Ryan McNaught, who is a Certified Professional Lego builder, said, “We’ve loved the challenge of this project. The car is shaped with a considerable amount of curved lines, making it a tough but interesting build. From the working lights and indicators to intricate LEGO® Honda logos, the detail on the model has been a fun one for us to work on”.

What makes this replica even special is that Honda went on to use conventional Lego bricks in order to achieve the shape of the hot hatch. While Honda could have used Lego commission special pieces and made their work easier, the automaker went the other way. As a result, a total of over 1,300 man hours went into the project which features more than 320,000 Lego bricks. Hold on, as this is a special replica, the whole model is not just about the plastic bricks. There is also a steel frame on the inside that provides the structure with the much-needed strength.

Not only this model has a close to the real-life appearance of the Civic Type-R, but it also features some amazing stuff like hazard warning lights, headlights, daytime running lights, and even fog lights, taillights. Yes, all these electricals work and can be controlled via an application that is installed on an iPad.

We can only hope for Honda Australia to let its and Lego fanboys from other countries to have a glimpse of this astonishing model.
