Lego Honda RA272 Race Car Pays Tribute Through Art

When it comes to historic automobiles like the Honda RA272, which was the first Japanese car to win a Formula One Grand Prix, memorabilia is hard to come by.

So what’s a fan to do? Build it of course. This Lego Honda RA272 was built by “Biczzz” and is simply a work of art. In fact, at some angles, you really have to inspect to realize it’s made out of Legos. Clearly “Biczzz” wanted to pay homage to the race car Honda used for the 1965 Formula One season, which was powered by a 1.5-liter V12 engine that had 230 hp but revved up to a screaming 14,000 rpm.

When it became the first Japanese car to win a Formula One Grand Prix, it did it in impressive fashion. Richie Ginther drove it at the Mexican Grand Prix and led from start to finish.
Projects like this make the Lego projects most people did as kids look like, well, child’s play.

Mattel Video Racer Records the Hot Wheels' POV

This is too awesome....

Is it possible that we've been taking our Hot Wheels for granted? That we don't consider the toll those bends and loops take over time? Well, now there's a Hot Wheel that records video of its traumatic life. Like so.

The Video Racer's camera records its adventures at 30 to 60 frames per second, and you can view the footage either on a small LCD on the car's underbelly or on your laptop via USB. There's even a custom video editor, so you can splice clips together and add your own soundtrack. It'll be available sometime this fall for $60.
