It seems like LEGO has taken its obsession with speed and cars to another level, unveiling a life-size replica of the ultra-exclusive Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear made from an eye-watering number of pieces. The brick-built hypercar was created to celebrate the launch of a new 4,104-piece Technic set, which arrives for LEGO Insiders on July 1 before getting a wider release on July 4 for $450. To add more thrill to this, this LEGO car is actually drivable!
LEGO drops Koenigsegg supercar set with insane number of pieces
To prove the recently launched model, made of 327,906 pieces, is more than just a display piece, the iconic toy company handed the wheel to Markus Lundh, the same driver trusted with the real Sadair’s Spear.
Lundh, who holds the Goodwood hillclimb record for the fastest production car, pushed the brick-built Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear to 69 mph, smashing the previous record of 31 mph set by LEGO’s McLaren P1 recreation. According to Motor1, the experience felt surprisingly close to driving the genuine hypercar.
The feat required months of work at LEGO’s Kladno factory in Czechia. Builders spent more than 9,400 hours assembling the full-size model, which weighs around 1,800 kg, with roughly 400 kg coming from the plastic bricks themselves.
Despite its unusual construction, the replica retained one of the Sadair’s Spear’s most dramatic features: Ghost Mode. At the press of a button, the doors swing open, the hood lifts, and the mirrors fold in, mimicking the real car (via Dexerto).
Additionally, LEGO and Koenigsegg introduced a fresh black-and-orange color scheme for the replica, opting against the original dark brown finish, which reportedly lost some of its impact when recreated with plastic pieces.
With only 30 real Sadair’s Spear hypercars in existence, the brick-built version might end up being the closest most fans ever get to experiencing the 1,603-horsepower machine. With fans overjoyed with this news, so it’s honestly hard to imagine what LEGO might think of next!
