1:1 Scale McLaren 720S LEGO Replica

This is one of a handful of life-size vehicles created almost entirely of LEGOs. The LEGO McLaren 720S was first displayed at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed and created using over 280,000 LEGO pieces on the standard 720S' steel chassis. It also has actual wheels and Pirelli PZero Corsa tires attached to the replica. The LEGO 720S' assembly by a six-man crew from McLaren took more than 2,000 hours to complete. Compared to a mainstream 720S, the LEGO version is 372 pounds heavier, weighing in at 3,200 pounds. In regards to the real McLaren 720S, it is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque mated to a seven-speed automatic. It goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds onto a top speed of 212 mph. The 720S has a starting price of $284,745. Regardless of whether it is made of LEGO bricks or not, McLaren's current Super Series model is absolutely amazing and one of the best mid-engine supercars on the market today.

Ferrari 550 Maranello

The 550 Maranello is one of several Ferrari front-engine V12 GT vehicles. Its production run lasted from 1996 to 2001, succeeding the Testarossa and preceding the 575M Maranello. The V12 in the 550 displaces 5.5 liters and makes 478 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque. It launches from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and claims a top speed of 199 mph. Every 550 model is paired to a six-speed manual gearbox. The 550 is also the last V12 Prancing Horse to come standard with a stick shift. Unlike many exotics of the late 1990s and early 2000s, the 550 Maranello contains an interior adorned with carbon fiber straight from Ferrari. For those who are rather unfamiliar with Ferrari, Maranello refers to the city where the brand's factory and headquarters are located. A typical used 550 Maranello sells for around $170k. In short, the Ferrari 550 Maranello is a truly wonderful car. Although it may appear more subtle than most Ferraris, I still get excited every time I see a 550 Maranello in person because of its significance to the automotive world.
