Lego has a new Porsche 911 model kit with a twist, the company announced Thursday. Builders will be able to choose between building a 911 Turbo or an open-top 911 Targa.
The 1458-piece kit will come with two sets of directions, allowing the buyer to decide whether the final model will be the iconic Porsche open-top, glass-topped cruiser or the company’s hardcore supercar with fixed roof. And although the two designs use the same pieces, it does not mean that they will be very similar. Since launch:
Several unique features of the 911 Turbo and 911 Targa variants in the set ensure that they are equally characteristic, but distinct when built. The Lego Porsche 911 Turbo sports Turbo badges, a wide rear axle, turbocharger and intercooler, denoting its incredible performance credentials. Its athletic look is complemented by an integrated rear spoiler.
Meanwhile, the roof of the Lego Porsche 911 Targa is fully removable and can be stored under the car’s hood. The iconic Targa Bar completes the look, along with the Targa emblem and a wraparound rear window constructed of bricks.
Both cars receive a complete interior with 2 + 2 seats, tilting front seats, gearbox, handbrake and functional steering.
“While we were designing the car, the most difficult decision to make was whether we would make the Turbo or Targa variant of the car,” said Lego Group design master Mike Psiaki in a statement. “It was a very difficult decision that we designed the ability to build the Lego Porsche 911 Turbo and Targa from a single set. Undoubtedly, fans of the 911 around the world who have long admired these cars will love the opportunity to build the two versions. ”
Lego says that members of its VIP loyalty program will be able to purchase the kit, which sells for $ 149.99, through its website starting February 16, 2021. First buyers will also receive a “homeowner package of Lego Porsche “with the purchase, which includes a certificate of ownership, an official portfolio of Lego Porsche cards and a set of four art prints based on correct Porsche 911 ads. The kit will be available to everyone on Lego.com and Lego stores from March 1st.
