The Lego–Koenigsegg partnership is back with another project that's every bit as ambitious as it is impressive. To celebrate the launch of a new Technic set based on the Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear—a 1,603-horsepower hypercar limited to just 30 examples—the Danish toymaker built a full-size, drivable replica and took it straight to the Goodwood hillclimb course in England, home of the annual Festival of Speed.
Behind the wheel was Markus Lundh, Koenigsegg's official test driver—the same driver who set the hillclimb record in the real Sadair's Spear a year earlier. This time, piloting the brick-built version in reverse-course configuration. Lundh reached 69 miles per hour, more than doubling the previous speed record for a large-scale Lego Technic vehicle.

Lego Technic Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear is made from 327,906 Lego elements and weighs approximately 3,968 pounds, including 882 pounds of Lego bricks. Designing and building the car required more than 9,400 hours, including the development of its working mechanical features.
Most notable is "Ghost Mode," which simultaneously opens the doors, hood, and mirrors at the touch of a button. Christian von Koenigsegg, the company's founder and CEO, described the collaboration as a celebration of a shared passion for engineering, while Lundh said the experience felt surprisingly close to driving the real car.
The record-setting LEGO Koenigsegg will make its public debut at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed before embarking on a global promotional tour. The Goodwood run also marks the launch of Lego Technic's new Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear set, shown in the accompanying photo gallery.
It joins the brand's 1:8-scale Ultimate Car Concept series as its sixth entry, following models inspired by Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and McLaren. Designed for adult builders and engineering enthusiasts, the set includes 4,104 pieces and measures 23.2 inches long, 5.9 inches tall, and 11.0 inches wide.
It faithfully recreates several key features of the real car, including a piston-style V8 engine, a functional nine-speed sequential gearbox operated by steering-wheel-mounted paddles, front and rear Triplex suspension, and a rotating display that indicates the selected gear. Ghost Mode makes the jump to the scale model as well.
