Created with the intention of being 'the best driver's car in the world on both road and track', the design and technical specifications of the McLaren P1 provided the ideal foundation to deliver on this ambition. The remarkable hypercar is recognised as a landmark both for McLaren and the development of high-performance hybrid vehicles.

The engineering and technology underpinning the performance, style and functional design the McLaren P1, made it the perfect challenge for the LEGO Technic team to replicate in 1:8 scale.

Unveiled as part of the LEGO Technic Ultimate Car Concept Series, the all-new 1:8 scale LEGO Technic version consists of 3,893 elements and each car features a unique serial number which unlocks special behind-the-scenes content. The model has a 7-speed gearbox with 2 shifter drums, suspension, V8 piston engine, adjustable rear wing, and opening dihedral doors with advanced mechanism.

The model was created by the LEGO Technic design team in close collaboration with McLaren Automotive and both teams were focused on implementing as much functionality in the model as possible, as a tribute to both the real P1.

The LEGO Technic McLaren P1 set will be available at LEGO Stores from 1st August 2024 priced at €449.99 / £389.99 / $449.99.
