Watch A Lego Porsche 911 Fail Crash-Testing Quite Badly

There's a good reason why full-size cars aren't made out of Lego. Actually, there are many reasons for that, but for some reason German safety meisters the ADAC decided to crash-test a Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS anyway...

In what has to be the most compellingly watchable and brilliantly simple video we’ve seen in a long time, German safety outfit ADAC has crash-tested a Porsche 911 GT3 RS… made of Lego.

The block-built Lego Technic model, which retails at £260 from the Lego Shop (£176 from Tesco), is slammed into a plate of something solid at 28.5mph and the results are rather dramatic.

This 3m15s video only features a single crash (who’d want to rebuild the car?), filmed from multiple angles to give you a glorious repeat performance of the impact to the perfectly-selected backing of Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltz. Who says the Germans don’t have a sense of humour?

That was amazing! lol but seriously where is the dummy

Used to have a car i made out of k-nex as a kid. Built in crumple zones, doors, boot, bonnet ( all with locks) and it had steering. Used to crash test it by slamming it as hard as i could into a wall, constantly making changes, how can i make this lighter but still strong. Even mounted eggs or the video camera in it from time to time. Never broke an egg or the camera.
