DESIGNED through a close collaboration between engineering experts from the Lego Group and McLaren Racing, the Lego Technic McLaren Formula 1 Race Car is said to be “packed with exquisite design and functionality which will be sure to steal the show in any collection.” The one-of-a-kind piece of engineering pays homage to the team’s iconic 2021 season livery, while giving fans a glimpse of what they might expect from McLaren Racing’s new F1 season model.
The Lego Technic version of the McLaren F1 car is fully modeled on the life-size version featuring a V6 cylinder engine with moving pistons, steering activated from the cockpit, suspension, and a differential lock. It is the first Lego Technic interpretation of a Formula 1 car, and offers racing fans a meticulous translation of McLaren’s design and cutting-edge technology crucial to on-track performance. The set “offers Formula 1 enthusiasts a chance to recharge and relax with a hands-on, focused building activity that helps them explore their passion for the sport.”
Said Lego Technic Head of Product Neils Henrik Horsted, “The partnership between the Lego Group and McLaren continuously develops each time we get together for the next collaboration. We never stop trying to excite and inspire our fans by pushing the limits of possibility through the technology and designs produced, both on the racetrack and with Lego buildings.”
