There are few cars as beautiful as a 1961 Chevrolet Corvette. But as with any classic car that is almost universally admired, these vehicles are very rare and expensive, making them a dream for most people. Fortunately, Lego is now letting people build a model of that same Corvette.
Built for an adult audience, the new Lego Icons set is made to be an immersive construction project that is full of intricate details. This includes a working hood and trunk, a detailed engine compartment with a rotating radiator fan and working steering rod, a removable roof, an interior with working steering and a gearshift, radio, rearview mirror, accelerator, brake and clutch pedals. The set even comes with three unique license plates to choose from.
This set clocks in at 10 cm high, 32 cm long and 14 cm wide, covers 1,210 pieces and will retail for £129.99 / €149.99 when it launches on August 4, 2023.
