The McLaren P1 It is one of the most famous hypercars of the modern era. It is also one of the most technological and high-performance. Among the reproductions of the model, there is also one in scala 1:8 made with LEGO bricks, the result of a collaboration between the famous Danish brand and the British supercar manufacturer. In this guise it becomes accessible to a large number of pockets, but the emotions are certainly not comparable to those of the real car.
Given the nature of the work, this small-scale replica of the line LEGO Technic Ultimate Car Conceptinterprets very well the traits of the hybrid hypercar that inspired it. The composition is born from the assembly of 3,893 pieces. Each car has a unique serial number that unlocks special hidden contents.
As the sales sheet states, the model is equipped with a 7-speed transmission with 2 gear drums, suspension, V8 piston engine, adjustable rear spoiler and dihedral doors that open with an advanced mechanism. All with the aim of reproducing as many components of the real McLaren P1 as possible, without pushing the price into the galaxy of sultan-like exclusivity. Here, for the purchase, it costs 449.99 euros: it is not a popular figure, but by tightening the belt a little, even a mere mortal could afford the whim.
The 1:8 scale car was born from the close collaboration between LEGO Technic designers and the men of McLaren Automotive. The result achieved, of excellent workmanship, is also a reflection of this partnership, which has allowed to implement a high number of details of the real car, without compromising. It was a complex job, but with an extremely happy outcome. The LEGO Technic McLaren P1 building set will be available from August 1, 2024.
Let us remember that the Woking hypercar, in its full-scale version, enjoys the thrust of a twin-turbo V8 engine 3.8-liter, combined with an electric motor, for a combined power output of 916 hp. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is completed in 2.8 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h in 6.8, while the 0 to 300 km/h sprint takes just 16.5 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h.
