Here is an interview with Steve Sammartino (Australia) and Raul Oaida (Romania) on their efforts to build the car. The project built a fullsize car out of lego ($60,000 worth of legos) with a lego engine that works on air. It really is an interesting interview.
In the interview they mentioned they have reached up to 25 km/hour and believe it will reach 40 km/hour.
And here is a video on their earlier “Lego Space Shuttle” (that reached a max altitude of 35,000 meters).

Great article! Who hasn’t wanted to build something totally full size and functional with Legos?!
Okay, that car is very cool. I can’t say that spending $60K on the project was a great idea but if you have the money to burn, why not.
Nice project 😀
The kid in me is hyperventilating!
