Lego builds a full-size Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear and it sets world record by becoming fastest ever Lego car

Lego has created a life-sized Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear and it’s set a world record as the world’s fastest Lego car.

While Star Wars playsets are more its usual fare, the Danish toy company is always willing to push the limits of what its product can do.

And that’s where this full-size Koenigsegg hypercar comes into play.

It’s a remarkable creation, made up of 327,000 Lego Technic elements.

Lego has really outdone itself with the Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear

Lego has taken its fair share of car builds in recent years, proving there’s just about nothing that those blocks can’t build.

We’ve seen the Ferrari 12Cilindri and the Bugatti Chiron being recreated in exquisite detail.

Now it was Koenigsegg’s turn to get the Lego treatment.

The Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear was recreated masterfully, made up of 327,000 Lego Technic elements, and weighing in at 1,800kg.

But it wasn’t the weight that really set this car apart, it’s the speed.

This Sadair’s Spear is capable of reaching top speeds of 69mph, setting a world record as the fastest Lego car ever built.

That beats out the previous record holders – a Bugatti Chiron (12mph) and a McLaren P1 (40mph).

An electric motor beats at the heart of this Koenigsegg replica, nestled inside a custom metal chassis.

Christian von Koenigsegg himself requested that the build include the hypercar’s distinctive traits – so the doors, the hood, and the engine cover all glide open electronically.

The car is filled with Easter eggs from the Lego brand

It took the design time in Czechia seven and a half months to build this car.

Along the way, it allowed them ample time to include plenty of Easter Eggs lifted out of other Lego sets.

The headlights used Star Wars ship canopies, while the taillights used windows from house/train sets.

The Triplex suspension system mimics its Öhlins dampers with the help of some gold wheel rims from a Ninjago set.

This build was a big undertaking

“This was the most complex build in the least amount of time of all the Lego Technic cars,” Lubor Zelinka, Lego’s design lead, told Top Gear.

“The other ask was to incorporate Koenigsegg’s famous Ghost Mode, so this is the first time we have had so many opening body panels on a full-size build. It’s not just a model anymore, it’s a vehicle.”

This car will be unveiled alongside a smaller scale-model kit.

Here’s the good news – you can buy the smaller kit for yourself.

It’ll be made up of 4,104 pieces and will stand at 6 inches tall and 23 inches long when finished.

If you want one for yourself, it’ll cost you $449.99.
