They both started the “Super Awesome Micro Project,” to raise funds between $500 -$1,000 to start the work. This full-sized Lego hot rod is made from more than 500,000 Lego bricks. Even the air-powered engine is also constructed from standard LEGO pieces comprising of four orbital motors with a total of 256 pistons. The Lego car can hit a speed of 18mph. It was built in Romania and then was shipped to Australia. The only non-Lego parts in this bright yellow beauty are the gauges, rims and tires.
