In 1932, a Danish carpenter founded the Lego Group, which produced wooden toys. After the end of WWII (in 1947), Lego expanded its production to plastic toys, and two years later began the production of interlocking bricks. Until today, Lego produced interlocking bricks, from which many famous buildings and cars were assembled. Over the years, Lego model cars have become quite sophisticated, and there are more and more life-sized ones like this Ferrari 296 GTS.

A ten-member team took part in the assembly of the Ferrari 296 GTS Lego model, spending 1,850 working hours. Attention was paid to even the smallest details to make the car as realistic as possible. Functional front and rear lights, illuminated number plates, opening doors and the entire interior are all made from Lego bricks, except for the steering wheel that belongs to the real car. The dashboard is made in a combination of beige and black Lego bricks, and there are two deep seats. Even Ferrari’s V6 engine is made of Lego bricks.

It is not known how many Lego bricks were used in the assembly of the car, and it should be noted that this model weighs almost two tons, which is more than the original 296 GTS (1,540 kg).

This isn’t the first life-size car made out of Lego bricks. Earlier we could see Land Rover’s Defender, Ferrari F40, Volvo V70, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Fiat models.

The car is located in Legoland Florida and will be exhibited until March 8.
