Toyota’s Gazoo Racing has teamed up with Lego to bring a full-size model of the GR Supra to life to commemorate the sports car’s 35th anniversary. While the first two generations of the series from 1978 to 1986 were named ‘Celica Supra’, with the third generation, Toyota dropped the Celica moniker altogether and named it Supra.
The Lego Supra you see pictured here is made up of no less than 480,000 pieces, and the only things not made of the Danish bricks on the car are the wheels and tires, the driver’s seat, the steering wheel, and the exterior badging. The incredibly detailed model also has working headlights and daytime running lights.

The interior is almost completely made of Legos as well, with things like the center console, the dashboard, and even the passenger seat all being made of the plastic building blocks, while only the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and gauge cluster come from the real car.
This Thing Actually Drives!
And there’s a very good reason for those real life parts being used as, surprisingly, the Lego Supra drives under its own power. Unsurprisingly, though, you won’t find the Mk5 Supra’s inline-six engine under its brick hood, as the Lego builders opted for something more sane through the use of a battery-powered electric motor.
This isn’t Lego’s first rodeo with 1:1 car builds, as it has made full-size models with other companies such as McLaren, Lamborghini, and Bugatti, and they’ve even worked with Toyota once before to make a 1:1 scale Camry. Like all of those, this life-size Lego GR Supra isn’t for sale (and we couldn’t imagine how expensive it would be if it was), but Lego does offer a miniature Speed Champions version of the exact same car for a much more palatable price of $20.
