    Super Awesome Micro Project Factoids:

    - The engine is made from standard Lego pieces and runs on air!
    - The engine has four orbital engines and a total of 256 pistons.
    - More than 500,000 LEGO pieces.
    - Top speed around 20-30km (We drive it slow as are scared of giant lego explosion)
    - Built in Romania and shipped to a secret location in Melbourne.
    - It's a Hot Rod design, mainly because hot rods are cool.

    so it somehow draws in air, then uses the compressed air to power the drive train?








    the tires aren't made of Lego, fail

    Lego has rubber tires for their cars.

    then the tagline 'car made entirely of Lego' is bullshit
