Here’s a challenge for you: set your eyes on the current breed of hybrid hypercars from McLaren, Ferrari, and Porsche, and try your hardest not to desperately want every single one of them. For even the mildly motor-enthused, it’s clearly an impossible task. Thankfully, the best toymaker in the world is here to help. Lego has partnered with all three of the above carmakers to offer the Speed Champions builder kits, scheduled for release in March 2015. Is it weird for a grown man to get giddy about the idea of owning a miniature plastic P1? I certainly don’t think so.
The Speed Champions line will include much more than just the three manufacturers’ halo vehicles. There’s also a Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, Ferrari F14 with Scuderia transport truck, McLaren Mercedes MP4-29 with pit stop, and a pair of Porsche 911s with a finish line and functioning starter lights, among others.
The pieces look stupendous, complete with racers, tools, checkered flags, and racing decals. Additionally, when you’re ready for even higher levels of enjoyment, you can tear apart the cars and combine kits. We’re thinking a septuple-engined, front-mid-rear-ship, ultra-mega car with the weight of small moon for downforce and a 0-to-60 time of now. Top speed is infinite. No less than five drivers are needed to control it. We’ll call it: the McPorrari.
