McLaren Automotive and the LEGO Group today unveil their latest collaboration paying tribute to the world’s most pioneering hybrid hypercar, with the introduction of the LEGO ® Technic™ McLaren P1™. The McLaren P1™ redefined automotive high-performance as the most exciting, most capable, most technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar of its time. The P1™ leveraged McLaren’s advanced motorsport-based engineering, featuring ground-breaking advances in weight reduction, packaging, high-speed performance, powertrain and aerodynamics. The incredible 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 was created by the LEGO Technic design team in close collaboration with McLaren Automotive and both teams were focused on implementing as much cutting-edge functionality in the model as possible, as a tribute to both the real P1™ as well as the engineering excellence that McLaren is known for. “It’s amazing to see so many of the elements from the original P1 brought to life by the LEGO team for the LEGO Technic McLaren P1™. I hope this collaboration inspires the next generation of designers and engineers to push the boundaries of automotive innovation.” Tobias Sühlmann Chief Design Officer, McLaren Automotive. The LEGO Technic McLaren P1™ set will be available at www.LEGO.com/McLaren and LEGO Stores from 1st August 2024 priced at €459.99 / £399.99/ $459.99. When purchasing the set between 1st – 7th August 2024, LEGO Insiders will receive the LEGO Technic McLaren P1™ Logo as a gift with purchase.

Realizing how long it took me to build a McLaren F1 car last year, I think it would take me the rest of my life if I were to attempt to build this on my own! Impressive work!
Absolutely incredible detail!! 😲
Now that’s something I want to buy Just ordered the McLaren F1 LEGO set
Mike Coomber - I can see this being added to your collection?
As much as it looks great there is no way I am paying that much! The Ferrari Daytona was around £170 less for the same size build! Someone needs to remember these are toys made from plastic! My 9 year old lad has a YouTube channel building all the Lego cars he can get his hands on but this is just way too much to even consider it for him!
I loved working on this Project at my time at McLaren. An amazing car designed and built by an amazing team
This collaboration between McLaren and LEGO Technic is a brilliant fusion of automotive innovation and creative engineering. The meticulous attention to detail in replicating the P1™ not only showcases the prowess of both brands but also serves as an educational tool, inspiring future engineers and designers. The unique serial number feature adds an exclusive touch, enhancing the collector's experience. Exciting times for both car enthusiasts and LEGO fans!
