raptor included a bright-orange truck jumping in the air—no doubt accompanied by a bellowing V-8 roar. Many YouTube videos show customers attempting to repeat the feat, sometimes heading home in an ambulance with the Raptor heading back on a flatbed truck. Although the Raptor is capable, driving any vehicle in this manner is not recommended for one’s long-term health. Many Raptor customers buy two: one stock version for the road and a modified, trailered second truck for off-road racing events such as the Baja series in the US Southwest.

240Z COUPE

Proof 1 22CT

T

he S30 Datsun 240Z (also known as the Nissan Fairlady Z in its home market) was not the first Japanese sports car. Nissan, Honda, Toyota, COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Japan and Mazda had each produced low-volume, domestic-consumption models that were largely ignored by the West. The 240Z was different—mainly PRODUCTION: 1970–1973 in that its intended market was the United States. With 168,584 cars produced NUMBER MADE: 168,584 over four years, the 240Z marked a major shift in emphasis for the Japanese makers, all of which began to turn their focus across the Pacific. LAYOUT / DRIVE: Front engine / Rear-wheel drive The 240Z was not overly radical. The engine was a 2.4L inline-six. Tuning ENGINE: 2,393 cc, 6 cylinders, inline was spritely, at 151 bhp. Performance was aided by the 240Z’s light weight; the car was small and thus handled very well on independent front and rear POWER / TORQUE: 151 bhp (113 kW) / 146 lb-ft (198 Nm) suspension. Notably, the 240Z represented an amalgam of contemporary CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Steel monocoque / 2-door coupe automotive technologies rolled into one vehicle and was built to the high standards that the Japanese were becoming known for. The US market posed a significant conundrum—big-power V-8s dominated the performance scene in pony cars such as the Mustang and Camaro or muscle cars such as the Charger and GTO. The 240Z’s secret lay in its nimble size, classic proportions, and focused two-seat layout. This market had been substantially owned by the Europeans—UK makers in particular—after World War II, but poor build quality and lack of investment in new technologies had meant that they easily fell to the Z’s charm and performance. As a comparison, a Porsche 911 of the era also had engine of 2.4L and was little faster. In 1974, the 240Z received an increase in engine capacity to 2.6L, and in 1978 (in the United States only), it increased to 2.9L as a result of pollution regulations. At the same time, the car also received a slightly longer 2+2 version, losing some of the design balance. The build model is a special 2.0L twin-cam engine JDM Fairlady Z432R rally special, which was sold in orange paint with a black engine cover.

FERRARI

250 GT SWB CALIFORNIA SPYDER

Proof 1 2C

T

here are fast Ferraris and there are beautiful Ferraris. When the two are combined, a legend is usually born. The Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder is such a car. This legend was reincarnated in popular culture in COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Italy the 1986 film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off—a replica based on an MG that suffered PRODUCTION: 1960–63 an unfortunate fate! The Ferrari 250 line had enjoyed half a decade of development by the NUMBER MADE: 55 time of the 250 SWB Spyder. The car featured an uprated 3.0L V-12 engine with LAYOUT / DRIVE: Front engine / Rear-wheel drive 276 bhp (206 kW), nearly as much power as the Le Mans racing and FIA GT championship–winning 250 GTO. The 250 line actually refers to the sweptENGINE: 2,953 cc, 12 cylinders, V volume cubic capacity of each of the V-12’s cylinders. The SWB chassis was POWER / TORQUE: 276 bhp (206 kW) / 206 lb-ft (280 Nm) based on the 250 GT SWB road racer, one of the last of the breed of racing cars that were also produced as road cars. CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Tubular steel / 2-door Spyder The beauty came in the form of the open-top Spyder bodywork. This was fitted to the 2,400mm wheelbase frame, a 200mm reduction on the earlier road car. The car was built in both steel- and aluminum-bodied versions, and the latter were also used as race cars. The car’s styling typifies the period—a long hood housing the engine, Borrani wire wheels, egg-crate grille, fender grilles to help keep the engine bay cool, and a thin-chrome-rimmed, swept-back windscreen. Most cars were fitted with blade-like chrome bumpers, often removed for track work. For all these reasons and more, the car was popular with celebrities—actors, singers, racers, and others. The pedigree of both car and owners ensures that today, as cars become available for sale, many change hands in excess of $10 million, making the 250 GT SWB Spyder one of the most valuable and coveted of all classic cars.

Proof 1 2C

T

he future of the twenty-first-century supercar starts here. Anyone who thought that a supercar needed 8 or more cylinders and should COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Germany burn gasoline at 10 mpg or worse (when cruising) is soundly rebuked PRODUCTION: 2014–Present by this high-performance coupe from BMW. The i8 has only 3 cylinders NUMBER MADE: Currently in production in its mid-mounted 1.5L engine, yet it produces a solid 231 PS (170 kW), augmented by a 131 PS (96 kW) Synchronous Electric Hybrid Drive. The (2014: 1,741, 2015: 5,456) characteristics of each propulsion system complement one another—the LAYOUT / DRIVE: Mid engine / All-wheel drive electric drive produces instantaneous low-speed torque (184 lb-ft/250 Nm), ENGINE: 1,499 cc, 3 cylinders, inline, progressively transferring torque demand to the gasoline-powered internalcombustion engine as speed increases. turbocharged The performance is brisk: 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 4.4 seconds and POWER / TORQUE a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). The hybrid drive alone allows 120-km/h (GASOLINE MOTOR): 231 PS (170 kW) / 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) cruising in electric mode, aided, no doubt, by an impressive coefficient of aerodynamic drag (Cd) of 0.26. The acceleration is also aided by a low vehicle POWER / TORQUE (HYBRID weight of 3,274 lb. (1,485 kg), the result of focused system selection and SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR): 131 PS (96 kW) / 184 lb-ft (250 Nm) weight-saving measures, such as the aluminum-alloy subframes attached to CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Aluminum-alloy spaceframe, the carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite body. One compromise carbon-fiber body / 2-door normally imposed by a hybrid drivetrain is the large and heavy battery; the i8 uses a 7.1-kWh lithium-ion battery, permitting an all-electric (zero emissions) range of 23 miles (37 km) as calculated by the European NEDC cycle. The US EPA test reduces this by approximately 35 percent. Supercars are nothing without a little drama. The preceding BMW Vision EfficientDynamics show car of 2009 showed off a dramatic form, including a new interpretation of butterfly doors. All these elements translated largely intact to the i8 production car, down to the contrasting color “blades” along the sill line and air-guide vanes on the tail of the car. The BMW i8 marks the start of a new line of BMW models; a follow-up city car, the BMW i3, was launched later in the year, deploying the same technology set in a more practical everyday form.

PORSCHE

911 CARRERA 2.7 RS

T

Proof 1 2 T

he Porsche 911 has the most-recognized sports car silhouette—partly because it has been produced continually from 1963 to today and COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Germany also because of its 6-cylinder, horizontally opposed engine mounted longitudinally behind the rear axle. The shape was an evolution of the earlier PRODUCTION: 1973 356 model. The new distinction for the 2.7 RS was the addition of the small NUMBER MADE: 1,580 “ducktail” spoiler mounted to the engine cover. Ten years of continued evolution led to the most coveted of collector LAYOUT / DRIVE: Rear engine / Rear-wheel drive 911s, the 1973 RS. This model had the perfect blend of poise and performance. ENGINE: 2.7L, 6 cylinders, horizontally opposed The car was a lightweight at 2,150 lb. (975 kg), making the most of the 2.7L engine’s output of 210 hp (155 kW). The Carrera 2.7 RS was built by Porsche to POWER / TORQUE: 210 hp (155 kW) / 188 lb-ft (255 Nm) homologate the car for FIA Group 4 racing (five hundred units required). The car CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Monocoque / 2 doors derived its name from the Carrera Panamericana, a famous road race through Mexico where racing Porsches had many victories during the 1950s. Further evolution of the 2.7 RS occurred in 1974 with the RSR—the engine gained another 121 cc (to 2.808L), producing 300 hp (220 kW). From 1974 onward, all 911 road cars gained US-style impact bumpers, adding weight, and though the engines increased in capacity, emission regulations reduced power output and response. The 1973 2.7 RS is considered the finest of the breed. Porsche intended to replace the 911 with water-cooled, front-engined models, notably the luxurious V-8 grand tourer Porsche 928 of 1977, but for many enthusiasts, the 911 was the Porsche. The classic 911 shape remained until the Porsche 996–generation model 911 in 1998.

his is the fast end of the book—serious machines with serious performance. Along with their shape, performance cars are known for their powertrain performance—engines, gearboxes, and axles. The Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda sported plenty of performance for the money, a big engine wrapped up in budget clothes that made for a wild, wild ride. In complete contrast, the Bugatti Veyron provides the last word in vehicle complexity—16 cylinders, four turbochargers, 4-wheel drive, advanced electronics, and active aerodynamic spoilers. These models are again presented in Miniland scale but include much more detailed chassis and engines, utilizing LEGO®’s Technic theme parts. As you assemble these models, you will even experience constructing major systems as they exist in the real cars. These are the functioning internal mechanical parts that are wrapped up in iconic bodywork. Once the models from this book are completed, you should feel free to expand and develop the techniques further in the building of your own advanced brick cars.

HEMI ’CUDA

Proof 1

T

he muscle car era was one of the automobile industry’s golden eras. The formula was simple: small car, big engine. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA This was all relative, of course. Even the US compacts were very large cars from the perspective of Europeans and the Japanese. The engine PRODUCTION: 1971 was not a relative measure—the V-8 fitted to the Plymouth shown was a NUMBER MADE: 16,159 (108 Hemis) mighty 7.0L at the time when American engines were measured in cubic inches—426 to be exact. And a feature of the engine formed part of the car’s LAYOUT/DRIVE: Front engine / Rear-wheel drive name Hemi—short for hemispherical combustion chambers, a method for ENGINE: 426 cid (6,981 cc), 8 cylinders, V achieving high compression ratio and large valve diameters. ’Cuda was just a shortened form of Barracuda, the official name of POWER / TORQUE: 424 bhp (317 kW) / 490 lb-ft the car on which this model is based. Most Barracudas were a bit less wild (664.35 Nm) than the Hemi version, with various engines of 3.2L to 7.2L capacity. For CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Unibody / 2-door coupe aficionados, though, the Hemi model is the real deal—perhaps even the greatest of all muscle cars. Coupes and a much more rare convertible were available, and the rarity of such cars is elevating the current market value— a 1971 Hemi ’Cuda convertible, one of eleven cars, sold for a staggering $3.5 million in 2014. To add to the drama, the Hemi ’Cuda was available in a number of wild colors, many of them citrus-toned, with matching groovy names. Yearon-year changes included various special paint schemes, including the black panels on the rear fenders of this car, which match the roof. For 1971, the car adopted twin headlamps, a one-year-only feature. The Hemi was also fitted with a shaker hood, an exposed air intake protruding from the hood—the intake “shakes” as the engine reacts to the mighty torque loads. Alas, all golden eras must come to an end, and this one was brought down by insurance premiums, unleaded fuel, and vehicle emissions standards. For this reason, bona-fide muscle car legends remain the poster child for high-octane-fueled dreams.

2016 FORD

GT Le MANS RACER

Proof 1

I

n the early 1960s, Henry Ford II courted Ferrari for the opportunity to purchase the company ahead of other automotive rivals. Ferrari had reportedly been COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA/Canada keen on the deal, but Henry Ford II’s offer was rebuffed by Enzo Ferrari due to disagreements over il Commendatore’s desire to maintain directorial control PRODUCTION: 2015–2016 over all of Ferrari’s racing operations. NUMBER MADE: 4 chassis entered Le Mans 2016 As grudge matches go, this was a doozy! The Le Mans endurance race in France had become a Ferrari LAYOUT / DRIVE: Mid engine / Rear-wheel drive playground—it won six years straight from 1960 to 1965. Henry Ford II ENGINE: 3.5L EcoBoost, 6 cylinders, V saw this as the place to strike at the heart of Ferrari and set about doing so with a Ford-powered and backed racing car—the GT40. Ford achieved its POWER / TORQUE: 600+ hp (450+ kW) / unspecified aim, winning from 1966 to 1969, and Ferrari was forced to sell the road-car CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Carbon-fiber unibody / 2-door coupe business to FIAT while retaining control of the racing team. In 2015, at the launch of the unexpected Ford GT supercar, the company announced that it would return to Le Mans the following year in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the 1966 1-2-3 win. Most commentators considered this to be a naïve ambition. Ford had obviously done its homework, selecting endurance-proven production components, including much of the 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 engine, along with robust prep work, and delivered on their promise. The four Ford Chip Ganassi factory team racers placed first, second, fourth, and ninth in the GTE Pro class. The GT Le Mans racer is closely based on the limited-volume, road-going vehicle launched as a 2017 model year. A limited number of black and silver Le Mans 50 Year celebration road cars were made available following the 2016 race win.

VEYRON EB 16.4

Proof 1

B

uild the greatest car ever—this was the challenge laid down by Volkswagen Group Chief Ferdinand Piëch (grandson of Ferry Porsche COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: France and the creator of the mighty Porsche 917 Racer). The Veyron was to be the most powerful (1,001 hp/736 kW), the fastest PRODUCTION: 2005–2015 (253.81 mph/408.47 km/h), and the quickest (0 to 62 mph/100 km/h in 2.46 NUMBER MADE: 450 seconds) and set new benchmarks for almost all performance attributes. The engine is a mighty 8.0L and 16 cylinders, boosted by four LAYOUT / DRIVE: Mid engine / All-wheel drive turbochargers. The twin-clutch transmission has 7 speeds and drives through ENGINE: 7,992 cc, 16 cylinders, V all four wheels. The car is fitted with ten radiators to cool various systems. To reach the 254 miles per hour (408 km/h) top speed, a special mode POWER / TORQUE: 1,001 hp (750 kW) / 1,100 lb-ft must be entered with the vehicle stationary. This driving mode uses the (1,500 Nm) deployable rear wing from speeds between 137 and 213 miles per hour (220 CONSTRUCTION / DOORS: Carbon-fiber monocoque / 2-door coupe and 343 km/h) to aid stability. Beyond this speed, the car lowers closer to the ground and retracts the spoilers to decrease drag—at the expense of downforce! Driving at 249 miles per hour (400 km/h) probably isn’t a good idea on a public road. In fact, there are very few places where this can be done safely. Former BBC Top Gear presenter James May drove a Veyron at 259.49 miles per hour (417.61 km/h) at Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien highspeed test track. The very steep banking on the track allows the car to run at very high speeds without scrubbing the tires through curves and losing speed—though this also pushes the driver down firmly into his or her seat! All this car doesn’t come cheap, and when sold new, the Bugatti Veyron cost about $1 million, though later exclusive versions were sold for more than twice this amount. In 2016, Bugatti announced the replacement for the Veyron—a very similarly conceived V-16 hypercar called the Chiron.

RESOURCES COMMUNITY One of the great things about LEGO® is the worldwide community. There are LEGO Clubs in almost every country where LEGO is sold. Furthermore, if you are interested in a particular LEGO theme or creation type (like cars), there is likely a group on the internet that caters to this interest. The photo-sharing website Flickr is home to many specialist LEGO interest groups. The following websites may be useful starting points: Official LEGO website: www.lego.com Bricklink (part purchase): www.bricklink.com/v2/main.page News and amazing creations of all types: www.brothers-brick.com Extensive online community: www.eurobricks.com/forum LEGO cars and other vehicles: www.thelegocarblog.com

I DON’T HAVE ANY TECHNIC®— HOW CAN I BUILD THE COMPLEX MODELS? To this good question, I have two answers: 1. If your LEGO collection lacks any of the pieces required to build the model, you can buy them online. You can buy parts directly from the LEGO Company via the LEGO Shop@Home service—a place to purchase full LEGO sets, but also spare parts. This website is available across most of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. You can also purchase bricks via a service called Bricklink (see link above). Bricklink is a web service for thousands of individual stores around the world. Most will be able to supply common parts while others will also be able to supply specialist and rare parts. The LEGO Company has no affiliation with Bricklink, so there are more risks associated with pricing, purchase, and shipping. Many of the Intermediate and Advanced builds include Technic system suspension and engines. Understanding that both part availability and complexity/dexterity issues may discourage the building of these cars, it may please you to know that prior to designing these intricate assemblies, I nonetheless still needed my cars to have wheels attached, and so simpler techniques were employed. For most of the cars in this book, a variation of the following assembly should suffice:

PART SUBSTITUTIONS You may also find that you need parts that are unavailable from LEGO® or a third-party vendor. If this is the case, remember LEGO is a pretty adaptable building medium—there is always a way to build an assembly of parts other than the one shown here. Use your imagination and try with the parts you have access to. This is what expert MOC builders do every time they design their own models. It is the essence of their creativity.

DETAILS AND CUSTOMIZATION As you progress through the models, you will observe that they employ different part and assembly solutions for systems that might be common between vehicles. In particular, LEGO has wheels and tires that are available in close approximate geometric measurements. Though these wheels have a specific millimetric measure, it is much simpler to refer to them by their approximate LEGO part dimension. In this book, most of the smaller models use wheels and tire combinations approximating 3-studs (24mm, or 1 inch), in various widths. Unfortunately, this does not quite mean that they will fit inside a 3-stud gap—so creative solutions are required to provide close-fitting wheel arches that nonetheless allow the wheel to spin freely. For the larger Miniland-scale cars, wheel and tire combinations approximating 4-studs (32mm, or 1¼ inches) are used; they closely fit a 4-stud gap. When building any of these models, please use the wheels and tires you have available. Not only that, there are a variety of creative ways of designing fancy wheel trims or hubcaps, and I encourage you to select designs that suit your style, as would a customizer in real life. .

Most of the models in this book have been created to an exact specification of vehicle. The Porsche 911 is a case in point. There have been a great variety of 911s over fifty years. Each model is different. Even within a single year of production, there is considerable variation in details—wheels, spoilers, light units, seat designs, rear-view mirror placement, and antennae. If you want to follow the instructions precisely, enjoy. If you want to build the model with your own eye for customization, be my guest!
