# This Lego Ferrari F40 Video Will Bring Back Your Childhood in 60 Seconds

It's basically an espresso shot of Eighties nostalgia: an eight-bit soundtrack, everybody's favorite Danish building toy and a *rosso*-red [Ferrari F40](<https://www.thedrive.com/supercars/1053/supercar-headaches>). If the Lego scale model of Enzo’s last personally approved Maranello stallion wasn't on your Christmas list before, video of a sub-minute build will have you jotting it down with triple underlining and four exclamation points.

Brought to you by [Hagerty](<https://hagerty.com/>), the classic-car insurance company, the time-lapse video shows the 1,158-piece F40 brickset coming together like a Minecraft project, quickly growing from a bare chassis and engine to blocky tribute car ready for desktop display. Hagerty ordinarily deals in full-size vehicles, but there's something about Lego that makes it the [perfect medium for gearheads](<https://www.thedrive.com/design/974/lego-my-gullwing-this-mercedes-300sl-model-cant-be-beat>) of all ages. Lego has tucked all sorts of clever little solutions to the Pininfarina's curves into the build.

Without the magic of stop-motion video, assembling the Lego F40 will require a couple of hours at least. For kids who grew up with the blocks—those who got the inside joke of Benny the Spaceman's broken helmet in *The Lego Movie*—it’s a trip down memory lane. Add in the bleeps and bloops of background music that sounds cribbed from *The Duel: Test Drive II*, and it takes less than a minute to make you grin like a kid again.

Besides the Ferrari, this year's Lego Christmas catalog will let you build a Mercedes-Benz Arocs rig with a working crane, display models of a Mini Cooper or a VW camper van, or minifigure versions of the [McLaren P1](<https://www.thedrive.com/supercars/1225/mclaren-p1-wags-its-tail-goodbye>) and Porsche 918 Spyder. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
