The Aussie Formula One ace’s race car has been scaled down with a replica engine and functional steering system.
Daniel Ricciardo‘s new 2022 McLaren Formula One car took thousands of man hours to develop and build – however, you can now put your own scaled-down version together in an afternoon.
Designated item number #42141, the newest addition to Lego’s automotive range comprises 1432 parts and measures 65cm from nose to tail. The highest point stands at 13cm, and the wheels are 27cm apart.
A replica V6 hybrid power unit – with moving pistons – is fitted behind the driver’s seat, while a functional steering wheel, suspension system, and differential are also included with the set.
The new model kit will not arrive in local stores until March 2022, however it will soon become available to pre-order online for $279.99 in Australia.
