Ford is teasing a new LEGO Speed Champions kit that lets you build up two iconic race cars that each won their class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The set includes the GT40 that won in 1966 and the 2016 Ford GT that won in 2016.
The kit will also include the driver minifigs as well. LEGO and Ford worked together on licensing and details of the blocky car kits. The LEGO cars were designed by Craig Callum, who went through ten prototypes before the final version of each model were selected. Impressively, the kits were crafted from existing LEGO bricks.
The LEGO Ford GT Speed Champions kit will go on sale on March 1, 2017 for about $35(USD).

Looking like the ghost of Hot Wheels fantasies past, a new video short has beamed out of the minds at The Theory -- a production team that just happens to have a MicroVision pico projector. Called "Speed of Light", the mixed media film was made by projecting shots onto walls, floors and objects like laptops and then filming it with "no CGI trickery" added later, according to the team. Featuring a miniature Ford GT chased by a police car, helicopters, missiles and explosions, the pursuit was filmed with a Canon 5D MkII and HD MiniCam. To see if the little crook gets away with it, peel out to the video after the break.
