Are you a fan of supercars but can’t quite afford the hefty price tag of a McLaren P1? Well, now you have a chance to own a piece of this iconic vehicle with the new 1:8 scale Lego Technic set. This set, priced at just under £400, offers a detailed replica of the McLaren P1, complete with over 3,800 pieces including the V8 hybrid engine and intelligent suspension.
With only 375 units of the real McLaren P1 ever produced, getting your hands on one can be quite a challenge, not to mention the inflated prices in the market. However, this Lego version allows enthusiasts to enjoy the intricate details of the car without breaking the bank. The set includes features like the adjustable rear wing, dihedral doors, and the signature V8 hybrid engine.
Designed by Kasper Rene Hansen, a lead designer at Lego, the Technic model aims to capture the essence of the real McLaren P1, from its aerodynamic shapes to the piston engine. Hansen mentions the challenges faced in recreating the butterfly doors with a mechanism to stay open, ensuring that every detail is faithfully represented in the Lego set.
The fully assembled model stands at 5.5 inches high, 22 inches long, and 9.5 inches wide, making it a substantial piece that will surely stand out in any collection. Whether displayed on a shelf or taken for a spin on a makeshift racetrack, this Lego McLaren P1 promises hours of fun for supercar enthusiasts of all ages.
If you’re eager to add this impressive set to your collection, pre-orders will be available starting from 1 August. So mark your calendars and get ready to delve into the world of supercars with this amazing Lego Technic creation.
