To put their V8 creation to the test, the LEGO Group and Koenigsegg took the life-size LEGO Technic Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear to the Goodwood estate in UK, where it set a speed record as the fastest LEGO Technic big build car ever.

At the legendary hill, Koenigsegg test driver Markus Lundh reached 111 km/h (69 mph)—more than double the previous record of 50 km/h (31 mph)—to establish a new category in Goodwood’s history: “LEGO car speed records”.

Markus Lundh, who happened set the hill climb record in the real 1,675-horsepower Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear Hypercar in 2025 during the Goodwood Festival of Speed, said:

“Getting the chance to take the driver’s seat of this life-size LEGO Technic build was an incredible privilege. It really did feel like I was handling a real Koenigsegg, bringing back memories of setting the speed record at Goodwood in the Sadair’s Spear in July 2025. It was awesome to set another record on this iconic course – a true testament to the level of engineering the LEGO Technic team has achieved.”

Kasper Rene Hansen, Senior Model Designer at the LEGO Group, said: “Our ambition was to create the most advanced LEGO Technic build we’ve ever produced. Incorporating features such as a working Ghost Mode, a 9-speed sequential gearbox and the unique Triplex suspension system -all firsts for a Technic Ultimate model – pushed the boundaries of what’s possible”
