LEGO McLaren F1 Technice Formula 1 Race Car 42228 Brand New Sealed Box

About this deal

The LEGO Technic 42228 McLaren MCL39 F1 Car is based on McLaren's 2025 Formula 1 challenger, the championship-winning car that featured the team's iconic papaya-and-black livery. The set contains 1,675 pieces and is built at 1:8 scale, with the finished model measuring roughly 61 cm long and 13 cm tall. Rated 18+ and priced at £199.99 in the UK, it is aimed at adult LEGO enthusiasts and motorsport fans looking for a challenging and rewarding build. One of the highlights is its authentic suspension setup, featuring pull-rod front suspension and push-rod rear suspension, reflecting real-world F1 engineering. Removing the rear engine cover reveals a brick-built V6 engine with moving pistons that cycle in sync with the drivetrain. A functional two-speed gearbox allows builders to shift between ratios, with gear changes altering the speed at which the pistons move. The set also includes a DRS adjustable spoiler on the rear wing. Once complete, the model makes an impressive display piece celebrating the same car driven by Lando Norris when he won his first World Drivers' Championship.
