A life-size Lego supercar built from more than 300,000 bricks has hit a record-breaking 69mph – in a fully drivable model made almost entirely from the iconic plastic blocks.
The Lego Technic Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear is constructed from 327,906 Lego elements and weighs approximately 1,800kg, with around 400kg made up of Lego pieces.
It took more than 9,400 hours to design and build the astonishing vehicle, which has now been officially confirmed as a fully functioning, high-speed driving model, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Despite its unconventional construction, the car features a lightweight body made entirely from Lego Technic elements and includes intricate working details designed to mirror the real Koenigsegg hypercar.
Among its most impressive features is a working ‘Ghost Mode’, along with a fully functional replica of Koenigsegg’s signature key.
Even the steering, structure and internal mechanisms have been carefully integrated to ensure the vehicle operates as closely as possible to its real-world counterpart.
The record-breaking run saw the Lego-built hypercar reach a top speed of 69mph, marking a milestone moment for the project team behind the ambitious build.
A video of the event, from LEGO, was viewed over 6.6m times, with 71,800 likes and 1,300 comments.
