Video: Volvo V70 Lego replica is technically an electric vehicle

 Swedish Lego fanatic David Gustafsson has recently gone viral online after showcasing his one-of-one Volvo V70 replica project made from over 350,000 Lego bricks.

Mr Gustafsson, who previously won a Lego Masters competition and earned 400,000 Lego bricks decided to use his winnings to replicate his real-life Volvo wagon and posted his progress online – garnering over 100,000 followers on social media platforms TikTok and Instagram.

In a video posted to Mr Gustafsson’s Instagram page, the Lego car is built with most of its interior and exterior made exclusively from these toy bricks – however, a foundational metal framework attached to standard wheels and tyres can be seen underneath the Lego blocks.

To get this replica as close to life-like as possible, a functional steering wheel and electric motor have been included in this Lego-fied Volvo V70 wagon – technically, making it an electric vehicle.

Additionally, Mr Gustafsson has added working brake lights, rotating climate control dials, a moving gear shifter, headlights and car doors that can open.

The Swedish carmaker was in full support of the Lego mega fan's project – uploading it to its Facebook page where it received over 11,000 likes and a range of comments from Volvo owners sharing their support and stories of their own experiences with the vehicle.

According to Mr Gustafsson, the Lego replica will be showcased across various shopping centres in Sweden once it has been completed.
