Lego offers a variety of fantastic projects for car fans. Another option is the McLaren P1 at a 1:8 scale, adding to the long list.
The set consists of a whopping 3,893 bricks and impresses with its attention to detail. Besides the opening doors, there is a detailed interior, a movable spoiler, and functional suspension. The engine is also excellently replicated - a 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8.
Kasper Rene Hansen - the Lego designer responsible for this creation - says they wanted to capture every detail as accurately as possible and were unwilling to compromise. He explains that the biggest challenge was the doors, which required the development of a new mechanism to keep them in the open position.
The P1 will join the Lego Technic Ultimate Car Concept Series, which already includes models like the Bugatti Chiron, Lamborghini Sián, and Ferrari Daytona SP3. As one might expect, it won't be cheap.
