As you know, “Fast 9” has pushed back its theatrical release date by a year and will now open globally in April 2021. Hopefully we will be allowed out to see it then but if that's too long for you to wait, there's something here to tide you over with. One of the most iconic cars in the franchise is Dominic Toretto’s 1970 Dodge Charger R/T and on April 27 it will be available as a Lego set. Since you're stuck at home like the rest of us, this will be the perfect way to pass some time! Image Credit: Lego

And, since the model is a part of Lego’s Technic line, it means it won’t just look cool but it will also include some moving parts! Image Credit: Lego

You might remember that Toretto, played by Vin Diesel, is scared to drive the Charger in the first Fast and Furious movie until he really needs to at the end, and you might be just as scared to build this model because it is pretty complicated... Image Credit: Lego

It even has a wheelie bar underneath so it can be displayed in a nearly upright position - like it's seen in the movie - after you have finished making it. Image Credit: Lego

The vehicle has a working suspension and steering - and of course, two nitrous oxide tanks in the boot. Image Credit: Lego

Based on the trailer, the latest installment looks like it will be as action packed as the others judging by that rocket-powered Pontiac Fiero and a Charger swinging across a massive canyon! Image Credit: Lego
