    Per Kia, it was BrickVision, who helped the company build the EV6 model.

    The work, per the South Korean car brand, required more than 800 manhours. Italy’s first and only Lego Certified Professional Riccardo Zangelmi, helped Kia create “Brick to the Future.” His company BrickVision spent four months working on the project and even came up with a functioning lighting system to ensure the EV6's highly distinctive lighting personality remains visible from every angle.

    Launched in 2021, the EV6 is the first of 15 fully electric models to be introduced globally by Kia by 2027.

    The Kia EV6 is built on the company’s revolutionary E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform) architecture and will soon be joined by the EV9 — a futuristic three-row sport utility vehicle developed with the same technology and offering fully electric motoring and space for up to seven occupants.
