Cadillac stood out at the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix with a pink 1950s Cadillac Fleetwood-style convertible with a body made out of Lego parts.
The one-of-a-kind Caddy took nearly 4,000 hours to build, weighs over 4,500 pounds and is more than 16 feet long. Seventeen master builders, engineers and designers from the Lego Group handcrafted the car out of more than 418,000 individual pieces.
The top three finishers of the race – Max Verstappen, George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli – traveled to the podium in the working life-size Cadillac. It is fully drivable, according to General Motors, capable of a top speed of over 15 mph with a driver and three passengers inside, the automaker said.
The Cadillac was escorted by two Cadillac CelestIQ electric ultra-luxury sedans. Over the weekend, Cadillac hosted a private boutique experience for potential clients who wanted to see the new built-to-order CelestIQs.
Meanwhile, Cadillac took the opportunity to remind race fans that the automaker will join the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile Formula One World Championship grid next year with a video that displayed on the exterior of the Sphere, an entertainment venue on the Las Vegas Strip.
