Chevrolet life-sized LEGO Batmobile

We’re always seeing vehicles being turned into LEGO models, but this is a little different… and a lot bigger. At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last week, Chevrolet rolled out a 17-foot-long Batmobile, made mostly out of LEGO bricks; 344,187 pieces to be exact.

The vehicle is inspired by Batman’s Speedwagon featured in “The LEGO Batman Movie”, to be released in the U.S. in February. This masterpiece was made possible not just by Chevrolet alone. The project was supported by members of Detroit’s Cody Rouge community, and was designed and assembled in the LEGO Model Shop in Enfield, Connecticut by LEGO Master Builders. It took the team 222 hours to design and 1,833 hours to build the car. Inside the bricks lies a 128kg aluminium frame, while the total weight of the Batmobile is 770kg. Chevrolet has not announced any plans for displaying the Speedwagon, but there’s a good chance it will eventually end up in either California or Florida’s LEGOLAND theme parks.
