The competitors will participate in an unusual parade with individually assembled vehicles, inspired by the colors of Formula 1 teams.
Each vehicle has more than 28,000 pieces, weighs approximately 280 kg, and can reach up to 25 km/h.
The presentation will take place before the race at the traditional British circuit, turning the drivers’ parade into one of the most curious attractions of the event.

Lego karts weigh 280 kg and have an electric motor
Formula 1 cars are usually designed to achieve the lowest possible weight.
The new Lego karts, however, follow a completely different approach.
Each kart weighs about 280 kg, of which approximately 65 kg correspond to the building blocks.
The rest of the weight includes the structure, the electric motor, the battery, and the components necessary to move the vehicle.
The main features of the models include:
- More than 28,000 pieces in each kart;
- Total approximate weight of 280 kg;
- Battery-powered electric motor;
- Maximum speed of 25 km/h;
- Paintings inspired by Formula 1 teams.
Each driver will have their own vehicle, customized with colors and visual elements similar to the cars used in the championship.
Construction of the 22 vehicles required 6,400 hours
The development of the karts involved 20 specialists in design and assembly.
The team worked for 6,400 hours to complete the 22 models.
The manufacturing took place in Kladno, Czech Republic, where one of the main special model creation units of the Lego Group is located.
The project combined the brand’s traditional pieces with electrical components capable of transporting professional drivers around the circuit.
Parade was inspired by an action held in Miami
The idea arose after the impact of the parade held during the 2025 Miami Grand Prix.
The drivers participated on that occasion in a presentation with ten full-size Lego cars.
The positive reaction from fans and competitors encouraged the company to expand the project.
Julia Goldin, Chief Product and Marketing Officer of the Lego Group, stated that the public showed interest in new actions involving the brand and Formula 1.
Silverstone will now host a larger version, with an exclusive kart for each driver on the grid.
Lego Koenigsegg reached 111 km/h
Another recent Lego project gained attention for reaching a much higher speed.
A full-size replica of the Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear reached 111 km/h on the Goodwood track in England.
The result made the vehicle the fastest drivable Lego model ever built by the company.
The previous record belonged to a replica of the Bugatti Chiron, which reached 50 km/h in 2018.
Replica received more than 327,000 pieces
The Lego Koenigsegg weighs approximately 1,800 kg.
About 400 kg correspond to the 327,906 pieces of the Lego Technic line used in the bodywork.
The construction required more than 9,400 hours of work and was also carried out in Kladno.
The vehicle was assembled on a custom metal chassis with a safety cage based on FIA safety standards.
Carbon fiber wheels, Pirelli tires, functional suspension, and competition disc brakes complete the project.
Electric motor replaced 1,603 horsepower V8
The model received an electric motor responsible for moving the rear wheels.
This setup replaced the 1,603 horsepower twin-turbo V8 engine installed in the original Koenigsegg.
Lego and the Swedish manufacturer did not disclose the technical data of the electric engine.
The vehicle also reproduces the automated system that simultaneously opens the doors, hood, and engine cover.
Star Wars and Ninjago pieces appear in the construction
The builders used unusual components to reproduce details of the supercar.
Star Wars ship pieces appear in the front headlights.
Toy train windows were used in the rear lights.
Ninjago line rims help represent the real vehicle’s shock absorbers.
Commercial version has 4,104 pieces
The launch of the replica occurred alongside the announcement of a commercial 1:8 scale version.
The Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear set has 4,104 pieces and was developed for the adult audience.
The kit reproduces the V8 engine with moving pistons and a functional nine-speed transmission.
The Silverstone karts and the 111 km/h Koenigsegg show how building blocks have transitioned from toys to functional projects.
Which model would you like to drive: a Formula 1 kart or the Lego Koenigsegg?
