Roll in the height of luxury with the LEGO 1936 Mercedes-Benz 500K

If it’s the early 20th century and you’ve got more tycoon money than you can spend, why not spend some of it on an insanely luxurious car? Vehicle master Firas Abu-Jaber brings us an amazing LEGO rendition of the 1936 Mercedes-Benz 500K w29 Special Roadster, and it’s fit for a king. As Firas points out, the original car sold for over $100k in 1936 bucks (about $1.8 million today). Today, the remaining examples sell for tens of millions.

While Firas’ LEGO version didn’t cost quite that much, we’re sure it wasn’t cheap, as it incorporates a treasure galleon’s worth of chromed parts, some of which are official, but many of which are custom, such as the bespoke chrome wheels from James Bond’s Aston Martin.

This 1:16 scale model doesn’t just look pretty on the outside, though, as it’s got plenty of built-in functions, with an opening hood, trunk, and rear-hinged suicide doors, not to mention working steering.
