Life size Lego car that runs on air

Half a million Lego pieces put together in an amazing life size air powered car that is able to reach speeds up to 20 mph, how incredible does that sound?

When there is will, there is a way and these two Australian fellows, Steve Sammartino and Raul Oaida are a perfect proof for just that. Imagine having more than 500,000 lego pieces and turning them into a fully functions life-size two-seater you can actually drive at speeds up to 20 mph (32 km/h).

Further more this fetching looking Lego hot rod's engine is also built from standard Lego pieces and it runs on air. Yes you read it correctly, it is powered by nothing but air.
