Not Your Typical Ferrari Experience
Stepping inside the Ferrari 12Cilindri would probably be a dream for many, not just because of the brand’s prestige, but also because it retains a traditional naturally aspirated V12 engine at a time when the industry is rapidly moving toward electrification, something many enthusiasts appreciate. So perhaps this new and unique 12Cilindri experience may be the closest most of us will ever get to being up close with the supercar, albeit with a major twist.
Ferrari unveiled a one-off, 1:1-scale 12Cilindri Spider built from 554,767 bricks, making it the largest Lego Ferrari ever created. Located at Legoland New York Resort, the model allows guests to open the doors, climb inside, and take a seat. The twist, however, is that this Lego car does not drive, unlike other Lego builds such as the enthusiast-built Volvo V70 wagon or the Formula 1 cars used at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix.
Built Brick by Brick
The Lego Ferrari began with a structural frame as its foundation, after which Lego Master Model Builders added finer details, including functional headlamps and red brake calipers. Completing the 1:1-scale model took 2,300 hours, and at nearly 1,800 kg (3,968 lbs), it is heavier than most sedans, including the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, while coming in roughly on par with the road-going 12Cilindri itself.
That shows how automakers work to keep performance cars as light as possible to maximize the power-to-weight ratio. For reference, the 12Cilindri Spider has a dry weight of 3,571 lbs, excluding fluids such as fuel and coolant, and an NA V12 producing 819 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The supercar can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 2.95 seconds, something Legoland guests will not experience with the record-breaking Lego Ferrari, though it still offers a different kind of fun.
A Playground for Ferrari Fans
The 1:1-scale 12Cilindri Spider is part of the Ferrari Build & Race attraction, which features several themed zones, including a Build and Test area. There, guests can create their own Ferrari-inspired cars using Lego bricks and pit them against other guests’ creations on a series of ramps. The Race Track zone also allows those builds to be scanned and brought into a digital world, where they can be raced virtually.
While Ferrari has not indicated any plans to sell the Lego 12Cilindri Spider, the road-going fixed-roof coupe starts at a little over $460,000. The 12Cilindri remains one of the few V12-powered cars still available in the U.S. market, including models such as the Lamborghini Revuelto and its SUV sibling, the Purosangue.
