Check out my build!!! (not what you expect...)

EDIT: Build completed with photos.

Hi all, what do you think about my Taycan RWD build before I lock everything down?

* Colour: Plastic effect Lego white
* Lego Exclusiv red brake callipers
* Big 62.3mm blacked out rims (from Porsche 911 GT3)
* Signature x4 pattern LED lights (lit using Powered Up lights)
* Steel/plastic Exclusiv Red shocks, lowered to the max
* Panoramic Roof
* Opening doors, bonnet and boot.
* "Frunk"
* Lightstrip in red
* Entire car made from lightweight plastic
* Deletion of model designation
* Stormtrooper look with signature tears

To Do:

* Power steering (Lego Power Functions servo motor)
* Dual Buwizz electric motors with bluetooth remote control
* Dual electric 9V Li-On batteries
* Remote control front/rear lights
* Plastic interior in contrasting colours (red / black with deep red accents)
* Two speed drivetrain
* 2-way adjustable bucket seats without memory function, 2+1 in rear
* Foldable wing mirrors, dashboard, console

Seriously, so far I've designed the chassis and shell. Wanted to get the basic sizing / look right so I know what space I have to play with inside to put in the motors/steering/batteries. The below are photorealistic renders of the design. I'll order the parts soon and get building, and will no doubt have to tweak it. It will take months to complete but I'll update in here as I go.

For those interested, I've done this using BrickLink Studio. I've essentially used Lego's Porsche 911 GT3 RS as a basic template (following the instructions and building within Studio), where I've had to adapt it heavily by lengthening the wheelbase, redesigned front/back-end bodywork, added rear doors, added a boot, added Taycan lights and rear full light strip. I will model it like my own RWD Taycan, which has the contrasting red/black interior. My lego model has red callipers though, the real thing only has black but I think the red looks better!

Enjoy

Have you confirmed with PCNA that it will work with Plug & Charge? 9V batteries might cause problems for P&C but for sure you could still use the Lego App to purchase a few kW's.

At last a Taycan I can truly afford ?

 

[Mike in CA]

That's very cool. I built the Lego GT3 RS (which was a lot of fun) and it's quite clever of you to modify that plan to create your Taycan. Looking forward to see how it turns out. ?

 

[XLR82XS]

Nicely done!

 

[Tandrup]

I love those 2.4" rims - they are awesome! I always thought 22" or 21" was too big...

It is a fail. I would not get one without the full leather package. Can you still change?

0-100 time?

Porsche havnen’t released official figures yet. But Internet rumour says it might do 0-5kmh in 3s. That’s some serious power!

Damn configurator doesn’t have it. Must be discontinued. Have to go with the default plastic interior. By all accounts, it is very plasticky but still has a premium look to it.

PCM Version?

There’s too much frustration around PCM. This one will be PCM-free.

 

[DANgerous]

Here's a few photos of the build so far. You'll notice my custom PPF job of the front wheel arches... that's because Lego don't do this part in white so I've had to improvise with some electrical tape. It looks terrible but better than the blue! I'll figure out how to spray paint it.

Ive got a working armrest (back and front), cup holders (!), light assemblies with x4 working lamps in each, x3 seats (don't have enough parts for the 4th, on order), electric and mechanical steering (switchable using a lever), lower and upper PCMs. Still a few placeholder red parts that I need to swap out for white when I get the bits.

What is this?

A Taycan for ants?

How can anyone be expected to drive…
…if they can’t even fit inside the car?

I don’t want to hear your excuses!

The car has to be at least…three times bigger than this!

They will be some bigas* ants driving in this thing I can tell you! It's huge. It probably weighs 5kg. Way heavier than than a Lego non-EV. Way cooler too!
