This has been a bumper year for Lego car sets, with the Danish toy brick maker releasing the extremely detailed, extremely complicated Bugatti Chiron we’ve featured on this site, as well as the gadget-laden Aston Martin DB5 as seen in Goldfinger. The company is gearing up for an equally big bang in 2019 with the introduction of a scaled-down Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 tomorrow, January 1.
Like the Chiron, the ZR1 is part of the Technic collection, but unlike the 3,599-piece behemoth, this one is a relative lightweight, weighing in at 579 pieces – or to put it another way, that’s fewer pieces than what the real car has in actual horsepower.
Still, this is a fairly intricate kit, coming with all the trappings of the 1:1 car. These include the typical Corvette long bonnet, large black wheels wrapped in low-profile tyres, massive rear wing and quad central exhausts tips. There’s even working steering and a V8 with pistons that move together with the car, although there’s no transmission as with the Chiron.
As a refresher, the real Corvette ZR1 comes with a 6.2 litre supercharged V8 that snorts out 755 hp and a scarcely believable 969 Nm of torque, paired to either a seven-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed automatic. That one starts at US$119,995 (RM496,400), whereas the Lego version is yours for just a penny under US$50 (RM210).

Not very identical. Still prefer Porsche 911 GT3 and Bugatti Chiron from Lego.
Dude, you are comparing a RM1899 sets with a merely RM210 sets, and expecting it to be close?
Don’t know why Proton never ask LEgo to create for them. Or maybe they asked but Lego too malu to make for PRoton or Geely
LEGO only choose reputable company. Because LEGO prevent company image being slammed
Don’t know also why Perodua never ask LEgo to create for them. Or maybe they asked but Lego too malu to make for Perodua or Daihatsu
Do Lego make Technic model for Toyota? Is it too malu also? Idiot.
Dear Mr Idiot, do you know what it mean by reputable company which consist sport hyper car only. So lame Mr Idiot, don’t call people idiot if you never own Lego Technic. I bet you own copy of Lego products from China brand. It’s 2019, don’t judge people with idiot wording.
Who says dun have. Lego got Technic model of Volvo excavator and Mesidis Arocs truck as representative for Geely, Mesidis, P1, Volvo, Lotus. Jangan marah marah when we have 2 Lego models ya.
Dude, if you want to review Lego, at the very least put the Lego set number (42093).
