The design comes equipped with opening doors and even a sun roof, giving the original Porsche a run for its money. The design was done by Sheepo, and he did not leave any detail unnoticed. From the intricate engine underneath the car to the trunk that opens with ease, this LEGO car is almost better than the real one. One may even mistake it for a [Hotwheel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-and-daniel-arsham) ready to be wound up and set loose. Either way the design is stunning with incredible attention to detail. **Implications** - Consumers are enticed by objects that remind them of childhood as this provides a sense of escapism from a busy life.
