To celebrate the Australian Grand Prix this weekend in Melbourne, LEGO teamed up with McLaren to build a life-sized F1 car using 288,315 parts. It took a team of 27 brick artists a total of 1,893-hours to build 18.7-foot long and 7.9-foot wide race car.
There is a LEGO Technic model around 8.5-times smaller that you can actually buy, but this life-sized version is a one-off creation. Despite being made of LEGO, it still boasts a V6 engine with functional pistons, suspension system, differential lock, and a steering wheel in the cockpit. Plus, it even has a removable halo that makes it easy to access the driver’s seat.
