The Lego-ified Peugeot hybrid will be available from May 1 for $199.99, just in time for this year's Le Mans race.
Lego Technic has revealed its newest set: a 1:10-scale version of Peugeot's 9X8 Hybrid Hypercar set to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.
The 1775-piece model measures 5.0 inches high, 9.0 inches wide, and 19.5 inches long. It was built through a collaboration between Lego and Peugeot Sport, and from photos it seems they've done a fantastic job replicating the car's design ethos as a sleek, futuristic racer. We're especially fond of the glow-in-the-dark lighting elements up front, giving the Lego Technic 9X8 a more realistic vibe.
It's not just the design Lego got right. The building block company also managed to fit a scale version of the V-6 engine sending power to the rear wheels, along with a replica of the electric motor sending power to the front wheels .“Our two brands have come together to create a product that celebrates a new era of hybrid racing and engineering," Lego designer Kasper René Hansen said in a statement.
Lego says the Technic 9X8 will go on sale at Lego stores and Lego.com starting May 1, priced from $199.99.
