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.

LEGO Honda S2000

I like it!
"This car was comissioned by a woman as a gift for her boyfriend, who owns a Honda S2000. To be true to his car, she requested it be created with a special light-blue exterior and dark blue interior. There aren't a lot of LEGO elements in these rare colors, so Sean had to design the model with a somewhat limited palette of parts.

Three cars were built in total ... the dark blue car was the original prototype, the light blue car was the commissioned sculpture, and the yellow one was an extra one Sean made for himself. (It so happens that a yellow Honda S2000 was Sean's "dream car" for many years!)"
