A full-size Lego Koenigsegg sets a speed record (6 photos)
Lego and Koenigsegg have unveiled a new Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar set, inspired by the Sadair's Spear hypercar. The set costs €450 in Europe, with sales beginning in July. However, a far more unusual project is the collaboration's full-scale replica of the car, which has been accelerated to track speed. 
The miniature car, developed in collaboration with engineers from the Swedish automaker, is built at a 1:8 scale, consists of 4,104 pieces, and boasts a high level of detail. It features independent suspension, a V8 engine with moving pistons, functional steering, folding side mirrors, a removable roof, and a working 9-speed transmission.
One of the key features of the set is a special mechanism that allows for a single movement to activate show mode, which synchronously opens the doors, raises the hood, and folds the mirrors. When assembled, the toy hypercar measures 59 centimeters long.
The life-size replica of the Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear is comprised of 327,906 Lego pieces. Its construction took over 9,400 man-hours. The total weight of the car is approximately 1,800 kilograms, of which 400 are the Lego pieces. Underneath them is a metal frame, and the Lego hypercar is propelled by an electric motor on the rear axle.
This Sadair's Spear has already set a speed record: at the Goodwood track in England, Koenigsegg test driver Markus Lund was able to reach a speed of 111 km/h (68 mph), more than doubling the previous speed record for full-scale Lego models, which was 50 km/h (31 mph).
The Sadair's Spear hypercar itself is named after the last racehorse of Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of the Swedish brand's founder, Christian von Koenigsegg. The model, unveiled in 2025, is an even more extreme and track-focused version of the Koenigsegg Jesko.
