Lego Technic makes first F1 scale model with McLaren

MANILA: Lego Technic has unboxed its McLaren Formula 1 race car — the first F1 scale model made by the collectible manufacturer. 

Made in collaboration with McLaren Racing, the Lego Technic McLaren F1 model wears the livery from the British racing team's actual 2021 MCL35 race car.

At the same time, the model shows the design of 2022 F1 cars, Technical Executive Director for McLaren Racing James Key said in a release. 

The Lego Technic McLaren F1 car replicates the real car's V6 engine with moving pistons, and features functional steering, suspension and differential lock.

Made with 1,432 pieces, the Lego McLaren measures over five inches tall, 25.5 inches long, and 10.5 inches wide. The model can be applied with sponsor logos as seen in the real F1 car. 

The Lego Technic McLaren F1 car is available at Lego's official online store, and online stores Lazada, Shopee, Dotcom, and Zalora. The scale model retails for P12,000.
