The Super Awesome Micro Project: A full sized Lego car, with an engine made from Lego that runs on air.
It is the brainchild of Melbourne entrepreneur and marketing guy Steve Sammartino (twitter @sammartino) and Raul Oaida (twitter @rauloaida), a self-taught teenage technology genius from Romania who Steve met on the internet.
Steve crowd funded it via twitter with a single tweet: twitter.com/sammartino/statuses/174843327961776128
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.

The fact that you made not only the chassis and body out of lego, but the engine as well is absolutely astounding

The fact that its made from lego's is all fine and dandy but I'm more concerned with the fact that it runs on air and no one is trying to capitalize on that......

For as much as they charge for legos you could probably get a regular car cheaper.
