INSTRUC.3008, 10187 1/2 [7.19 Mb]INSTRUC.3008, 10187 2/2 [8.1 Mb] View which pieces you need to build this setLEGO just unveiled their newest model for the iconic 1960s Volkswagen Beetle. Designers attempted to create a Beetle about eight years, but the concept lacked the rounded curves for which the Beetle is known. This time, LEGO improved on that first model by incorporating "special features and elements" to really nail that classic, bulbous look. The blue LEGO VW Beetle has a surfing theme, and comes with a surfboard, red and white cooler, and a striped cloth beach towel. The cooler is even equipped with a few beverages. The LEGO Creator Expert kit includes 1,167 pieces to create a model car that, when the surfboard and cooler are attached to the top via a roof rack, is 11 inches high, 10 inches long, and four inches wide. It’s sure to charm fans of the “Bug.” Related: LEGO is releasing their highly detailed and anticipated Porsche 911 soon The model recreates classic features of the VW Beetle, such as the curved fenders, VW logo, and “authentic 4-cylinder air-cooled engine.”
The engine is located in the trunk, while a spare tire and fuel tank are under the hood. Unique hubcaps, a flat windshield, “wing-mounted turn signals,” and circular headlights complete the look. The doors, trunk, and hood can all open. The interior is beige, with seats that can tilt in the front and the back. Behind the rear seats is a storage space perfect for the beach towel. A dashboard and steering wheel add to the sentimental look. The model includes fun little details like beachy bumper stickers on the rearview windows and four different license plate options. LEGO recommends the kit for builders 16 and older. It will be availabe this August and will cost $99.99. According to LEGO’s press release, “This model has been designed to provide a challenging and rewarding building experience with a touch of nostalgia.” The Volkswagen Beetle has always had a playful nature about it, despite its Nazi roots. The way it integrated itself in the “Flower Power” subculture and kept its aura over the years has probably inspired most carmakers, yet no one was able to mimic the “Beetleness" completely.
Despite having a slightly shorter history than Volkswagen, the LEGO Group's rise as one of the most famous toy makers in the world is equally impressive. Put them together and the result should be glorious, which is a pretty good word to describe how this surfer-themed Volkswagen Beetle LEGO kit looks. The detailed LEGO Creator Expert reproduction of a 1960s Beetle is so detailed that it even includes the flat-four engine in the rear and a fuel tank, along with the Volkswagen logo and the distinctive hubcaps. Even the beige-colored seats can be tilted forward for easy access to the rear, just like in the real car. Painted in a very surfer-friendly azure-blue, the kit comes with a LEGO surfboard, a fabric beach towel, and a cooler box for those hot days at the beach. No less than four different license plates that come as stickers are available, so you can change between them when you're planning to photograph the car and make it look like you have more than one. The built model measures 15 cm (5.9 in) in height, about 29 cm (11.4 in) in length and 12 cm (4.7 in) in width, so it isn't really in scale with other official LEGO cars, but that should only be a problem for die-hard collectors.
