We wondered if it was possible to drive a 1:1-size LEGO® Technic™ McLaren P1™ around Silverstone. People said it couldn’t be done.
So then we asked 23 design, engineering and building specialists from across the LEGO Group and McLaren Automotive to spend 8,344 hours building it. People still were like “No way…”
Then we got Lando Norris to be our driver. You know, just to be safe.
LEGO Technic elements used for our 1:1 build.

Can it steer? It’s a LEGO® Technic™ set; of course it can!
Did you know: the finished seats in the real car weigh just 23 pounds (10.5kg) each!
The doors open up using the same butterfly-style mechanism as the hypercar.
These specially produced pieces are a 1:8 replica of those on the full-size car.
Our model has an adjustable rear wing, just like the full-sized car.
Take your time exploring this operational V8 piston engine with a 7-speed gearbox!
