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.
