Ferrari SF-24 made of 562,000 Lego bricks

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.

Lamborghini Urus with BKSS Part Carbon Fiber Wide Body Kit

Since the Lamborghini Urus arrived on the market, it quickly gained great popularity and became the basis of many Tuner projects. One of the last ones to be presented is the work of the tuner company DarwinPRO Aerodynamics, which equipped this model with the Performante BKSS Part Carbon Fiber Wide Body Kit.

At first glance, it looks like DarwinPRO Aerodynamics copied or took inspiration from Mansory’s creation. The car is covered in matte purple foil and equipped with a multitude of carbon components that include a front grille with a splitter, new carbon air intake covers, a radiator grille, a new hood, as well as new sills, a rear diffuser and a fixed carbon wing. There are also custom fenders, which fit perfectly with the aftermarket 23″ wheels.

There were no changes under the bonnet. The Urus is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine with 657 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 305 km/h.

The body kit is compatible with 2022-2025 Lamborghini Urus S & Performante.

The Nissan GT-R R35 has come to an end

In 2007, Nissan introduced the GT-R R35 sports car, and two decades later it came to an end. It will be remembered as one of the best super sports cars of all time.

The last day of February was the last chance for anyone interested in Japan to order their car, as Nissan announced that the order book was closed. “We have received numerous orders for the Nissan GT-R and have now stopped accepting them. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all our customers for their support since the model was introduced in 2007.”

The Nissan GT-R R35 is powered by a 3.8 L twin-turbocharged V6 engine whose power has, over time, grown from the original 487 hp (358 kW) in the 2009 model to 608 hp (447 kW) in the current 2023 model. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with manual shifting mode. It reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (315 km / h).

Nissan withdrew this model from the European and UK markets in 2022, while earlier it did the same in the markets of Australia and New Zealand.

In 2023, Nissan unveiled the Hyper Force Concept, which pays tribute to the GT-R R35 by design. It is a high-performance electric supercar with active aerodynamic components, which provide better air flow, providing better stability and handling. It is equipped with a 1,000 kWh battery that enables a power of 1,341 hp which, thanks to e-4ORCE technology, is sent to all wheels.
