This blog explores the PowerBlock PB8862 LiShou Technic, a unique power block car that captures the heart of Chinese tuning culture. Inspired by the real-life collaboration between Fast & Furious star Sung Kang and Simon’s Garage, this 456-piece car model transforms a humble 90s wagon into a high-performance beast.

Is This Han’s Personal Taste in China?
When you think of Fast & Furious, you definitely remember Han—the guy who’s always snacking and drifting like he’s dancing. But you might not know that the actor, Sung Kang, actually brought his car build dreams to China.
He teamed up with his old pal Daniel Wu and Simon’s Garage to turn a vintage Chinese car into a fierce machine called "LiShou." This power block car we are talking about today is the mini version of that legendary ride.
You will find it is not just another car model, but a piece of art full of stories. Ready to see the wild history behind this retro beast? Let's take a look at the unexpected original car that started it all.
The Story Behind the Beast: From Retro Wagon to Godzilla Heart
Image source: panin1x on Instagram
This car looks incredibly cool now, but its roots are surprisingly humble. If you look back at the streets of Guangzhou in the 90s, the boxy "old wagon" known as the Jingan Yunbao YB6470 was everywhere. This vehicle was actually the localized version of the Nissan Cedric Y30 wagon. It carries the memories of an entire generation.
Sung Kang and his crew did something that would make any car enthusiast scream with excitement. Instead of scrapping this "old-timer," they chose to give it a new life by stuffing a high-performance RB26 engine inside. Yes, you read that right—it's the legendary "Godzilla" heart that strikes fear into its rivals.
This power block car perfectly captures this extreme contrast. It combines the gentle look of a vintage wagon with a wild, high-powered soul. The name "LiShou" comes from an ancient Chinese cat god, symbolizing a mysterious and ancient protective power.
You will find plenty of surprises while building this car model. It seamlessly stitches together the spirit of a mythical beast with hard-core modern tuning technology. This is the unique romance of the Chinese car scene, and you will understand it the moment you lay eyes on it.
Visual Hit: This Racing Orange Is a Total Head-Turner!
The moment you lay eyes on the PB8862 LiShou, you will notice just how "right" the color feels. The color choice is like a visual bomb that hits your aesthetic senses instantly. The vast bright orange surface isn't just flashy; it carries a professional racing vibe. Combined with the black racing stripes running through the body, it perfectly recreates the "star of the show" energy from the real car at GT Show. If you put this car model on your shelf or display case, it will definitely be the piece that your friends notice first.
The most captivating thing about this power block car is its aggressive stance. Instead of just stacking blocks, the designers cleverly used technical parts to shape the heavy look of a wide-body kit. That low-profile, ground-hugging posture captures the "big boss" vibe of vintage wagons perfectly.
When you look closely at the lines, you will see how the flared wheel arches give the whole vehicle a powerful sense of strength. This visual impact makes you feel like you can almost hear the engine roaring under the hood. Building this car model feels like participating in a high-end tuning project yourself. You will find that every color contrast is full of the designer's thoughts. This rebellious and unique character is exactly what makes this power block car a special experience for you.
