Research Dossier · 1957 Troll 7 Plastik
Use this as reference context for AI or for your own design notes. The LEGO model should respect the strange, charming proportions of the original Norwegian fiberglass microcar:
- Body: glass-reinforced plastic (fiberglass), one of the earliest European plastic production cars.
- Chassis: Gutbrod Superior frame, lengthened ~15 cm for the Troll’s body.
- Layout: 2+2 sports microcar with rounded, almost bubble-like roof and short overhangs.
- Engine: 700 cc straight-twin two-stroke Gutbrod unit with Bosch fuel injection, about 30 hp.
- Performance: top speed around 130 km/h, consumption about 5 L/100 km (≈47 mpg).
- Design: front end with three-slot grille and rounded headlamps; smooth sides; minimal trim; tiny wheels.
- Story: developed by engineer Per Kohl-Larsen using Trippel’s molds; revealed to the press in 1956, with the first customer car delivered May 1, 1957.
Your LEGO clone should feel light, experimental, and slightly quirky: thin fiberglass body panels suggested with curved slopes, compact wheelbase, and a strong internal Technic spine for stability despite the small footprint.
