Lego recreates Dom’s Dodge Charger

Fans of the Fast & Furious franchise will instantly recognise the latest Lego Technic set, because it’s a miniaturised version of the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T driven in the films by street racer Dominic Toretto.

Actually, this 1:13 scale replica is going to need plenty of display space. Once fully built, the 1,077-piece kit measures 39 cm (15.3”) long, 16 cm (6.3”) wide and 11 cm (4.3”) tall.

Details include double-wishbone suspension, working steering and, beneath the opening bonnet, a V8 engine with moving pistons. An under-body bar even lets the car assume its characteristic ‘wheel-stand’ position.

The UK price for Dom’s Dodge Charger is £89.99. Orders are being accepted now (limited to two per customer) and deliveries will begin on the 27th of April.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
