BMW i8 Spyder - Spiderman
What better car for Spiderman, than a Spyder?
More specifically, a BMW i8 Spyder.
In selecting this model to build as the Spiderman car I considered a number of Spidey requirements.
1. The car must be fast - The petrol/electric i8, despite deploying a 1.5 litre 3-cylinder engine, is undoubtedly fast
2. Must be easy to enter/exit. This is the SPyder part. Not roof, and in concept form, no doors, makes jumping in and out easy for our superhero.
3. Vehicle must be able to follow along. This is one of the keys to the BMW i8. The electric driveline, along with a whole bunch of autonomous vehicle technologies, allows the i8 to follow Spiderman through the street network, avoiding other traffic, and interpreting traffic signals (and breaking the rules if required).
4. Must look cool - The BMW i8 is undoubtedly cool. All new, and with groovy sweeping bodywork, the i8 is one of the few cars available today that integrates the blue / red Spiderman colour scheme.
As you can see, Spiderman looks very pleased with himself too.
This Lego miniland-scale BMW i8 Spyder has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 100th Build Challenge - our Centenary, titled 'One Hundred Ways to Win!'. In this challenge, a list of 100 challenges is available, kept by the admins. Individuals wishing to enter, request a number from 1-100 (so long as it has not already been requested) - and the admins assign the individual build challenge associated with that number.
In the case of admins entering models - they request that a general LUGNuts member assigns a number - and the admin must build to that challenge number.
In this case, the number 14 was chosen for me, corresponding to the challenge: #14.Design a vehicle for Spiderman or Green Lantern.
