Lego gets Fast and Furious with Dom Torreto’s Dodge Charger

Lego has unveiled its latest car-based set designed to appeal to petrolheads, brickheads and movie fans alike with a replica of one of the most famous cars from the Fast and Furious franchise.

The Lego Technic Dom’s Dodge Charger set is a 1,077-piece kit recreating the iconic black 1970 Dodge Charger R/T that Vin Diesel first drove in the original The Fast and the Furious film and has cropped up in three subsequent movies.

The 1:13 scale model features many of the movie car’s stand-out features, including a V8 engine with moving pistons, a huge supercharger intake poking through the bonnet and a wheelie bar. There are also mini nitrous tanks in the boot and a replica fire extinguisher stored in the cockpit.
