It's amazing how much detail LEGO can cram into a small space. Their Mini Cooper kit, and indeed most of their large-scale models, are 16 studs wide. The Speed Champions series are 6-studs wide. Some dreams require just a bit more room. At a full 32 studs across and 68 studs long Sariel's R/C 917K dwarfs most of LEGO's in-house creations. Add to …

Porsche's 911 naming structure has gotten a bit out of hand lately, with things like 911 Targa 4 GTS becoming the norm, but they've stepped up that lengthy name convention with the new LEGO Big Brick 911 Turbo 3.0. LEGO recently introduced a scale model version of Porsche's iconic 3-liter 930, which comes alongside a brand new 911 RSR kit, as part …

While the last issue of Porsche's 9:11 magazine focused on quality, the latest focuses on balance.

I don't think I'm alone in thinking that today's top-tier racecars are not as handsome as their counterparts from twenty five or more years ago. Fortunately, the 919 seems to translate much, much better to LEGO than the 962 or 917 ever have.
