LEGO® Speed Champions have been recreating micro versions of famous automotive brands cars for a number of years now. But this week they kicked things up a notch by unveiling a life-sized LEGO McLaren Senna. The car took 30 people, around six months to build and it contains almost half a million LEGO bricks, all built around a steel chassis, and featuring real McLaren wheels, seat and other elements. It’s a little similar to the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron, in terms of scale. Although you can’t own this unique new LEGO build for yourself, you can bring the thrill of the race to your LEGO collection with the new LEGO Speed Champions sets.
The most extreme track-focused road car built by McLaren. Brought down to size. Personifying McLaren’s DNA. The third collaboration between McLaren Automotive and LEGO® Speed Champions and the Ultimate LEGO Speed Champions set.
“The McLaren Senna allows us to include new building techniques that we wouldn’t be able to do with other cars, because no other car out there has glass doors” Christopher Leslie Stamp, LEGO® Speed Champions Designer
The LEGO Speed Champions McLaren Senna is hand-assembled. Much like each full-size McLaren Senna. For petrol heads and junior aerodynamicists aged 7 and upwards. Challenging the impossible. Comprising of 219 pieces in each 15cm-long model. The kit includes one thing that not even the real Senna comes with – its own buildable wind tunnel. Providing an utterly unique build event.
