Even at a one-eighth scale, the intricacies of a LEGO Ferrari supercar build are highly recognizable (the signature Ferrari red does help with that). The toymaker partnered with the Italian car manufacturer to craft the new LEGO Technic Ferrari Daytona SP3, a 3,778-piece, 1:8 scale model of the supercar.

Part of the recently-created LEGO Technic Ultimate Car Concept series—the fourth in the line—the LEGO set is available only from LEGO stores from the June 1 release until August 1. After that, other global retailers will sell the limited-edition set. The model car measures 5.5 inches high, 23 inches long, and 9.5 inches wide when fully built and retails for $400.

“No detail has been overlooked in the design and as someone with an engineering background myself, I’m blown away by the attention to detail and precision of the model at such a small scale,” Niels Christiansen, LEGO Group CEO, says in a news release. “We’re incredibly lucky to be able to partner with Ferrari to help fans turn their dreams into a reality.”

The new model includes a functioning eight-speed sequential gearbox with paddle shifter, a V12 engine with moving pistons, and silver-lacquered rims. The “traffic-stopping red model” includes one of the more complex exterior builds in the LEGO series, revealing working butterfly doors and an interior with a recreated cockpit, down to the prancing horse logo resplendent on the steering wheel.

Ferrari announced the real-life version in late 2021, and is inspired by the prototype racers that won the 1967 Daytona 24 Hours. Expect around 600 of the special-edition cars to be created in 2022 for a very special-edition price tag, all with a mix of old-school design and modern flair.
