We have enough Lego fans on the Autoblog team that, were cars wiped off the face of the Earth tomorrow, our fall-back plan would be to launch Legoblog: We Obsessively Cover The Lego Industry. So a full-size Ferrari F1 car made entirely out of Lego bricks is something that's sure to catch our attention. Unveiled yesterday by Ferrari drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa in Australia ahead of the season-opening Melbourne Grand Prix, this 1:1 scale model of the team's 2011 Ferrari F150 Italia car is a highly accurate recreation of the real thing. While Ferrari hasn't released too many details about it (a brick count would be nice), we do know that the car has real Pirelli race tires and a seat that can actually accommodate a driver. Once buckled in, though, everything within arms reach is made of Lego, including the complicated F1 steering wheel. The Lego F1 car is part of a promotion between Ferrari and Shell that's been going on for some time. In some places of the world (not the US, though), if you stop at a Shell station and refuel, you can purchase these special mini Ferrari Lego kits that feature six of the Italian brand's greatest creations: the F40, 458 Italia, FXX, 250 GT Berlinetta, the Scuderia Ferrari Truck and even a pint-sized version of this F150 Italia.
Or you could just buy the full set on eBay, which features a mark up in price worthy of the Ferrari name. AUSTRALIAN GP: A LIFE SIZE MARVELGoodwood Revival 2017 on sale now! Incredible Lego F1 cars that you can build yourself Who wouldn’t want a Williams FW14, McLaren MP4-4 or six-wheeled Tyrrell P34 on their desk? These incredibly detailed Lego models are designed by Luca Rusconi, a motorsport fan with a degree in mechanical engineering. Each is created using original technical drawings for scale, while the colour schemes and decals result in uncanny resemblances to the real things. The models are repeatable, thanks to the MOC Plans online community where Lego model designers can sell their plans. Each of Luca’s 12 designs are available for $15, but you’ll have to buy the bricks separately. So which would you choose? I’m torn between the Lotus 43 and Brabham BT52.

My son loved this it took him 15 hours to build it See and discover other items: f1 model cars Toys & Games > Building & Construction ToysLEGO Technic Car Chassis in black and red with steering and rear diff.As a certified petrol head and long time Formula 1 fan, I have dearly missed the Lego Racers theme since its departure in 2012. Lego is finally utilizing their licensing agreements with McLaren, Porsche and Ferrari in a new line called Speed Champions and I could not be more excited.
Shocking enough, all of the sets are in Minifigure scale, which was barely done in the old Racers theme. The models are welcomed, for sure, as my fairly elaborate City themed Lego display has been missing a proper race track for a few years now.The above Ferrari F14 & Scuderia Ferrari Truck (75913) has to be my favorite, with a 4 fig pit crew and Fernando Alonso and Kimi Räikkönen minis. The F14 car has accurate livery and the support truck is a spitting image of the real thing. I promise you, I will buy at least a dozen of these as the Alonso Minifigure is sure to have perfectly manicured eyebrows. I am also already designing a "Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing" custom torso for the Kimi fig. Ferrari F150 (75899) or the LaFerrari (Ferrari the Ferrari) as it is more commonly known, is a decent model for this scale. A few stickers adorn the model (let us all just say it now, we hate stickers) to get the model looking about as close as you are going to get at this scale. I'm excited that the wheels on these are not the generic Lego wheel/tire combination and that for once the wheels are actually flush with the fender arches instead of poking out like some sort of 80's low rider.
Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 (75908) is virtually identical to its LaFerrari counterpart, with just subtle differences in the front splitter, a different set of wheels, an adjustable wing on the back and a trophy, no doubt for taking the 24 Hours of Le Mans.If money were no object, I would be driving one of these right now. The cones and kerbing are a nice touch but the best thing about this model is the use of the snowboard element as the rear wing. The Porsche 918 Spyder (75910) is quite a good take on the car. Again with the custom wheels which are a spitting image of the exact wheel that comes on the 918. I will be pretending that the driver fig is Mark Webber after just dropping off Maria Sharapova. Porsche 911 GT Finishing Line (75912) is brilliant. The two 911 GT3's are a beautiful design with what looks like specific wheels for the left Cup Car and the GT3 R Hybrid on the right. The start line is a nice touch, but that podium is especially good with the flag tiles for the UK, Germany, USA, France, Denmark, Russia, Italy and Spain.
