Imagine 2 of those in a head on collision...It's like 2 frag grenades exploding! Nothing within 2 miles will survive the shrapnel!

And then the aftermath. Wheelchair company's profits will skyrocket when everyone has to get their feet amputated for stepping on too many legos.

I once was a poor man, but then I found a crown.

You don't need feet when you're dead! :P

its just a gimmick you can't really support a car with lego so its probably just lego covering a car chassis and using an underpowered air system designed for small lego vehicle is not "genius" its just stupid

the damn engine is build from legos,like all the car. yes its powered by air. its not stupid,it our child dream 

anyway they run at low speed so the legos won`t break apart.

the car has suffered a 'lego explosion' when it was shipped.

It probably run on compressed air, (the compressed air serves as a fuel, that is done by running a compressor backwards)

 

also, most comfortable car seat ever made I imagine...

 

and the tire aren t made out of lego, and there s 2 compressed air tanks hidden in legos... (coudn t have a possibly been able to do that out of lego but still i m just pointing that out.)

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

This is pretty cool thing to do as it runs on air which is eco friendly. :) They probably had to glue the pieces together in order to make it rigid and not break when you sit on it.
