Have a go at LEGO's 1432-piece McLaren F1 car!

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."

Lego Technic's head of product Neils Henrik Horsted added: "The partnership between the Lego Group and McLaren continuously develops each time we get together for the next collaboration.

"The way in which we are able to inspire our fans through the technology and designs produced pushes the limits of possibility, both on the racetrack and whilst building with Lego bricks.

"This unique product is a true testament to the importance of the play experience for our fans."

LEGO's is set to release the first licensed F1 car in LEGO Technic product line on March 1.
