LEGO replica of F1 Ferrari car to go on display

LEGO replica of F1 Ferrari car to go on display around S'pore

The LEGO replica of a Formula One Ferrari car on display in Singapore.

More than 200,000 LEGO bricks were used to build a replica of an F1 Ferrari car. Unveiled ahead of this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, the Lion City is the second Asian stop for the big toy car after Hong Kong.

A team of 16 people at LEGO Productions in the Czech Republic built the 1:1 replica.

The car took over six months to design and plan, and 10 days to assemble.

LEGO bricks were individually assembled and glued on a steel frame.

Sporting real Pirelli race tyres, a race seat belt and a steering wheel, it is able to accommodate an adult in the cockpit.

Measuring 5.4 metres in length, it will be mounted on the back of a commercial vehicle and will tour the island from September 22 to October 1.

Among the planned stops are Raffles Place and Jurong Point Shopping Centre.
