New Lego Technic McLaren Senna GTR Is a Mini Model of the Ultimate Series Supercar
Lego has announced a new Lego Technic McLaren Senna GTR model will be created for fans of the ultimate series track-car, with availability starting from January 2021.
Lego has once again been hard at work in their plastic brick garage and now after collaborating with McLaren Automotive, have revealed the new Lego Technic McLaren Senna GTR.
Created out of 830 tiny plastic pieces, the ultimate series track-focused mini Lego supercar measures 12 inches (32cm) and has been recreated faithfully with a one-of-kind blue/silver livery, opening dihedral doors and even a “moving” V8 engine complete with tiny pistons.
Discussing the new downsized model of the car he helped design, Robert Melville, Design Director at McLaren Automotive shared, “The team responsible for the design of the McLaren Senna GTR worked incredibly closely with their design counterparts at the LEGO Group to capture the extreme looks, excitement and essence of such an incredible supercar for LEGO Technic builders. Just like the real thing, the LEGO model is packed full of incredible details from the rear spoiler to the moving pistons in the V8 engine to the dihedral doors meaning that we’re as proud of the model as we are of the real car.”
Lego Technic Senior Designer Uwe Wabra also added, “Just like the incredible engineers at McLaren do when designing their supercars, we really pushed things to the max so the resulting model perfectly honours the art form that is the McLaren Senna GTR.”
Thankfully as the first McLaren supercar model to be released in Lego Technic format, the miniature model is slightly more affordable on the wallet compared to the full-scale version costing over $1 million and limited to 75 vehicles.
Launching globally from January 1, 2021, the Lego Technic McLaren Senna GTR will be available from LEGO.com, retailers, and participating McLaren retailers for a recommended retail price of $49.99, £44.99, €49,99.
