LEGO Technic Goes Full Throttle with Dom’s Dodge Charger from Fast & Furious

Muscle car lovers and Fast & Furious fans are getting set for the ultimate thrill after Danish toymaker and Universal Brand Development revealed the first set inspired by the high-octane, global blockbuster franchise, the awesome LEGO Technic Dom’s Dodge Charger.

The 1,077-piece replica of fearless street racer Dominic Toretto’s legendary 1970 Dodge Charger R/T provides an exciting new building challenge as fans gear up for the latest instalment in the Fast saga – F9, which hits theatres around the world beginning in April 2021.

Once the build is complete, fans can try out Dom’s cool stunts and recreate the daring high-speed chases from the Fast & Furious movies with the model. The model can also displayed in its famous wheel-stand position.

The authentic replica of Dom’s all-time favourite car is packed with the same realistic details seen in the films.

Just like the full-size version, the hood of Dom’s Dodge Charger pops open to reveal the iconic V8 engine.

Fans can feel like they’re in the garage with Dom fixing up his latest project as they build moving pistons, double wishbone suspension, a wheelie bar to show off the car’s best moves and (of course) put the nitro bottles in the trunk. If things get too hot, there’s a fire extinguisher in the cockpit too.

Samuel Tacchi, designer of LEGO Technic Dom’s Dodge Charger says the high-octane action of the Fast & Furious franchise has captured the hearts and imaginations of petrol-heads the world over.

“We want to inspire people of all ages to explore their creativity through building whatever their passion is, and we know fans of LEGO Technic and the blockbuster franchise love cool cars and adrenaline-fuelled fun.”

The set will be available to pre-order from 31 March from http://www.greatyellowbrick.co.za and to buy nationwide from 27 April 2020 at a recommended retail price of R1,699.
