Description
Lego does not always mean blocky! With proper part usage and some smooth angling you can achieve very pleasantly looking effect.This little thing was built in just three hours as an entry in a contest in our LUG.

How do you do all of these angles? I've tried some out, but I can't get it right.

This is just brilliant! So smooth and eye-pleasing.

Man, you are amazing. Lego is, by nature, a blocky medium. But you make it look completely fluid.

Do you have a parts-list and a building order for this one? i actually think i will go by the parts myself to get one of these up and running

No, sorry. I generally don't make instructions, as it serves no purpose for me. It takes as much time or even more than building the actual model itself, so I prefer to spend that time on something new, or more productive.
That said, Auriga is built with simplicity in mind, so it should be possible to model it in LDD.

hmm... ok! IΒ΄ll take the challange
Do you have some more shots of it? Or do you want to leave it to my imagination? ^^

Wow, just looking at it, the design is so sleek it's hard to tell it's even LEGO!

Masterful use of Lego. Very impressed. Is it electric or hybrid?

Thanks! Also thanks to everyone else for appreciation; never enough of this commodity! ^^
I like to think that "my future" solved the issue of basic antigravity, there are also force fields, energy weapons and some form of FTL travel but it is pretty much this. You still have to worry about getting (and storing) energy, there are still computers in use, things break apart due to being cheap and so on...
Generally - much lower tech level than Star Trek for example. So this hovercar has a repulsor device which provides lift, but engines are actually sort of jet engines or ion engines. Probably uses both fuel and electricity. This is also why there are no winglets in this version - the company managed to perfect the flight systems to a level where they are no longer needed, unlike first Auriga which had two large wings and second which had one but - again - large one.

Sweet...
Any chance us not-so-talented folks could get a how-to to build one? Β Or is that strictly out of the question?
