Lego cars are all the rage right now. Creators have been building all sorts of vehicles with the little plastic blocks, from a Lancia Stratos to a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. And now, the first-generation Volkswagen Golf GTI could receive the official Lego treatment.
This set, posted by user Athabaska on Lego’s “Ideas” creator site, is an impressively accurate and well-thought-out build of the famous Mark 1 GTI hot hatch. Featuring a red-trimmed fascia and even a neat titled license plate, it looks like the ultimate holiday gift for the gearhead in your family.

Perhaps the most impressive part of this design isn’t the exterior, but rather the nicely laid out, extremely detailed interior. It comes complete with a correct-style dashboard, steering wheel, and even two rows of seating. The car also has a working hood, which flips up to reveal a makeshift Lego engine. Sadly, we don’t think it’s functional.

This isn’t the first VW that could get a miniature Lego version of itself. That title went to the iconic Beetle, which gained enough support to make it to Lego’s Creator marketplace. Seeing as how popular the original GTI is among enthusiasts, we don’t think the set will have a problem making it to production.
