A typical car made out of LEGO® bricks can fit in your hand. But this one—built with more than 300,000 LEGO pieces—is as big as a real race car. And a person can actually sit inside and drive it!
The LEGO car’s design is based on an actual car—the McLaren P1. It took the LEGO company about 8,000 hours to plan and build the car. The vehicle has real tires, a metal frame, and an electric battery. But almost everything else is made out of LEGO pieces!
After the car was built, race car driver Lando Norris took it out for a lap around a track. The LEGO P1 can’t compete with the real P1, which zooms around at a speedy 217 miles (349 kilometers) per hour. But Norris found the LEGO car reached an impressive 40 miles (64 kilometers) per hour, as fast as a greyhound dog!
