What LEGO is doing in recent years is a flood of launches that make any motor enthusiast long for it. In practically all of their collections, from the simple Speed Champions to the developed Technic, there are vehicles that are part of history and that win over fans. When we thought that they had already surpassed themselves with some like the Bugatti Chiron or the Lamborghini Countach, now comes another one that seeks the crown. It is the McLaren P1 by LEGO Technic that will try to make you dig into your pocket.
The P1 doesn’t need much introduction, it was the hybrid supercar that stood out a decade ago. In an era where innovation was paramount, it managed to combine a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 with a KERS-style electrical system that allowed it to achieve a power output of 916 hp and 900 Nm of torque. It took on other greats such as the Ferrari LaFerrari or the Porsche 918 Spyder and is now remembered for its signature engine through a very elaborate setIt belongs to LEGO Technic and its level of detail is spectacular.
This is a 1:8 scale reproduction, with a considerable size that matches the complexity of its assembly. In fact, it is composed of nothing less than 3,893 pieces so that details such as the V8 engine with moving pistons, the seven-speed gearbox, the suspension, the adjustable rear spoiler or the dihedral butterfly doors that open thanks to an advanced mechanism can be clearly seen. To achieve this faithfully, the LEGO Technic and McLaren Automotive teams worked together for months.
The next August month goes on sale This very special set with the McLaren P1 as the protagonist and some are already doing the math. Although it can be classified as a toy, it is not one for children, neither for complexity nor for price. It costs 449.99 euros In our country, this is a very reasonable price. However, LEGO Insiders who purchase it during the first week of the month will receive the LEGO Technic McLaren P1 logo as a gift with their purchase.
