Forecast Model

This shows the set's value since release and where our forecast expects it to go.
LEGO 42172 McLaren P1 is a Technic Licensed set released in 2024, containing 3893 pieces. It builds a 1:8 scale model of the McLaren P1 with a 7-speed sequential gearbox with shifter drum, working suspension, a V8 piston engine linked to the drivetrain, an adjustable rear wing, and butterfly-style opening doors. The model focuses on mechanical functions and bodywork shaping characteristic of Technic’s large-scale supercars. It is based on the 2013 McLaren P1, a limited-production hybrid sports car.

McLaren P1 should leave shelves around 2026. From there, our forecast has its value climbing to about $696 within five years.

“"It's amazing to see so many of the elements from the original P1 brought to life by the Lego team," Tobias Sühlmann, McLaren Automotive's chief design officer, said. "I hope this collaboration inspires the next generation of designers and engineers to push the boundaries of automotive innovation."”

Whether in McLaren's facility, meticulously handcrafting bespoke luxury supercars, or Lego's design centers, testing the perfect mechanisms and fits for every creation for months, those elements shine through beautifully.”
