Full-size Lego Ferrari goes on display in Denmark

A full-scale Ferrari Monza SP1 built of Lego bricks has gone on display at Legoland in Billund, Denmark.

Built in the Czech Republic with the help of Ferrari designers, the model car took 339 days to complete and used 383,610 Lego bricks, according to Legoland Billund.

Ferrari wheels and a steering wheel were the only original components used for the 1.34 tonne life-size model.

"It is absolutely incredible. I mean obviously the real car is incredibly impressive and has amazing sculpture, but to actually manage to replicate those sculptural forms in Lego bricks is really impressive," said William Thorogood, Lego Group Head of Design, New Business.

The completed Lego Ferrari was shipped to Denmark, where it was unveiled under applause from Lego fans and auto enthusiasts at the amusement park in Billund.

"It's amazing how they managed with all the shapes and all the soft edges and everything," said Peter Larsson from Sweden.

Visitors posed for photos and marvelled at the Lego car's working lights and distinctive design.

"We've been waiting for a long time, it's finally here and everybody loves to see it," said Christian Woller, managing director of Legoland Billund.

The Lego Ferrari will be on permanent display at Legoland Billund.
