Set McLaren P1 42172 + Wall Display Frame

This is a LEGO Technic set that truly stands out:

👍🏻 It consists of 3,893 pieces and offers a good level of difficulty, taking many hours to complete.
👍🏻 From the moment you receive the box, you realize this isn’t an ordinary set—it exudes quality and exclusivity.
The highlight is the experience of assembling the V8 engine, complete with moving parts that replicate the piston movements. The dihedral-opening doors are faithfully recreated, adding to the authenticity.

The 1:8 scale size is impressive, so you’ll need ample space to display it.

📍 In addition, the set includes a Premium Wall Display Frame designed specifically for the McLaren. The frame is exceptionally well-crafted, sturdy, and stylish, making it effortless to display the car securely while adding a touch of elegance to any room. Assembly of the frame is quick and straightforward, complementing the car's build perfectly.

The packaging is also top-tier, showcasing LEGO's dedication to providing a premium experience from start to finish. Together, the McLaren model and the display frame form a stunning combination, creating a piece that resembles a true work of art.

📍 In summary, this set isn’t just a model—it’s an experience. A must-have for automotive and LEGO enthusiasts alike, it’s a masterpiece that is as rewarding to build as it is to admire. Absolutely SPECTACULAR!

As a car enthusiast, I couldn’t resist. With nearly 4,000 pieces, its complexity is balanced by detailed instructions and premium packaging that immediately conveys quality. The build process was a rewarding challenge, taking an entire weekend to complete with friends, creating a memorable shared experience. Features like the functional rear spoiler, V8 engine pistons, and realistic suspension elevate it beyond just a model—it’s a technical marvel.

Adding to its allure is the Premium Wall Display Frame, included with the set, which makes showcasing the finished model effortless. The frame is of exceptional quality, sturdy yet stylish, and perfectly sized to highlight the 1:8 scale car. Together, the car and frame transform into a true work of art, seamlessly blending engineering and aesthetics.

The overall packaging is luxurious, with every detail thoughtfully designed to enhance the experience. This bundle isn’t just a model kit—it’s an investment in craftsmanship and design. Highly recommended for passionate LEGO and car enthusiasts looking for a display piece that’s as rewarding to build as it is to admire.

I love LEGOs, so my opinion might be biased. This LEGO set is straightforward to assemble and can be completed in about ten hours. The result is outstanding, with plenty of technical details—spring-loaded doors, a sequential gearbox controlled from the steering wheel, and a deployable rear spoiler. Visually, I even prefer it to the Ferrari set, which was also excellent.

Of course, I highly recommend it.

Frame
What makes this set even better is the inclusion of the Premium Wall Display Frame, designed specifically for the McLaren. The frame is exceptionally well-made, combining durability and style, and is incredibly easy to assemble. It perfectly showcases the McLaren model, elevating it from a collectible to a work of art.

The combination of the car and the display frame transforms this set into a stunning centerpiece. It’s not just a model but a statement piece for any LEGO or car enthusiast. The quality of both the set and the frame is unmatched, making this a must-have for anyone looking for an extraordinary build-and-display experience.

The Premium Wall Display Frame included makes this set even more special. It’s sturdy, stylish, and easy to assemble, transforming the car into an actual piece of art for my living room.

A marvel and a continuous surprise, right from the moment you open the box. Let’s start with the numbers: box dimensions are 52x38x23 cm, weighing 7.5 kg.

The packaging is exceptional—perfectly designed. Upon opening, you’ll notice the signatures of the LEGO model’s designers on the box edges. Inside, there are three smaller boxes containing the pieces (in paper bags) and, carefully placed at the bottom, two instruction books, each nearly 500 pages long. The manuals detail every step of the model’s design process (in English, but other languages are accessible via QR code).

The building instructions are crystal clear, but as noted, this is not for everyone. The model's quality is outstanding, rich in details, and a highly accurate replica of the original McLaren. I haven’t finished assembling it yet, as I want to dedicate the right time and attention to the process, but it’s already incredibly satisfying.

Once completed, I’ll update my review. For now, I can confidently say that if you’re willing to invest in this masterpiece, I highly recommend it without a shadow of a doubt.

Bonus: Premium Wall Display Frame
Adding even more value to this set is the included Premium Wall Display Frame. This frame is exquisitely designed, sturdy, and easy to assemble, making it a perfect complement to the McLaren model. It allows you to proudly display your build, transforming it into a true centerpiece for any space.

Together, the McLaren model and the display frame create an artistic combination—a fusion of engineering and aesthetics. This set is not just a build; it’s an experience, a collectible, and a display piece that’s worth every penny. Highly recommended!
