Since 1949, the Danish company Lego has been producing interlocking bricks from which we can build various objects. Over time, they have become sophisticated so that we can create different cars even in full size. In early 2024, we saw a Ferrari 296 GTS made of Lego bricks, and now the company has presented a replica of the Ferrari SF-24 made of 562,000 bricks.

The Ferrari SF-24 is a Formula 1 car that was driven by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz during the 2024 season. The replica was designed by Riccardo Zangelmi, the only Italian LEGO certified professional who did not leave out a single detail during his work, from aerodynamics to all 80 logos that are on the original car, and it took him 1,200 hours of work.

The F1 car took over 100 hours to assemble and only used colored bricks.

Of course, Lego has also released a smaller 1:8 scale version made up of 1,361 bricks. This one doesn’t skimp on the original car’s detailing either, and even comes with a two-speed gearbox, a V6 engine with a rotating MGU-H unit, an adjustable rear wing, and moving wheels. The price of this set is $229.99.

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.
