Including design and development, a total of 4,935 hours went into creating the model, involving no fewer than 42 men and women from the LEGO build team’.
McLaren says enthusiasts of all ages will be able to get up close to the first LEGO McLaren at a variety of events throughout this year, including the UK’s Goodwood Festival of Speed in early July.
