Launched in 1995 to commemorate the brand’s 50th anniversary, only 349 units of the F50 supercar were reportedly produced, making it a highly prized collector's item.

Defined by its exposed engine bay, prominent rear wing and targa top, the F50 has an unmistakable silhouette — even if the one you are currently in is built with Lego bricks.

The world’s first full-scale Lego Ferrari F50 model has made its way to Legoland Malaysia Resort. Rendered in its iconic red, it took 421,652 Lego bricks and 1,306 hours to construct.

The 12-year-old Legoland Malaysia theme park is also the first in Asia ahead of its counterparts in Japan, South Korea and China - to feature the Lego Ferrari Build & Race attraction, which houses the supercar model.

Launched on Nov 1, this attraction also offers play areas where the young and young-at-heart can construct, test and race their Lego Ferrari creations.

Globally, similar experiences can be found in four Legoland parks in Denmark, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Each destination offers a unique life-size Lego Ferrari model. Visitors can get behind the wheel and feel like they are driving a supercar.
