The annual LEGO April Fool’s Day gag introduces LEGO Auto, answering the question none of us have been asking: what if the LEGO Group made real-life cars?
Forget your Audis, your Skodas, your BMWs: what you really want is a LEGO-branded car on your driveway, marrying up nicely with your LEGO house, LEGO job and LEGO haircut. (All of those things are possible to achieve. Just saying.) That’s the premise on which LEGO Auto is built, as the LEGO Group dreams up what life would be like if we all drove LEGO cars.
The video posted to the official LEGO social channels shows off a pretty unassuming red car that has plenty of neat LEGO touches up its sleeve: brick separator door handles, a frog gearstick, minifigure head door projector lights, and so on. The steering wheel is comprised of two black LEGO hot dogs; the infotainment is playing ‘Everything is Awesome’; and the headlights each feature the LEGO logo, just like studs.
As far as LEGO April Fool’s Day jokes go it’s not a terrible one, and some budget has clearly gone into rendering this video (assuming it’s not just AI – you never know). For our money it tops last year’s cursed minifigures with real-life hair, 2024’s 100,000-piece Minions model and 2023’s custom horse build, although 2022’s unnerving Maxifigure is still the one to beat.
