LEGO has just taken the wrapper from the latest Creator Expert set, 10295 Porsche 911 Turbo & 911 Targa. The set contains a massive 1,458 pieces and contains the pieces to build a classic 1970s and 1980s Porsche 911 in one of two configurations: the wide-phoned 911 Turbo with an iconic whale tail, or the stylish 911 Targa with a removable top.

There is a complete interior with dark orange bricks that match the leather upholstery of the real car.

Both the bonnet and the bonnet are also open. The roof panel of the Targa can be stored in the front luggage compartment. The Targa version was designed by Mike Psiaki, who appeared regularly on TBB before joining LEGO as a designer, and the license plate P51AK3 is a direct reference to his name.

The set will use several new elements to capture the 911’s distinctive shape, such as new large slopes for the rear quarter panels, as well as the screens on the Turbo.

To swap the 911 of the Turbo-to-Targa model, replace the entire roof with the distinctive black track of the Targa, jump off the whale tail, replace the rear fenders with slimmer ones and swap the number plates of the European black and white – white style to yellow New York plates.

Here’s a look at both the Targa and Turbo in a beautiful scale designed by LEGO. The posters on the wall are part of a promo offered by LEGO for VIP members who order the set.

Customers who order the range via the VIP program will receive a bonus package of free Portion themes, including a LEGO Porsche card wallet, four art prints and a “Certificate of Awesomeness”. LEGO says the promotions are limited according to the amount that comes before the foot, the first time, but they have not disclosed how many are available.
