We got to see Lego's full-size Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear which became fastest ever Lego car and what was under the hood surprised us

This is the Lego Koenigsegg, a Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear built almost entirely out of Lego, and believe it or not it’s a real car.

It has doors, a hood and a trunk, seats, and even a motor.

It’s also the same size as a real Koenisegg.

They needed a lot of Lego bricks for this

Supercar Blondie presenter Chloe had the chance to check out the Lego Koenigsegg, which was built using 327,000 Lego pieces.

Practically everything is made of Lego.

The only exceptions are the obvious ones, like the chassis, the wheels, the brakes, the seats, the steering wheel, and so on.

One of the things that certainly aren’t made of Lego bricks is the roll cage.

And it needs one because this car actually drives.

With a top speed of 111 km/h – equivalent to around 65 mph – this is actually the fastest Lego car in the world.

And yes, we agree that it’s interesting that such a category even exists.

But there are a couple of caveats, one of which is under the hood.

This Lego Koenigsegg doesn’t have a V8, it has something else

The Lego Koenigsegg is inspired by the real Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear, a track-focused hypercar powered by a 5.0-liter V8 with 1,625 horsepower.

The problem is that fitting such a massive engine in a Lego car would’ve been a nightmare, and so Koenigsegg did something else.

While the V8 is a lot lighter than the electric motor, there would’ve been other problems, starting with the heat.

The massive heat produced by the V8 would’ve probably melted the Lego pieces.

Instead of fitting an internal combustion engine, they fitted a tiny electric motor.

That’s the first catch, but the second catch is perhaps even more relevant.

There’s only one in the world, and it’s not for sale.

Fans can, however, build the next best thing with the new LEGO Technic Ultimate Car Concept Series model.
