The instruction book must have been epic.
Lego designers have built a life-size Toyota GR Supra using 477,303 bricks. And it’s even drivable – though its top speed – 17mph – is some way off the 155mph limit of the real thing.
The team behind the build, comprising 21 model builders and two mechanics, invested a total of 5,400 hours (225 days) in creating it.
