For each, 400,000 Lego pieces were used — in addition to car components.

The project involved 26 Lego Group specialists in design, engineering, and construction. The development and assembly took a total of more than 22,000 hours (one person would have had to spend 2.5 years).

The scale is practically 1:1. The weight of one car is approximately 1.5 tons, of which 1 ton is Lego parts. Racing tires were provided by Pirelli.
According to TopGear, the Lego race cars have an electric engine instead of a hybrid 1.6-liter six-cylinder. Rear-wheel drive. The transmission is single-speed.
The maximum speed is 20 km/h. For comparison: real Formula 1 cars exceed 330 km/h. The brakes, like the tires, are racing-grade, but the manufacturer was not disclosed.
The Lego race cars are designed for two, so all 20 drivers from ten teams participated in the demonstration run on the 5.4 km track.
