Hi everyone! Happy New Year 2026 to all of you! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? To kick off this new year, I’d like to present my latest creation, inspired by a slightly crazy project started by a guy in his garage. A project from someone who first built a GT40 replica from scratch, then took on the wild challenge of designing and building his own hypercar. I’m of course talking about the Hyperpilote by Benjamin Workshop a very famous home made French builder. I’ll let you check out his YouTube channel—he’s quite active and regularly shares updates on the progress of his project: https://youtube.com/@benjaminworkshop?si=HpPa3anAV1SEwS1X On my side, I started designing the LEGO model toward the end of his Kickstarter campaign in 2022 and completed it at the end of 2025. Initially, the real car was meant to be fully electric, before switching to an internal combustion version in 2024. This major change ultimately didn’t have a significant impact on my development, which I was carrying out in parallel, as I had quickly decided to focus my efforts early on the exterior design, using the body panels from the Lamborghini Sián 42115. Here we go—time for the photos! I. General Specifications 6-speed gearbox + Neutral + Reverse by @Anto (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-171508 ... s/#details) Gear indicator Steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters Independent suspension Elytre doors opening mechanism Integrated lifting rams (“Air Jacks”) Front and rear anti-roll bars Self-locking differential mechanism when steering Functional front radiator Opening features: doors, hood, and trunk II. Design The design of the real car is heavily inspired by the McLaren P1. This influence is evident, on the one hand, in the unique three-seat cockpit layout, and on the other hand, in the teardrop-shaped canopy, which gives the rear wheelbase a much more pronounced and muscular stance.I reused the P1 body panels in light bluish orange to achieve this overall look. The front end is a blend of panel placements inspired by @Charbel Charbel’s McLaren 720S (https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/172734-moc-18-mclaren-720s-w-instructions/&tab=comments#comment-3134415), used to shape and frame the headlight line. The headlights themselves are made from DBG barrel elements, similar to those used on the LaFerrari MOC by @T Lego: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/193303-moc-ferrari-laferrari-18/ As a small nod, I tucked a nitrous bottle behind the driver’s seat, in the spirit of Need for Speed II—for those who remember… The rising beltline between the front and rear wheel arches was quite challenging to resolve. The slope is very subtle and integrates into an opening body panel. I wanted the door opening mechanism, inspired by the Ferrari Daytona SP3 42143, to be completely hidden within the overall design. Each door opens independently via a push-button that actuates a linkage system with friction and an over-center mechanism, allowing the door to remain open. The door is then closed by pushing it back and breaking the over-center point. The door can also be opened without using the push-button; however, the lever must then be engaged to lock the door in the raised position. For added realism, I wanted to incorporate a realistic version of Nissan’s famous twin-turbo V6, the VR38DETT, complete with the full exhaust plumbing as well as its two side-mounted turbochargers. Its red engine cover contrasts nicely with the car’s orange bodywork, in my opinion. The chassis is extremely rigid despite the absence of a central spine, thanks to the 3×19 frames on each side: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=67491#T=C The gearbox located behind the cockpit also plays a structural role. For reference, the car weighs over 2.5 kg. And the French touch ! You want the same in Green ? Wait... III. Features To explain all the features of the model, let’s start with the schematic below: Blue: Main transmission, RWD, and radiator rotation Light Green: Gear-shifting mechanism and indicator Yellow: Anti-roll bars Red: Steering via HOG or wheel and coupling to the differential lock mechanism Green: Elytre door lifting mechanism Blue: The gearbox is based on Anto’s version: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-171508/Anto/ultimate-6nr-gearbox-with-forks/#details Go check it out—his system is brilliant! It’s a 6-speed + Neutral + Reverse gearbox. The gear indicator is visible through the rear hood (I simply forgot to add the sticker for the photos ^^). I also extended a driveshaft to operate the radiator fans at the front of the car. Light Green: The paddle-shifting mechanism is angled and uses the rotation of Wheel 2474: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2474&idColor=3#T=C&C=3 A rotation stop is also included to prevent infinite spinning. Yellow: The car features anti-roll bars on both axles. Red: I designed a differential lock system that engages when the wheels are straight. During steering, whether left or right, the system automatically releases the differential. This solution combines efficiency with simplicity of use. Green: Each elytre door opens independently via a lever that actuates a linkage system with friction and an over-center mechanism, keeping the door open. Finally, not shown on the schematic, this model version features a pneumatic circuit that powers four actuators—one at each axle—allowing the car to be lifted a few centimeters off the ground. The effect is impressive when the car rises! The system is powered from the rear via a manual pump, and the selection lever is cleverly hidden beneath the horizontal suspension elements. IV. Specifications Scale: 1:8 Dimensions (L × W × H): approximately 54 × 24.5 × 12 cm Weight: 2.6 kg Number of pieces: 4,260 Development time: 3 years V.

Most of these are simple connectors, and it’s unfortunate that LEGO doesn’t offer a wider range of parts when releasing a flagship set. I do not encourage the use of third-party shops, but if you plan to rebuild this car, be aware that you may need to source parts from suppliers like Webricks or Godbricks to complete the inventory. Unfortunately, Rebrickable does not allow the publication of instructions containing non-LEGO parts, but the instructions do exist—so if you prefer the orange version, please contact me privately or via Rebrickable/Instagram. The car also features 3D-printed wheels and custom stickers. I personally designed these pieces, matching the wheel diameters of the Sian 42115 but with the design of the P1 42172. These files are included with the instructions, as are the stickers. Here’s a preview of the instruction manual’s table of contents. The design is fully modular to make assembling the car as easy as possible: 360° video : Thank you for your attention and see you ! -
Whilst ive recently been taking a break from building, here is a little something i wanna throw in just cause i found some time for this: Bugatti Chiron Its going to be an SC Set next year, so i was inspired to make one in my own scale of 1/42. 6 studs wide = 2m (real data wikipedia 2,04 m) 13,5 studs long = 4,6 m (real data wikipedia 4,5 m ) 3,2 vertical studs high = 1,1 m (real data wikipedia 1,2 m) Minifig is 170 cm high (average human height male + female sizes due to wikipedia) So, i got very close to the real size proportions this time ;) Its a bit lower than it would need to be, but since the tires are a tiny bit smaller than "large rims", it helps keep the wheels looking a little bit bigger! what do you think? critique and feedback welcome!

Hi everyone, So I’ve been thinking and have decided to create a new topic for everyone’s 8 wide Speed Champion Mocs! This is because I find it a bit annoying to create a new topic for every Moc, so hopefully people here will be happy to contribute in terms of submitting your own Mocs or to just share your thoughts everyone’s builds. I am currently working on a Bugatti Chiron in 8 wide so I’ll post that here soon. If anyone wants to start this thread off by posting some pictures, please go ahead and hopefully this can become a permanent topic!
