Motor Trend
reported that the new Chevrolet Camaro Z28 set follows the 1960s Ford Mustang set as Lego’s latest venture for those who love classic American muscle cars. The car measures 14.4 inches long and is about 2.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide. The new ‘69 Camaro set rivals the Mustang kit in many ways that include many transformable options.
For example, it can be set up as either a coupe or convertible, the headlights can be classic round jobs or “hideaway” style, and the racing stripe colors can be changed between classic white, subtle gray, and stand-out red. The convertible setup even has a dark red soft top that matches the interior.
Two custom license plate options include a Michigan “CHVY 69” plate and California “P4N T3R,” a nod to the Camaro’s original Panther codename.
The new kit was even announced with a video that mimics car dealership commercials of yesteryear.
The Lego Camaro Z28 is not child’s play
While this kit is sure to catch the attention of car enthusiasts of all ages, it is geared primarily towards adults and Lego suggests that it is best for users 18 and up. Not only does the kit contain a whopping 1,456 pieces, but pre-orders will cost you $169.99.
It's set to be officially released on August 1, 2022.
The model also features intricate details such as working steering and a detailed V8 engine.
“With its classic lines and sleek design, the 1969 Camaro Z28 is unrivaled in its elegance – which is why it was such a wonderful inspiration for this Lego design,” said Lego Designer Sven Franic in a statement reported by GM Authority
. “By building this set, you can envision yourself at the wheel, and all but feel the rumble of the engine taking you down an open road.”
