Nobody who works at Top Gear ever really grew up. This explains two things. First, the state of the office it"s a tip and second, our love of all things Lego. Especially those big, complicated kits from the Technic series like the 3,599-piece Bugatti Chiron, complete with working eight-speed, dual-clutch transmission and W16 engine. This one looks promising, too. It"s the third model to emanate from Lego"s tie-up with Volvo Commercial Vehicles. The first two were admirably faithful replicas of existing machines the L350F and EW160E but this oneisn"t. Not by a long shot. ZEUX" is what Lego, Volvo and many children think the future of construction equipment looks like. Developed (over two years) as a Lego model first, then turned into a full-on digital prototype Volvo promises could theoretically be built "tomorrow", it"s an autonomous, electric front-loader with a camera boom called the Eye" and a deployable scout drone. To our eyes, it looks a bit like Disney"s Wall-E. And sure enough, we"re told the loveable little robot was one of the design inspirations.
