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 6mph.
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 10cm tall and 28cm long.
