[PORSCHE] LEGO Technic Porsche of Your Dreams

[Lipko]

I actually AM a student... I think as an engineering major, I have LESS time than someone with a regular job, what with 20+ hours of homework in a regular week.

But do you have school in the summer too?

[Lego Dino 500]

Well, time to get building.

[TheMindGarage]

Did you notice how the actual rules don't state it needs to be a Porsche car? What I mean is, who will be the first to submit Tiger (P)? ;)

Unlikely that any of those will be accepted.

LEGO Rebrick legal page

• Entries with military themes will not be eligible for the Contests.

Is this possibly a remake with 41999 ... or TLG looking for inspiration ?

[jorgeopesi]

Short and simple video, it's just all I know to do , I like this contest rule.

[Seasider]

Hmm might enter this. Wonder if anyone will make the Porsche tractor ?

Time to check the rules to see if I'm allowed to enter

[Kit Fisto]

Started to build the tractor the first day I saw the rules

[DrJB]

Was there ever a Porsche in the 007 movies? ... Maybe a spy version of the car could be an option.

It says multiple entries are allowed, so I was thinking of building a Porsche car as well as a tractor as two different entries

No there hasn't been a Porsche as a Bond car or a Bad guys car

I'm going to attempt to build the Porsche I wanted to buy and almost did a few years back but now they're too expensive.

Anyone know what the max dimensions now work out as as studs ?

I don't think anyone will have problems with the maximum dimensions. The most restrictive of the limits is probably length, and 60cm works out at around 1:7.5 (assuming a 4.5m long car). If you want to go big, just build 1:8 with 80-90mm wheels.

Thanks for posting this Mike! This will be a very interesting contest.

...after which a panel of guest judges (who you might know) including: Eurobrick’s Jim Van Gulik, Fernando de Carlos of Sheepo’s Garage, and TechnicBRICKs’ Fernando Correia, will select 20 semi-finalists.

Oh by the way, sending me LEGO will miraculously improve your chances

(just kidding of course)

Hehe

I know as much as you do, so I need to take a close at the rules myself.

I checked by commenting on the official page. It can be anything - an existing model, a mashup of multiple models or something completely new as long as it's Porsche-like. Also, military stuff is banned, so no Tigers unfortunately...

[mnpumar]

Interesting contest. Looking forward to seeing the submissions

[CollinsLegoTechnicDen]

, Interesting the size regulations correct me if im wrong but I do not think there are many creations of cars bigger then that being as most 1:8 scale cars fit nicely under the limit

[Seasider]

Attempt 1 was approx 1:8 scale but couldn't get the suspension, steering or diff to work on the narrow width.

Attempt 2 with unimog wheels ... I had a lovely front and rear suspension sub models working and then suddenly realised it was a bit big.

Not feeling the love so not sure if there will be an attempt no 3

[Leonardo da Bricki]

I see there is nothing about the exclusion of Power Functions... I need to get started.

25x75x37.5 studs

Based on the math of 7.8mm per stud, it seems closer to H25, L76, W38. Does this look right to others? Edited June 20, 2016 by Thirdwigg

[Myers Lego Technic]

This should be fun.

[Myers Lego Technic]

Hey all, I wandered if there is an age restriction. I was able to submit to the MB contest, though I was at, and still am at the bottom of that age limit.

Pretty sure it's 8mm, but it shouldn't make much difference. As long as it's 1:8 scale or smaller, it should be fine.

There is, but it's 13. So anyone on this site should be able to enter.
