O LEGO Caterham 620R é amarelo com faixas pretas na tampa do motor, que é removível. A tampa do porta-malas também pode ser aberta, e o volante de direção pode ser esterçado. Além disso, as rodas podem ser removidas.
O programa LEGO Ideas permite que qualquer pessoa envie uma proposta de kit de montagem de um carro. Caso a ideia receba o apoio necessário, o conselho de revisão da empresa pode considerar a ideia de comercializar o produto.
No caso do Caterham 620R, o autor da ideia foi Carl Greatrix, que recebeu a ajuda de 10.000 apoiadores, e a Caterham concedeu a permissão à LEGO para produzir o kit. Greatrix enviou à LEGO duas propostas de cor para o brinquedo montável: Bright Yellow e British Racing Green.
Para a tristeza de muitos possíveis compradores, a LEGO acabou escolhendo a cor amarela. O kit LEGO Caterham 620R estará à venda no Reino Unido e nos Estados Unidos a partir de primeiro de outubro, ao custo de, nos respectivos locais, por 69,00 libras esterlinas e 79,99 dólares.
Caterham has today 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. Other unique features which may cause fans to blow a gasket include:
- Removable nose cone
- Removable engine cover
- Steering wheel
- Opening boot
- Functioning axle stands which allow the wheels to be removed
Caterham Chief Commercial Officer, David Ridley, said: “Caterham has always prided itself on producing bespoke, hand-built cars for its customers. Our army of fans who build their own Caterham Sevens are equally discerning when it comes to the detail and craftsmanship which is central to Caterham, and we worked closely with the LEGO team to ensure the LEGO model replicated that.
“The LEGO 620R has various unique features – the intricately-designed engine was certainly a surprise when we lifted the bonnet for the first time. It’s really satisfying to know that fans can recreate and build their own 620R with LEGO bricks.”
The Caterham LEGO 620R will be available to buy from October 1st, priced £69.To find out more visithttp://www.caterham.co.uk or call 01293 312300.
