The Brickman Awesome exhibition in Melbourne will host the unveiling of a life-sized Lego Toyota Camry replica.
With more than 500,000 Lego bricks used to create the rendition of the all-new Toyota Camry, the replica weighs in at two tones, which is actually 0.4 tonnes more than the original vehicle.
Depicted with the little bricks are signature features of the Camry such as Toyota logos on the alloy wheels, hybrid lettering, working headlights, indicators and brake lights.
Toyota Australia chief designer Nicolas Hogios said: "We're so excited to introduce the all-new Toyota Camry in a fun and interactive environment to Melburnians."
"It's amazing to see how quickly the car was put together in such a streamlined approach - much like our own design process locally in Australia."
"The dedication and time that has been put into this one-of-a-kind project really meshes with Toyota's dedication to the quality, durability and reliability of our respective products. It also provides us a fun platform to showcase the stylish Camry design in a different and interactive way."

Ryan 'The Brickman' McNaught, the only Lego-certified professional in the southern hemisphere and one of only 14 in the world, is responsible for designing the Lego Camry.
He said, "I'm so excited to be unveiling my newest Lego creation - a life-sized Toyota Camry - at Brickman Awesome in Melbourne. It's taken over two months to build and comprises more than 500,000 bricks, but I'm really pleased with the outcome and can't wait to see what everyone else thinks of it! I'm delighted we have partnered with Toyota and I've had this opportunity to build my first full-scale Lego car."
Over 900 painstaking hours were spent assembling the high-quality replica over eight weeks. Altogether that is 40 times longer than it takes Toyota to stamp panels, weld, paint, assemble and inspect a single car.
The Lego Toyota Camry will be on display at the Brickman Awesome exhibition in Melbourne Museum Plaza from Wednesday 21st of March until Sunday 29th of April 2018 with tickets available at Ticketek.
