Complete the Air Coooled Trifecta with this LEGO Karmann Ghia

We’ve already see LEGO kits of the Beetle and the Type 2, so naturally the next step is a LEGO Karmann Ghia.

This Ghia was made for LEGO Ideas by user Mandylion777. The site takes suggestions from regular people, and lets visitors to the site vote on which ones should make it into production.

Although trying to translate the Karmann Ghia’s curvy lines into LEGO may seem foolhardy, this kit actually looks pretty good.

Although it doesn’t have a working steering wheel, like on some kits, it does feature a removable roof, luggage, opening doors, and an opening trunk and frunk.

The kit has more than 1,300 supporters right now, but it’s far from the 10,000 it needs to be officially reviewed by LEGO.

If you want to help support the Karmann Ghia, and add another air cooled VW to the pantheon of LEGO kits, you can do so at ideas.lego.com.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...
