LEGO Speed Champions McLaren P1

Product Information

If you want to build it in another color, export the partslist and simply swap the white parts into the other.

And, naturally, you can’t help but play with the differential too, just to make sure it works (wink). Sadly, depending on how you look at it, this is the most complicated part of the whole 18+ set. In fact, aside from the typical issues of uncooperative pins, this set really isn’t much of a challenge or terribly interesting/exciting from a mechanical standpoint at all.At this point you can’t help but play with it, though the springs are needed for additional stability and… well… spring. With a reputation for innovation and technological excellence, McLaren is one of the UK’s largest independent companies. Inside there are 10 numbered bags 1-4, an unnumbered bag, and, of course, the tires. It’s immediately apparent that there isn’t a ton of meat to this set. To be honest, it feels like the initial assessment of the contents is that they don’t live up to the box size. The LEGO Group was founded in Billund, Denmark in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, its name derived from the two Danish words LEg GOdt, which mean “Play Well”. Today, the LEGO Group remains a family-owned company headquartered in Billund. However, its products are now sold in more than 130 countries worldwide. As previously mentioned, once the structure is mostly finished, there’s a lot going on. But it makes for a nice-looking suspension.

Let’s imagine a Venn diagram for a moment. There are LEGO Technic fans, Formula 1 fans, and fans that are in the center where those two meet. Or, we could even look at it as a sliding scale from average AFOL (Adult fan of LEGO) to diehard F1 fan. Where do you fall? If you’re curious, I’m a life-consuming AFOL with some special interest in Technic. I’m not well-versed in Formula 1, but I respect the aesthetics. I also did a fair amount of research for this article. So what’s my take? McLaren is a pioneer that continuously pushes the boundaries. In 1981, it introduced lightweight and strong carbon fibre chassis into Formula 1 with the McLaren MP4/1. McLaren Automotive also chooses to partner with like-minded, world-leading companies and organisations who push the boundaries in their respective fields. These include Ashurst, Bowers & Wilkins, Gulf, InfiniteWorld, Pirelli, Richard Mille, Plan International and Tumi. Both LEGO creations pay homage to McLaren's technical innovation and design language with authentic details from the real-life cars, including the Papaya Orange colour of the F1 LM, its central driving seat position, and cooling ducts. The company’s product portfolio of GT, supercar, Motorsport and Ultimate models are retailed through over 100 retailers in over 40 markets around the world.
