...is a Lego Porsche 911 GT3 RS:
www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160425-legos-2704-piece-porsche-is-not-a-toy

Designer Uwe Wabra has created a Lego-ised four-speed version of Porsche's PDK dual-clutch transmission, complete with rubber-band-tensioned paddle shifters and a drive selector with forward and reverse settings. And of course, the gearbox meets a horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with moving pistons.

At only £250 perhaps this should be in the Bargains thread :)

It does look a bargain - maybe an investment?

Nice toy, a bit expensive though for me.

There's no proper indication of the size of the model, and that sort of exploded illustration is peculiar. Pig in a poke really, very internet if I can say so.

I can think of one or two people who might like it.

1/8 scale.

And I don't think it's an exploded illustration, which is what I thought to begin with. Click on the picture to enlarge it and it's clearer.

If you click on the video, it's even clearer.

Says its 1:8 scale, and a 991 GT3 is 4.5m, so I make that just over 22".

I find it incredibly ugly. I can take Lego being used to build a model car, but not a model of a particular car. The reason is that it can't be done successfully, as this proves so well. It seems to be a pointless exercise.
