Baby Boomers or Generation Xers who also happen to be McLaren fans can now combine their nostalgia for LEGO's legendary plastic bricks with their passion for F1.
The famous Danish toy production company has come out with a 1432-piece model designed by its experts with the direct support of the McLaren F1 team and its technical director James Key.
The elaborate MCL35M model which features a McLaren signature papaya and blue livery and 2022 styling comes with a V6 hybrid engine with moving pistons, working suspension, steering capabilities and a differential lock!
"We are excited to unveil the unique Lego Technic model of our McLaren F1 car, a fun and engaging product that celebrates our 2021 season livery while giving fans a hands-on interpretation of the new 2022 F1 car design," said McLaren's technical director James Key.
"This has been made possible by an agile collaboration with the Lego Group team, who have truly embraced the spirit of our brave and bold approach to design. The final product looks fantastic, and we cannot wait to make this available to our fans."
