Fully functional Lego Tumbler is much better than yours

The auction might be over on eBay but it still is fantastic to look at. The guy behind this Tumbler (and Batpod, and 80’s Batmobile etc) spent hours giving it as many details as possible and making it functional, but he also made comic strips and videos… insane! Thanks Gabriel for the tip! Want to see an 80’s Batmobile montage with “Push it to the limit”... Read More

Speed Racer: the videogame

Coming up with a racing video game a couple weeks after Gran Turismo 5 hit the shelves can sounds like a risky idea, but when you’re wearing the Speed Racer name and have all the buzz generated by the movie with you, it might not be that dangerous. The in-game video (that you can watch below) reminds us of games like F-Zero, Wipe-Out, TrackMania and Mario Kart (the Nintendo... Read More

Speed Racer: new Italian TV spot

digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/20/speed-racer-new-italian-tv-spot/'; This new trailer brings us more images, including the Mach 6 transformation AND it’s very cool to see it in Italian.

It’s all handmade and would probably please hard-core Bond fans (we’ll pass, thank you). To be precise, even though the DB6 was visually similar to the DB5, only the latter was... Read More
