- Lego unveiled 10 life-size, fully drivable electric F1 cars at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix drivers' parade on May 4 at the Miami International Autodrome.
- The project followed Lego's recent F1 partnership and originated from a leadership brainstorming session to create an epic, large-scale build.
- A team of 26 designers and engineers worked over eight months and 22,000 hours at Lego's Kladno factory in the Czech Republic to build the cars using nearly four million bricks.
- Each car consisted of about 400,000 bricks weighing 1,500 kilograms, powered by an 8kW electric motor reaching 20 km/h, and included non-Lego chassis, tires, and steering components.
- After the parade lap, the models are set to tour globally, showcasing Lego’s creativity and strengthening its F1 partnership while appealing to fans worldwide.
