If you have ever wondered what would happen if Maranello’s racing spirit met Billund’s boundless imagination, the answer now sits rather proudly in Iskandar Puteri.
LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort has officially opened Asia’s first LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction.
It is a full-fledged, purpose-built attraction in the IMAGINATION Zone, designed to let children (and the parents who pretend they’re “just helping”) build, test, race, and even virtually compete in their very own LEGO Ferrari.
And just so nobody forgets the scale of it all, the centrepiece is the world’s first life-sized LEGO® Ferrari F50, constructed from a staggering 421,652 LEGO elements, weighing 1,603kg and taking 1,306 hours to complete.
“This experience captures the essence of both LEGO and Ferrari; creativity, innovation, and excitement. All brought to life in a way families can enjoy together,” said Cs Lim, Vice-President of LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort. “We’re proud to bring this world-class attraction to Malaysia, and to be the first in Asia to do so.”
Five Zones, One Red-Blooded Idea
The LEGO Ferrari Build & Race is laid out like a race weekend.
1. Ferrari Garage
This is where the emotions start. Guests step into a mini Ferrari world, complete with memorabilia, nuggets of racing history and, of course, that show-stopping life-sized LEGO® Ferrari F50. For the kids, it’s magic. For the grown-ups, it is nostalgia brought to life in bricks.
2. Build Zone
Here’s where imagination takes the wheel. Visitors get to design and assemble their very own LEGO Ferrari race car from scratch. No two cars will ever look the same because no two builders ever think alike.
3. Test Zone
What is a racecar without data? The attraction lets you send your creation over three different tracks, each created to challenge different aspects of the car. Too tall? Too heavy? Too many spoilers? You will find out very quickly.
4. Virtual Race Zone
Guests can scan their physical LEGO car and take it to the digital track, racing on a virtual version of Ferrari’s famed Fiorano circuit in Italy. You can customise, compete and even celebrate on the winners’ podium.
5. DUPLO® Build Area
Because the under-fives must never feel left out, there is a safe, soft-brick corner for future engineers. Start them young, as they say.
“Ferrari has always stood for performance, passion and excellence. The LEGO Ferrari Build & Race attraction is a fun, interactive way to share that spirit with new generations,” added Benoit Montaigne, Global Creative Manager Experience at Ferrari.
A Tourism Win for Johor
The launch was officiated by Johor Menteri Besar, YAB Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi. It strengthens LEGOLAND Malaysia’s position as Southeast Asia’s ultimate family destination and comes at an excellent time, right ahead of Visit Johor Year 2026 and Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
With over 420,000 bricks, a hero car unlike anything else in the region, and an experience that blends hands-on building with digital play, the attraction is well placed to become a must-visit for school holidays, short weekend trips from Singapore, and frankly, anyone who has ever secretly wanted to build a Ferrari and race it.
So, start your engines and your imagination. Asia’s first LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race is open, loud, and wonderfully red.
