CADA Porsche 919 Hybrid Test Car

I’m not a fast driver, never have been. I’ve had one speeding ticket all my life and that’s not because I enjoy the sensation of speed, it’s because I was late for dinner and I’m afraid of my wife. So I cannot fathom driving this beast by builder NikolayFX. Then again, there’s only a handful of drivers in the world Porsche would trust behind the wheel, and I’m not one of them.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Tonight! Tommy works on his Nerdly. ElBarto watches it snow. And Firas Abu-Jaber builds a car. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he’s back with a LEGO version of this deadly rear-engined super-car! So, you ask, what’s the deal with all those numbers and letters? And more letters? Some say each extra letter adds about twenty grand to the price tag. But that would be over simplifying the subtle yet dramatic differences within the 911 family. Therefore, creating a LEGO version that’s immediately recognizable- How hard can it be? I think we all know the answer to that… Nicely done, Firas!

Build This Porsche

The Arvo brothers are back, this time with some classic German automobile engineering. Way back in 2009 they built their first 911, and haven't lost their passion for this iconic performance car. This time however they've gone a step further, by making instructions so you too can build this beast. Hit them up at arvo@arvobrothers.com to get your hands on them.

Vroomy Vroomy, Smashy Smashy

What better way to show your excitement for the LEGO Porsche than to crash test it? The leading computer magazine in Germany, c't, ran a contest giving away one of these orange beauties, but they also crash tested one with the help of the German motor club ADAC. And by crash test I don't mean tossing off your balcony (I still get hate mail for that), they used an actual crash test facility and shot it from many, many angles with high speed cameras. The results are pretty epic.

Mit den Crash-Profis vom ADAC hat c't das Modellauto nach EURO-NCAP-Norm mit 40% Versatz (wie bei den Großen) gecrasht. Hochgeschwindigkeitskamers filmten den Aufprall mit 1000 fps.

Porsche 919 Le Mans

This is speed, this is engineering, this is sexy. Builder Manuel Nascimento has built a Technic tribute to one of the fastest, sleekest and most famous race cars, the Porsche 919. It only takes a glance to see this was a labor of love, but it's in the details you see the true devotion. Click through for more pictures and check out the video.

Links below Hello Everyone, As I had promised, here is the 2016 version (Le Mans) of the Porsche 919 in LEGO. This model was built to continue the "a Brick Build Homage" and to update some aestethic and interior details regarding the previous version.

Review - LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Unboxing the Technic 911 GT3 RS

Every few years The LEGO Group produces a set that is universally applauded and I think this year we have a winner. Whether you're into Technic or cars or not, you have to appreciate the skill, care, engineering and love that went into this set. It's truly a work of art and a premium building experience. The attention to detail in every aspect, starting with the box it comes in, is superb. I can't wait to share the finished model with you, but for now, an unboxing will have to suffice.

Porsche 962 C

Fans of cars, German engineering and things that go fast are going to dig this. Builder greg_998 brings us this detailed and huge Porsche 962 C race car. Porsche has a long and distinguished history on the track, and this homage in brick form looks as steeped in gearhead culture as it's fuel burning real world counterpart.

LEGO Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

I've always been a Porsche fan.  My dad had a 356 Cabrio when I was a little kid, but you guessed it, mom made him sell it and get something "safer."  Rats!  But that was a long time ago, and Porsche has come a long way, not only in its production cars, but in its racing division.  What's great about the brand, though, is that after all these years, Porsche design cues are still immediately recognizable.  Fast forward to 2016: Malte Dodowski is clearly a fan as well with this flawless 911 GT3 model. Check out his photostream for all the detail shots!
