The previous record was a logo measuring 7.72 m x 10.4 m (25 ft 4 in
x 34 ft 1.5 in), at The Franklin Institute Science Museum on 22 August
2001 in
Philadelphia (USA) by over 2,500 people. The logo of the X Games
host city Philadelphia was constructed from 180,000 bricks.
Built in Chicago, and using more than 650,000 LEGO components, the LEGO Group's designers worked for 1,500 hours to design a life-size LEGO Super Car, and the company's model builders and technicians spent a further 4,000 hours assembling it. Though the life-size version of the LEGO car is 10 times bigger than the set sold in stores world-wide, it uses 500 times more LEGO elements. The LEGO Super Car is approximately 4.72 m (15 feet 5 inches) long, 2.28 m (7 feet 5 inches) wide and 1.24 m (4 feet 10 inches) high, weighing more than a ton, making it the biggest LEGO car in the world.

The widest free span -14 m (46 ft) - had a 20 m long bridge that has
been constructed from 16 September - 5 October 2008 at Science Museum
Phaeno in Wolfsburg (Germany) from 80,000 bricks. The previous record
[about 12.5 m] was for a model of the
Gibraltar railway bridge built by Bart Efdé, Benny Efdé
and Marco de
Vries from 650 kg of bricks.
Ted Michon of the Southern California
LEGO Train Club has built a 4.5 m (15 ft) operating LEGO train
bridge. The double decked, 4 tracked, working suspension bridge
measures 576 studs from anchor to anchor and has a main span of 384
studs measured tower to tower. PHOTO
The longest LEGO train track measured 1019 m (3343 ft). It was built
by The Pacific Northwest LEGO Train
Club in August 2000 at the Center House in Seattle Washington. Here
is
a great picture gallery about this event.
