Lando Norris Unveils His Latest Ride: A Life-Size, Drivable Lego McLaren P1

The full-size replica, which features an electric powertrain, is made out of 342,817 Lego Technic pieces and is the first Lego build to feature fully functional steering.

Welp, we’ve got a new favorite Lego set. McLaren has partnered with Lego to build a 1:1-scale replica P1 hypercar entirely out of Lego Technic pieces, then sent Formula 1 driver Lando Norris to take it for a spin around Silverstone.

According to McLaren, the car comprises 342,817 pieces and was completed by a team of 23 designers, engineers, and builders. The whole task took the team 8344 hours from development through construction—much longer than we spend on our typical Lego set. The Lego model weighs in at roughly 2690 pounds, which makes it about 600 pounds lighter than the production model.

Based on the footage in the video above, there’s a real EV powertrain hidden under the plastic bodywork, though, the release is noticeably void of any performance metrics. Even without any hint of a lap time, we’re pretty confident that this was the slowest lap Lando has ever completed around Silverstone.
