![]() The rear end of the vehicle was perhaps the biggest challenge to recreate in lego form, as its just so steep in shape and full of tiny details. I built the front in a modular fashion, so modifying it or replacing it can be done easily. Many small details were implemented to make the model true to life, such as the hidden windshield wipers and the curve behind the front wheel arch. The tricky part about this car, is that its front is very smooth in form and short in height. The front end looks quite simplistic, but is in fact complex from the inside. I thus used a 1/24 model kit of the car to get a good comparative index, as 8-wide cars are roughly 1/24-1/25 scale. In the development of this model, i understood that having accurate proportions and profile is crucial if i want the model to be instantly recognizable for what it is. The only "illegal" tech i used is painting the front reflectors with a silver sharpie, as they are very important for the front fascia look in my opinion. The model is 100% legal, and uses all original lego parts. This is an 8-wide model of the face lifted design (DS20-DS23 style). I had to build a model of one myself, and after years of development (literally), here is the final model: Later models even featured turn-following headlights that also adjust according to the cars height. It also featured a fiberglass roof along with aluminum body panels to make it light weight, plastic dials to help with production costs, and of course the unique design that helped with the drag co-efficient. The DS featured hydropneumatic suspension that gave it the "magic carpet ride" along with full self-leveling. I also love this car for many of its innovative and unique features. This car is like nothing else on the road, with outstanding looks and some amazing engineering put into it. Z E N E lights up your likes, you light up life.After 2+ years of development and over 20 revisions i decided i can't delay the publication of this model anymore.Įver since i've learnt about the existence of the DS, i was obsessed about it. Since then, we focus on high-quality MOC blocks and Light Kit for LEGO ® sets. ![]() Our inspiration comes from "Lighting is the soul of LEGO".
