Today McLaren revealed a full-size, 1:1 scale model of its McLaren Senna supercar made entirely of Lego bricks. Using nearly 500,000 components and almost 5000 labor hours to create, it's one of the most complex Lego models we've seen. It has working lights, real Senna wheels, and a whole bunch of other cool stuff inside.

McLaren says it took a total of 42 people and 4935 hours to build this Senna from scratch—2210 hours of design and development, and 2725 hours to snap all 467,854 bricks into place. That's about 16 times longer than it takes to build a real Senna, which, according to McLaren, takes just 300 hours. The car weighs 3348 pounds—1102 more than the road car.

Though it's mostly all Lego bricks, there's a fair amount of actual Senna parts included in this build. The wheels, tires, steering wheel, driver-side bucket seats, and headlights are all off the real thing. The roof-mounted start button simulates an engine start sound, and the lights turn on. The doors even swing up like they're supposed to. Pretty intricate for a Lego model.

Building full-size cars out of Legos seems to be the hot new thing for manufacturers to do these days. Chevy commissioned a Silverado earlier this year, and Bugatti did one of their own, based on a Chiron, last August. Lego even built a 1:1 model of a Ferrari F1 car back in 2017. Hell, this isn't even the first time McLaren's done this. Remember the full-size Lego 720S? We hope this fad doesn't die off any time soon, because these models just keep getting cooler.
