Meet the Queen of the Top Gear Test Track..

Mercedes-Benz AMG released these pictures of the record breaking Pagani Huayra hypercar to celebrate the accomplishment. The Italian beauty powered by a bespoke 6.0-liter AMG V12 engine achieved a stunning lap time of 1:13.8 seconds at the Top Gear test track, the fastest ever for a road legal supercar. In fact the Huayra's lap time is just 3 seconds behind the more powerful, not road legal Zonda R race car. We think that the Huayra will remain at the top of the lap time board for a while.. at least until the future McLaren P1 or the Ferrari F150 show up!

LEGO Dreams: A Fully Functional LEGO Technic Pagani Zonda

Photo credits: Sariel
If you grew up mounting LEGO Technic Sets using nothing but instructions without leaving room for your imagination, you will feel ashamed after watching this. This Polish LEGO genius built a fully functional motorized Pagani Zonda. I have an admiration for the work done here and how the electric motor and the battery found their place in such a small structure.

There are plenty of fully functional awesome projects made by Pawel "Sariel" Kmiec that require much more skills than just being a LEGO artist. So you better hurry up to his site and have a look. You can also buy his "Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide" is which he exposes techniques that might help you (or not) build your own Zonda!

The motorized LEGO Zonda also features fully functional push-rod suspension and can achieve a top speed of 15.4 Km/h (nearly 10 mph). You can see it in action in the video after the jump.

This fantastic creation surely deserves its place among our personal favourites including this Porsche 917K by Ming Thein.
