Intense Competition for LEGO: China's CaDA unveils astonishing Audi R8 replica made of bricks

In the competitive world of brick-building, a new player has emerged. CaDA, a Chinese company, was founded in 2016 and has quickly made its mark in the industry. CaDA is not trying to undercut LEGO on price while sacrificing quality, but is going head-to-head on premium builds with comparable complexity and superior value.

The entertainment core of CaDA is building blocks that combine creativity, education, and play to engage users effectively. Their latest release, a 1:14 scale Audi R8 Coupe 2019, is a testament to this approach.

CaDA secured official Audi licensing for the Audi R8 set, ensuring authentic details. The set demonstrates high build quality and attention to detail, with the interior featuring brown seats that resemble premium automotive trim. The rear section of the set features proper diffuser detailing and realistic exhaust placement, while the wheel design mimics the multi-spoke rims of the real Audi R8.

One of the unique selling points of CaDA is their focus on creating original designs that push boundaries, rather than copying LEGO. The Audi R8 set is a prime example of this, with its hybrid building approach that combines Technic-style framework construction with smooth system pieces. This method results in a sleek supercar aesthetic, with open sections above the doors and around the engine bay revealing mechanical complexity.

The Audi R8 set also includes working steering and opening features, adding an extra element of play value. Reports suggest the brick quality of the set is remarkably close to LEGO standards, demonstrating mechanical precision expected by Technic fans.

CaDA is part of the Double Eagle Group and their product range includes complex mechanical sets, licensed vehicles, and architectural marvels. The Audi R8 set measures approximately 14 inches long and consists of around 1,600 pieces, making it a challenging and rewarding build for enthusiasts.

In conclusion, CaDA is a company to watch in the brick-building industry. With their focus on originality, quality, and innovation, they are offering a compelling alternative to LEGO for fans of premium builds. The Audi R8 set is just the beginning, and we look forward to seeing what CaDA has in store for the future.
