McLaren Life-Size LEGO Technic P1

The first LEGO car that can actually take a corner.

LEGO’s 2024 life-size McLaren P1 was engineered to do what no previous LEGO “big build” could: actually steer. That makes it the first drivable-and-steerable full-scale LEGO car, capable of tackling a real race circuit. Built from 342,817 Technic elements (including 11 bespoke new parts) and driven by 768 LEGO motors across eight packs, the papaya-orange P1 measures within millimetres of the real hypercar. For the reveal, McLaren F1 driver Lando Norris climbed in and lapped Silverstone.
