The LEGO Group launches new range of racing vehicles

The toy company teams up with racing titans BMW, McLaren Racing & Senna brand, and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 team to bring incredible vehicles.

Brace yourself for an adrenaline-fueled playtime as the LEGO® Group unveils its latest collection of vehicles, developed in partnership with iconic car and racing brands including BMW, McLaren Racing & Senna brand, and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team.

With this new and exciting lineup, the company aims to celebrate fans’ passion for racing and create exciting play experiences for families to enjoy together, as they recreate some of the most iconic cars of the industry:

LEGO® ICONS has recreated one of the most successful F1 cars of all time, the 1988 McLaren MP4/4. Developed in collaboration with McLaren Racing and the Senna brand, the in-scale 10330 LEGO ICONS McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna has accurate detailing and realistic functions. The product includes working steering, rod suspension, an adjustable rear wing, slick tires, mirrors, a gearshift and a detailed turbocharged V6 engine, alongside a display stand for the car and Ayrton Senna minifigure.

Included in the new range is the same car in two different versions, for different recommended ages. So now, families can bond over a great building experience with the LEGO® Technic™ Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance for adults aged 18+ and the pull-back version for kids aged 7+.

The 42171 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance, a 1:8 scale model for adults, features authentic livery details, a working V6 engine with moving pistons that fans can explore up close when removing the engine cover, an opening wing inspired by the real world car’s DRS, individual suspension, functioning steering and slick tires.

The pull-back version for kids – 42165 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance Pull Back – offers both an authentic look and realistic movement for a great action-packed play, as they recreate their favourite racing moments and imagine life as a champion driver.

The 76919 LEGO Speed Champions 2023 McLaren Formula 1 Race Car for kids aged 9+ gives young fans the opportunity to experience the black-and-papaya livery as well as iconic design details from the real-life race car coming to life as they build. The buildable car kit also comes with a driver minifigure for kids to place behind the wheel for exciting play races.

The 42141 LEGO Technic™ McLaren Formula 1 Race Car, which launched in 2022, remains in the LEGO® Group’s portfolio, so families can share a fun building experience together.
