Ferrari F40 V1.2 (4-Wide)

Ferrari F40 in 4-wide with new design on the rear end, including diffusor.

This is another update for my 4-wide F40 (the last one for now). I got all the parts that I wanted for V1.1, but watching some photos I realized, that the rear still didn’t look right:

The rear end of the real F40 is almost flat with a diffusor in the middle. So I included this detail on my F40. I also played a little with the colours in the middle part. I finally decided to put a black background behind the tail lights and a dark grey one behind the grill.

Side view: I changed the 1×4 bracket on the rear end by two 2×2 brackets to get rid of the small gap under the bracket. First I didn’t like the black plates behind the tail lights in this view, but they looked so cool in the rear view that I kept them. And finally, I got the black 1×2 cheese wedges with the grill for the rear window.

Bonus picture: New (old) front view, heavily influenced by Rhys’ 5-wide F40

Update November 16, 2012:
A new set of grey rims for the F40So this is V1.2 of my 4-wide LEGO Ferrari F40

This is my 4-wide model of the Lotus Esprit Series 1 (S1) as used by James Bond in the movie “The Spy Who Loved Me”

This model also was part of my second DESIGNbyME set. The 1×4 slopes aren’t available in the LEGO Shop, so I ordered them via Bricklink and in the set I ordered 1×4 bows instead.

Rear left view. I realized that the rear end looks very much like the one of Angka’s Esprit. Believe it or not, I didn’t copy that. It was just the best way to build the rear end of a 4-wide Esprit and we did it the same way. But I have to admit that Angka’s Esprit was the inspiration for me to build one myself. I had seen his version a few weeks before starting with this one.

As the James Bond car it also needs a submarine mode. This is it:

The design is modular: You can take off the front and rear part and replace them by the submarine parts. The other way it’s a bit more tricky, but it still works OK.

So this is my 4-wide LEGO 007 Lotus Esprit S1. I hope you like it…
