Imagine the excitement when Shell, Lego and Ferrari got together to release a limited edition set of 6 replica Formula One cars.
Lego built the world’s first life-size replica Ferrari F1 with over 200,000 regular bricks and 810 man hours later. Then F1 Ferrari drivers, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, flew to Melbourne to unveil it.
“This campaign represents the joint passion for performance that Shell shares with Ferrari, whilst incorporating the fun and imaginative nature of LEGO.” Jane Morwick, Shell Retail Business Manager
I was amazed to read that Shell and LEGO worked on the development of the mini-motor for over 18 months. The dedication to technological innovation and improved performance that is at the heart of Shell V-Power fuel and Shell’s partnership with Ferrari
Purchase these highly collectable little vehicles from any Coles Shell Petrol Station, when you fill up with $40 or more of Shell V- Power - you can buy a LEGO model for $6 in one transaction or $8 without fuel.
Each week you can drive away with a different car but be quick because they are only available until the 8th May.
My boys thought they were awesome. As LEGO's smallest ever pull back and go micro-propulsion engine they certainly GO- fast.
We made an impromptu racetrack using our old trampoline and let them race. They propelled further than 2m so we needed barriers.
