So, one could easily insert the old joke here that if you can’t afford the real McLaren 720S here’s the alternative, McLaren 720S LEGO. But to be honest we’re not sure any 720S lover would find this brick representation of the supercar any good because, well, look at it!

So this thing is not going to appeal to petrolheads. But what about their kids? They will almost certainly find the new McLaren 720S LEGO an absolute delight, at least if they are a tad geeky and like to pretend they are a car designer. That’s right, instead of a driver this LEGO set comes with a car designer minifigure and design studio desk, complete with coffee cup, original design sketch. and 3D-printed model car. McLaren, huh?

The LEGO interpretation of the McLaren 720S reflects the most exciting part of the design process, when a two-dimensional sketch is transformed into a physical, three-dimensional model,” commented McLaren Automotive Chief Designer, Rob Melville. “Building a model like this gives the next generation of McLaren enthusiasts a taste of just how exhilarating that moment is for designers.”

The McLaren 720S LEGO will be available from June 1 and it comes in Azure Orange which could be the only thing between it and the real supercar.
