The project includes a new LEGO Technic model launching in July, along with a full-size drivable version built from LEGO Technic elements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">To mark the launch, LEGO and Koenigsegg brought the life-size LEGO Technic Sadair&#8217;s Spear to Goodwood, where it tackled the estate&#8217;s famous hill climb course. The vehicle was driven by Koenigsegg test driver Markus Lundh, who previously set the hill climb record in the real Sadair&#8217;s Spear during the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed.<\/p>\n<p>New Speed Record<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Running the course in reverse, the LEGO vehicle reached a top speed of 111 km\/h. According to LEGO, that makes it the fastest drivable LEGO car the company has built and creates a new category of speed record at Goodwood.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">The full-scale LEGO Technic Sadair&#8217;s Spear is made from 327,906 LEGO elements and weighs about 1,800 kg, including roughly 400 kg of LEGO pieces. Development and construction took more than 9,400 hours. The model includes a body built from LEGO Technic elements, a working version of Koenigsegg&#8217;s Ghost Mode, and a functioning replica of the company&#8217;s signature key.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"real life lego car sets new speed record\" width=\"976\" height=\"549\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"fig-image-round\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/autoguide_com_450\/aa3e61a436f8ffaca98801879e73f2e9.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>real life lego car sets new speed record<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Christian von Koenigsegg, CEO of Koenigsegg, said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">&#8220;Innovation and extreme performance are at the core of everything we do. To see the Sadair&#8217;s Spear recreated not only as a highly detailed 1:8 scale LEGO Technic model, but also as a full-scale, drivable vehicle, is truly remarkable. Our partnership with the LEGO Group demonstrates how a shared passion for engineering and creativity can result in something extraordinary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Lundh added:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">&#8220;Getting the chance to take the driver&#8217;s seat of this life-size LEGO Technic build was an incredible privilege. It really did feel like I was handling a real Koenigsegg, bringing back memories of setting the speed record at Goodwood in the Sadair&#8217;s Spear in July 2025. It was awesome to set another record on this iconic course &#8211; a true testament to the level of engineering the LEGO Technic team has achieved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New Technic Model Includes Working Ghost Mode<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"real life lego car sets new speed record\" width=\"976\" height=\"651\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"fig-image-round\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/autoguide_com_450\/02e85ff6377937a2f7418287967e0e51.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>real life lego car sets new speed record<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">The new LEGO Technic Koenigsegg Sadair&#8217;s Spear Megacar becomes the sixth entry in the LEGO Technic Ultimate Car Concept Series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">The 1:8-scale model contains 4,104 pieces and includes several mechanical features inspired by the real car, including:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">A functional 9-speed transmission<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Koenigsegg&#8217;s Triplex front and rear suspension system<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">A rotating gear indicator that displays the selected gear<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"real life lego car sets new speed record\" width=\"976\" height=\"651\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"fig-image-round\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/autoguide_com_450\/8fbb2706887f42d36c277755a3886af5.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>real life lego car sets new speed record<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">One of the key features is a working version of Ghost Mode.

Incorporating features such as a working Ghost Mode, a 9-speed sequential gearbox and the unique Triplex suspension system -all firsts for a Technic Ultimate model &#8211; pushed the boundaries of what&#8217;s possible.
