Mini McLaren Elva Added To The LEGO Speed Champions Garage

McLaren Automotive and the LEGO Group have joined forces to create the new miniature LEGO Speed Champions McLaren Elva.

McLaren Automotive and the LEGO Group have joined forces to create a new miniature McLaren Elva for LEGO fans.

Created as a tiny replica of one of the world’s most exclusive open-top speedsters, the 263-piece supercar joins the LEGO garage alongside other miniature models, including the McLaren P1™, the 720S, McLaren Senna, and the McLaren Senna GTR.

Modeled off the exclusive 1 of 149 McLaren Elva hypercar, the LEGO Speed Champions McLaren Elva has been scaled down and measures over 1.5in. (4cm) high, 6in. (16cm) long and 3in. (7cm) wide.

The Speed Champions McLaren Elva also comes with a McLaren driver minifigure, complete with race suit, helmet, and wrench, inspired by McLaren Automotive’s Principal Development Engineer for Ultimate Series, Rachel Brown.

Having worked on incredible vehicle projects like the McLaren Senna GTR, and also supported the design and creation of the LEGO Technic™ McLaren Senna GTR, Rachel’s role follows McLaren Ultimate Series models, including the Elva, all the way from concept to production and managing elements such as track and aerodynamic wind tunnel testing.

“It is amazing to have witnessed the Elva go from a boundary-pushing concept drawing all the way to final vehicle production. It feels even more special now to see all of that hard work transformed into the LEGO Speed Champions Elva model for us to share with children and fans across the world,” shares Rachel Brown, Principle Development Engineer – Ultimate Series, McLaren Automotive

“Ever since I was a child I have dreamed of driving and testing cars and I still can’t believe that it’s a part of my job. I hope that it inspires other young people to follow their passions and pursue careers in the automotive or design and engineering industries. There are so many incredible opportunities.’’

“With LEGO Speed Champions, we hope to bring LEGO fans of all ages closer to the car of their dreams and encourage them to believe they can be whatever they want to be, just like Rachel has. That’s why it’s been such a privilege to work with McLaren to create a LEGO version of the Elva,” says Chris Stamp, Design Manager, LEGO Speed Champions. “We worked closely with the McLaren team from conception of the idea when the real Elva was still in early development, all the way through the design process.”

The new LEGO Speed Champions McLaren Elva is available from June 2021 from LEGO.com and retailers globally with an RRP of $19.99.
