The legendary Le-Mans racer is back...

About this creation

Some time ago, TLG posted a video to celebrate Ford's return to the Le-Mans 24 Hours race. It featured a MK1 GT40 racing along with a 2017 GT. Many believed these to end up being sold as sets, but TLG said they wouldn't be produced. But some people (including me) were intrigued with the GT40, as it featured techniques you wouldn't see in a common Speed Champions set. So I decided to re-imagine LEGO's model in my usual minifig scale.

The front end and the rear were inspired directly by LEGO's model.

With a minifig in.

I'm not as happy with the rear, sadly.

I built a second version. It has rounder sides, but no A-pillars. Which is your favorite?

Thanks for watching!

Belo trabalho! Sobre as rodas eu concordo com o que foi dito abaixo, mas entendo perfeitamente que seria muito complicado de melhorar, portanto seu trabalho est� excelente da forma que se encontra. Continue assim!

Quoting Simon O'Connor The GT40 is so named because it was only 40 inches high. The scale is about right, as far as anything is in scale with a minifig. The only thing that looks off to me are the wheels. They should be a bit bigger in proportion to the body. Not sure if it would be easy to fix though.

These wheels do look small, but there's no way to fix it for now, as they're the most suitable for a car in this scale.

Really nice job! I think that your version has better proportions than the original. Well done! :D

Love it! I really like the way Lego's front-end technique looks when used at your scale.

wow, that works really well in this scale; personally id try to find a way to make the rounder sides work with A-pillars.. both are brilliant but the model would be even better if there was a way to combine them!
