This Life-Size Lego Ferrari 296 GTS Weighs More Than The Real Car

Legoland Florida has a new Ferrari-themed attraction with a 15-foot-long Ferrari 296... made entirely from Lego bricks.

Lego car models have gotten pretty sophisticated in recent years, with scale (and realistic!) vehicles in all sizes and makes. Lego Fiats, Lego Defenders, even a little Lego minifigure of Ayrton Senna have all been offered for sale in recent years.

Those creations, however, were tiny scale models. To commemorate the opening of a new Ferrari-themed attraction at Legoland Florida, the company kicked it up a notch and had a team of builders create a life-size replica of the Ferrari 296 GTS entirely out of bricks.

The model — which Lego says took a team of 10 people 1,850 hours to build — features working headlights, taillights, and license-plate illumination. The driver's door opens and the interior, also built entirely out of Lego bricks save for a real 296 GTS steering wheel, features a two-tone beige-and-black dash and a pair of what are likely to be the least-comfortable bucket seats in the world.

A Lego twin-turbo V6 pokes through the exposed rear window of the car. Despite being made almost entirely of plastic, it weighs more than a running, driving, 819-horsepower 296 GTS, with the Lego model clocking in at nearly two tons versus the real deal's 3,395 pounds.
