Fifth Element Hot Rod Space Taxi

This movie is hands-down one of my favorite sci-fi films of all time. It features incredible actors, exciting action, fantastic music, and a love-conquers-all storyline, wrapped into an immersive futuristic landscape environment that has become instantly recognizable.

One of my favorite scenes is the introduction of Leeloo to Korben Dallas in his retro-futuristic Hot Rod Space Taxi, which kicks off their movie relationship and features an incredible chase scene.

My design features 729 parts, is 10" long x 4" wide x 4.5" tall, and designed in a SNOT (studs not on top) fashion, with curvy lines and simplistic elegance as seen in the movie. The Hot Rod Space Taxi is presented atop a sleek display stand, given the appearance that it is really floating.

The Hot Rod Space Taxi features a removable roof to expose a detailed, brick-built interior, with space for two minifigs (one up front and one behind), and even space in the trunk for a suitcase. The interior includes flight controls and foot pedals, driver-and-passenger glass partition, and movie-accurate windows in the front and back. The exterior features hover jets below and accelerator jets behind. The front engine compartment opens to reveal a removable futuristic energy engine.

If this Idea receives enough support, I'd love to model a police car version to accompany this Idea, and include a Leeloo and Korben minifig, and perhaps a Zorg, Ruby Rod, Cornelius, David, and Mangalore figures as well. Of course, cannot forget the actual 4 elemental stones!
