Yet another full-scale vehicle replication with Lego bricks has come about, and this one is of a Ford Explorer. The bright red Legoland Florida edition Explorer is set to be the lead display at the new 150-acre Legoland Florida theme park in Winter Haven, near Orlando.
Crafted by 22 Ford employees in Connecticut, the ‘vehicle’ is made up of 382,858 Lego bricks, and those numbers translate into a rather hefty beast – the structure is supported by a 348 kg interior aluminium base, and with all the bricks in place, tips the scale at 1,203 kg.
The vehicle ‘rolled off’ the line at Ford’s Chicago Assembly Plant earlier this week, and will now make its way to Florida, where it will be loaded on to a trailer with transparent sides and serve as a display at the theme park, which opens on October 15. In 2004, a life-sized Lego replica of a Volvo XC90 was built, also for a Legoland, this one in California.

no matter what, ppl will always relate it to proton. hehe.
Why? Are you M’sian? Why are you proud of Inspira (replica product)?
I’m not proud of something that is not completely manufactured by us.
Proton picked the lazy path and decided to rebadge the current Lancer.
Anthony, is it true that there’s a new Isuzu D-Max launched today? will there be a post about it?
hope to see proton tuah in Legoland nusajaya soon!!!
looks like taking a photo using camera with low pixel.
It’s so sad to see Lego keep doing stunts like these. Makes me wonder if they’re in the creative brick business or a jigsaw puzzle company, where each little piece is tailored to build a replica of something. Totally no more creativity involved.
read this first on yahoo. according to them it’s the lego actually costed more than a brand new Explorer..
