The LEGO Technic McLaren P1 set pays homage to a true legend of automotive design in an exceptionally detailed 1:8 scale model. This 3,893-piece set that measures over 5.5 in. (14 cm) high, 23 in. (59 cm) long and 9.5 in. (25 cm) wide, will be as impressive to display as it is challenging and enjoyable to build.
In yellow and black, the exterior includes the highly-recognizable McLaren dihedral doors and aerodynamic enhancing, adjustable rear wing. Even the sleek movement of the real doors has been replicated with a newly developed spring-loaded shock absorber that’s pressed when doors are closed and released when they’re reopened.
Beneath the smooth curved exterior panels is a detailed 7-speed gearbox that you’ll construct using newly developed building techniques. There’s also new shifter drum elements and two new gear wheels to mimic the real car. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel let you shift between the seven gears, and the gear stick lets you shift between hybrid and E-mode.
All of this links to a detailed replica of the high-performance V8 engine, including pistons that rise and fall as the car moves.
To make this set even more like owning a real McLaren P1, the LEGO Technic version features its own unique serial number that gives you access to exclusive online content.
