Lego creates '2 Fast 2 Furious' Nissan Skyline GT-R scale model

MANILA: The Nissan Skyline GT-R from "2 Fast 2 Furious" has been revealed as the next automotive release by Lego. The 319-piece kit is part of the Speed Champions series, Lego's range of officially licensed car models.

The Lego 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R, like the automobile in the film, is modeled on an R34-generation Nissan Skyline manufactured between 1999 and 2002. It stands over 2 inches tall, 6.5 inches long, and 2.5 inches broad and may be enjoyed at home or on the move.

The Lego version depicts the real JDM sports car fairly well. Its squared-off headlights and famous stagger-sized afterburner tail lights quickly identify it as an R34. Overall, it is one of the most faithful adaptations of Lego's moderate material of plastic pieces.

Both the film and the plastic car include six-spoke aftermarket wheels, a body kit, and a massive wing on the trunk in addition to the base car. There is even a nitrous oxide bottle in place of the passenger seat. The set also includes a figure of Brian O'Conner, the series protagonist who started as an officer, who turned street-racer, and who also turned secret agent, played by Paul Walker.

The Lego 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R goes on sale in January 2023, and will retail for US $25 (P1,392).
