McLaren P1 - 42172

LEGO Technic McLaren P1 (42172)

Build the McLaren P1 in 1:8 scale, in bright orange. At 3,893 pieces, it’s one of the biggest Technic cars LEGO has made, and a centrepiece for adult builders and supercar fans.

The functions are real. A 7-speed gearbox with shifter drum and a V8 piston engine do their work under the skin, the suspension moves, and the butterfly-style doors swing open. The adjustable rear wing and the detail in the engine bay and interior give it the look of the real hypercar. Like the real car, each set carries its own unique serial number that unlocks exclusive online content.

At around 59cm long, it makes an impressive display piece, and the build is a long, rewarding project, around 11 hours by one reviewer’s count.
