The LEGO Group has teamed up with Peugeot Sport to bring us the LEGO Technic Peugeot 9X8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar (42156), paying homage to the real-life hybrid hypercar ahead of its debut at Le Mans.
The engineering feat of creating a precise 1:10 scale version of the Peugeot 9X8 hypercar was a challenging task for both the LEGO Group and Peugeot Sport design teams. But with their expertise and passion for competition at the highest level, they were able to bring the 9X8 to life with LEGO Technic elements.
The LEGO Technic Peugeot 9X8 features the same sleek silhouette, lime flashes on the livery, and elegant profile as the original car, capturing the thrill of racing in every detail.
The LEGO Technic Peugeot 9X8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar boasts impressive features, including a V6 engine connected to the rear wheels and a replica of the electric motor connected to the front wheels. The hypercar’s unique doors, low-emission hybrid powertrain cables, and powerful suspension are all replicated in this fantastic model. Even better, the model includes glow-in-the-dark light elements that will make it stand out in any collection.
This latest brick-built supercar clocks in at 1,775 pieces and measures over 5 in. (13 cm) high, 9 in. (22 cm) wide, and 19.5 in. (50 cm) long when fully built. It is expected to retail for $200 once it is released on May 1, 2023.
The LEGO Technic Peugeot 9X8 hypercar was unveiled at the first FIA World European Championship race in Portugal and will be available for purchase from May 1st at LEGO stores both online and in-store.
