Lego's Newest Technic Car Is a Koenigsegg—and It Already Set a Record

Lego Technic's latest Ultimate Car Concept Series model, the Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear, isn't just another highly detailed 1:8-scale supercar replica. To celebrate its launch, Lego and Koenigsegg built a full-size, drivable version made from more than 327,000 Lego elements and sent it up the famous Goodwood hill climb. Driven by Koenigsegg test driver Markus Lundh, the life-size build reached 111 km/h (69 mph), more than doubling the previous Lego Technic speed record of 50 km/h. The feat is remarkable not only because the car was capable of real-world performance but also because it demonstrates how far Lego Technic engineering has evolved beyond static display pieces. The achievement perfectly embodies Lego Technic's long-running "Build for Real" philosophy. The full-scale model wasn't simply a giant sculpture; it incorporated functioning features inspired by the real megacar, including working Ghost mode, operational bodywork, and authentic engineering details. Weighing roughly 1800 kg (almost 4000 pounds) and requiring more than 9400 hours to design and construct, it blurs the line between toy and engineering while proving that Lego Technic can translate complex automotive concepts into fully functional machines. The set itself is every bit as ambitious. This 4104-piece Koenigsegg is the sixth model in the Ultimate Car Concept Series and features a working V-8 piston engine, a functional nine-speed transmission, Koenigsegg's distinctive Triplex suspension system, working steering, a removable roof, and a new rotating indicator that displays the selected gear. Its headline feature is a fully functioning Lego version of the famous Ghost mode. This feature simultaneously raises the rear clamshell, opens the dihedral synchro-helix doors and front hood, and folds the mirrors with a single movement. What makes this launch particularly notable is how Lego continues to raise the bar with each release. When the McLaren P1 debuted in 2024, Lego impressed enthusiasts with a

Mixed emotions for Wallace after San Diego runner-up

CORONADO, Calif. — Bubba Wallace has never been much of a fan of racing on road or street courses in NASCAR. In 40 prior Cup starts on such tracks, he combined to earn just one top five and four top 10s. Enter “Bubba Hamilton,” his apparent alter ego, who showed up to play at Naval Base Coronado on Sunday, wheeling the No. 23 Toyota to an impressive second-place finish after a gritty, comeback drive in the NASCAR Cup Series’ Anduril 250 just across the bay from San Diego. MORE: Race results | Heim earns first career win After jokingly comparing himself to Formula One great Lewis Hamilton on Saturday, one might think Wallace would be ecstatic after his best career road-course result, especially after rebounding from a detached right-front wheel at Lap 19 that forced him to pit road and earned him a two-lap penalty. Instead, Wallace couldn’t shake the thought of what could have been, settling for second as part of 23XI Racing’s first 1-2 result after his part-time teammate Corey Heim nabbed the win from Tyler Reddick — another fellow 23XI racer — in the final laps. “It’s ‘what if?'” Wallace said. “Tired of living in that.” Wallace did see the pros through the cons in Sunday’s outcome. The 23XI Racing driver jumped two spots to 11th in the points standings after his second top-three finish in the last three weeks. To do so on a temporary circuit on never-before-raced streets and airfields marked a notable improvement in Wallace’s development as a road racer. “I know how much I’ve struggled in the past and continue to work, and I appreciate everybody on the team,” Wallace said. “Appreciate everybody back at Airspeed. Keegan (Leahy) and William (Lee) in the sim room, I give them so much crap for the

Herrero and Barrere tame sweltering Spa

Herrero and Barrere tame sweltering Spa - The Alpine ELF Cup Series reached the midpoint of the season with its first two-hour race format and pit stops at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. - In scorching heat, Matéo Herrero and David Barrere (Herrero Racing #25) dominated every session of the weekend before securing their maiden victory of the year. - The A-arrow brand continued to impress in the FFSA GT French Championship, with Rudy Servol and Léo Jousset securing a podium finish while Stéphane Lémeret and Stéphane Auriacombe triumphed in the Am Cup. Le 22 June 2026 Following Nogaro and Dijon, the Alpine ELF Cup Series travelled to Belgium for round three of the season. The series introduced a new format at the 'Ardennes toboggan', replacing its two one-hour races with a two-hour race on a shared grid featuring the British GT and the FFSA French GT Championship. In addition to the 54 cars on the track, this format also presented an extra challenge for the competitors, with the Alpine ELF Cup Series' first-ever pit stops. Herrero Racing sets the pace Right from the get-go on Friday, Herrero Racing led the way in private testing with Matéo Herrero. The Gironde native confirmed his form on Saturday in free practice before dominating Q1 by more than eight tenths of a second. His team-mate David Barrere followed suit in Q2 to secure pole position for the #25 Alpine A110 Cup. On the starting grid, determined by the addition of each driver's best times, the duo lined up ahead of the series leaders, Romain Monti and Rodolphe Wallgren (Chazel Technologie Course #111). Alexandre Lopez and Johan Akkerman (Chazel Technologie Course #93) shared the second row with Lenny Kieffer and Julien Neveu (Schumacher GP #31), whilst Axel Constantin and Frédéric De Brabant (Chazel Technologie

Prime Golf: The Appeal of Virtual Golf Without Breaking a Sweat

Golf has long carried a reputation as a sport that demands both time and money. For many people, getting started means investing in equipment, paying green fees, traveling to golf courses, and dedicating several hours to complete a round. But a growing category of technology-powered venues is beginning to challenge that perception. One of the latest examples is Prime Golf, which is officially opening its newest location on the fifth floor of SM Podium. The venue combines virtual golf simulators with drinking and dining spaces and private rooms, creating an experience that feels as much like a social destination as it does a sports facility. Why it Matters: Virtual golf is not simply about bringing golf indoors. It represents a broader shift in how technology can make traditionally exclusive hobbies more accessible. By reducing the time, cost, and logistical barriers associated with conventional golf, simulator-based venues have the potential to introduce the sport to an entirely new audience. The concept behind virtual golf is straightforward. Instead of heading to a golf course, players hit real golf balls into simulator screens equipped with cameras, sensors, and tracking technology. Every swing is analyzed in real time, providing detailed information about ball speed, launch angle, shot trajectory, and other performance metrics. The result is an experience that combines elements of sports, gaming, and data analytics. For experienced golfers, the technology provides a convenient way to practice and improve. For newcomers, it offers a less intimidating introduction to a sport often associated with country clubs and expensive memberships. Prime Golf’s newest location reflects another emerging trend: turning virtual golf into a social activity. Rather than focusing solely on training, the venue allows groups of friends, families, and colleagues to gather, play rounds together, and enjoy food and drinks, and even karaoke in the process.
