The best lego cars money can buy

Ferrari F40

Superior build quality, meticulous attention to detail - exactly what Enzo Ferrari would expect of Ferraris, and what you get with the F40 Lego kit. The rear end swings up like the real thing, displaying the twin banks of the V8 motor for all to admire. 

Volkswagen Campervan

Go camping with this period correct VW Campervan, with 70's touches such as the checkered curtains and classic two tone paint. The doors swivel open - on the inside you get a whole bunch of camping equipment like a fold down table, bed, sink, stoves, pots and pans.  

Austin Mini

Accurate Minilite wheels, classic British Racing Green with racing stripes, white roof, checkered period correct interior thrown in for good measure - the Mini is one of the best Lego replica cars you can buy. Wonder at the intricate door handles and interior. 

Caterham 7

Its bright yellow and black, and is probably the least Lego-like Lego car you can buy, mostly thanks to the simplicity of the original, pared back and slab-sided track focused car itself. The Lego car can also be a track car as well, only in a straight line...because the front wheels don't really turn all that much. Or at all.

Legoland's 1:1 Lego Mustang

The Legoland resort in Florida houses one of the most unique Lego creations ever – a 1:1 scale replica of Ford's iconic 1964 Mustang coupe, built brick by brick to celebrate the Mustang Club of America's 40th anniversary. Built on top of an aluminum chassis, the car is built out of basic blocks of blue Lego, with accurate details such as badging, decals, wipers and even shadows and surfacing. Visitors apparently can't tell the difference from a distance, whereas up-front, the 'Stang looks like something from a low-resolution game level. 

The kit you can buy right now

Mustafa Mart in Bashundhara City has a huge range of Legos, with a lot of concentration on pop-culture. In terms of vehicular Lego madness, the store houses some incredibly detailed Technic series cars – from F1 to heavy duty trucks, as well as regular series kits that allow you to build basic generic models. The 3-in-1 box you see pictured will cost you upwards of 2k and allows you to build a Lambo-door equipped supercar, a Caterham style speedster and a generic tow-truck. Or just go ahead and make your own.
