Watch A Lego Porsche 911 Fail Crash-Testing Quite Badly

There's a good reason why full-size cars aren't made out of Lego. Actually, there are many reasons for that, but for some reason German safety meisters the ADAC decided to crash-test a Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS anyway...

In what has to be the most compellingly watchable and brilliantly simple video we’ve seen in a long time, German safety outfit ADAC has crash-tested a Porsche 911 GT3 RS… made of Lego.

The block-built Lego Technic model, which retails at £260 from the Lego Shop (£176 from Tesco), is slammed into a plate of something solid at 28.5mph and the results are rather dramatic.

This 3m15s video only features a single crash (who’d want to rebuild the car?), filmed from multiple angles to give you a glorious repeat performance of the impact to the perfectly-selected backing of Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltz. Who says the Germans don’t have a sense of humour?

So it has the same result as a full size porsche?

But what happened to the pieces that fell into the gap in the rails?

I’m not a fan of lego anything but do they officially sell official car kits now?

Now we know what car companies in India use to build their cars.

They should’ve superglued the pieces together for a more realistic crash

First modern Porsche 911 to get a 0-star safety rating!

The model is roughly 1/8th scale, making the 28.5mph impact scale up to a 228mph Impact.

Considering that, I think it held up pretty well!
