Is this the 2024 LEGO Technic 1:8 scale supercar?

Since the unveiling of this set, I've had to answer the question in the title so many times that I decided to make a short video about it. So, is the LEGO Technic 42171 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance the 2024 1:8 scale supercar?

No it won’t because the super car will cost 450.00 dollars

[@EGO0808]

Boo ooh ooh…

[@M-Filip]

450.000? 😳😳

[@Legend_Henderik]

Its 220 euro or more i forgot

[@Blake_Hogan]

And it’ll have a gearbox

[@kanenstuff]

Supercars are for the road this is obviously a race car for the track not sure how people were thinking this.

[@freaky45]

I don't really understand how people can make such an assumption based off that small 1:8th scale indication, while completely ignoring A: The price difference between this and the 1:8 supercars (220 vs 450), B: The box is just the standard box for every adult set instead of the special boxes specially made for the 1:8th supercar and C: The release date not being in the summer like the previous 4 cars.

I'm waiting for your review before pre-ordering. Come on lets goooo!

[@shakinspider]

I’m putting my bets on the Mclaren Speedtail being the 1:8th scale car. It’s Mclaren’s flagship car, and it has unique shape and color compared to the other cars we got

[@aarongreenfield6142]

I don't think it will be. That car is a few years old now, normally they do something brand new for the 1:8 supercars.

[@Brixstar]

Yea but if it was a speed tail what colour would it be? The other cars are all flashy and they all use their launch specs. The most Likely colour to be used is yellow and McLaren launched the p1 in yellow

[@Dash_auz]

@@Brixstar I am thinking of that light blue color.

[@JimmyDuckworth]

I mean, the box with 1:8 scale logo is kinda misleading, but, the piece count should be a sure way of telling people that the AMG Petronas isn’t part of the actual 1:8 scale group

[@Ayden767]

I am really looking forward to this year’s next 1:8 scale lego technic supercar. I think that e McLaren speed rail would be probably what we will get here this year, as it is one of the most iconic cars in McLaren’s lineup, and would be well to replicate. I cannot wait to see the review of the 10330 McLaren MP4/4, planning on buying it but waiting until a review comes out to make my final decision.

[@roopika1181]

it's probably the McLaren Solus GT

[@extrakubik4123]

That wouldn't make much sense, because solus is a track car, so it would be if it would ever be in a 1/10 size category. All 1:8 supercars are multimillion road legal carsl​@roopika1181

[@joshsimpson1648]

​@roopika1181 hope so it seems better than my thought of the 750s which would be disappointing to me at least

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Thanks for the clarification. This in my opinion looks like the nicest F1 car Technic has made at this scale. The colors look great and the proportions look much better than the previously released one. Definitely excited for the review as well as the Kawasaki bike as it's definitely on the list for March. Really curious to see it scaled with the previous bikes in the lineup. With Speed Champions and Technic sets headlining the start of March it'll definitely be an epic Month for reviews.

[@techmakingthings5440]

Back in around 2017 all lego technic sets where like cool bulldozers and a lot of different vehicles, but since around 2019 lego saw that more ppl are interested in cars, so they made lots of lego technic car sets but where dit the function go? I was a lego technic fan pure for the function en mechanisms but nowadays its all just about looks and display, i wish we could go back to those set that had a lot of incredible function 😪

[@winlund4999]

Yay Finally cant wait😃

[@winlund4999]

Please What date will you post the review

[@Phone_Geek]

Available for preorder on uk shop now

[@LesPaulDavis]

Good point about the size of the suspension parts and wheels determining the overall size of the F1 car sets over the years. However, given current F1 cars are about 50% larger than they were 15 years ago, I wonder whether that growth is also shown across the generations of Technic sets from Silver Champion to 42000 to the 2022 McLaren to the new Mercedes.

[@RacingBrick]

The length difference is actually only about 20% between the 2022 McLaren F1 and a 2006 Ferrari F1 car (when 8674 was released). According to the measurements I found online, 8674 was in reality about 7.5:1 scale, while 42141 is about 8.5:1.

[@LesPaulDavis]

@@RacingBrick Fair enough, at least the newer car is bigger as scale accuracy is a dubious subject with Lego anyway.

I really want to see the upcoming orrery. We did not see anything from this set in action. 😅

[@youngdalai]

when will they release the 1:8 super car

[@Brixstar]

It’s realistically probably gonna be a McLaren p1 in yellow for many reasons. First it’s a hypercar and by the looks of the 1:8 scale cars, they are all hyper cars but with the exception of the Porsche however the Porsche was the first one and Lego never knew what would happen to the line up. It could also be a p1 because of its launch colour being yellow so perhaps a yellow p1 similar to the speed champions one and yellow hasn’t been used yet.The Chiron was launched in blue and Lego made it blue, the Sian was launched in olive green but Lego made it green, the Daytona was launched in red and Lego made it red and the 911 was launched in orange and Lego made it orange

[@pauljones3017]

The McLaren P1 has been out of production for 8 years.

[@MCohSnap]

I agree with a yellow colour. They could use new yellow colour parts on construction vehicles later.

[@chadechevalric686]

Im hoping for a Rimac. Cause it's build diffirent then any other car.

[@IndrasilDesignStudio]

According to my source, the upcoming 1:8 scale supercar is gonna be a McLaren indeed! Allegedly, set number 42172 with 3893 pieces, to be released in September this year.

[@Sonderax]

P1 or Senna please XD

[@tren133]

@@Sonderax Those are fine, but silver Mclaren F1 (or black McLaren F1 LM racer) would be even sicker!

[@Sonderax]

i dont see them going F1 but it would be awesome. Would end up grey not silver tho as no chance they make a while set in that satin silver@@tren133

[@tren133]

@@Sonderax F1 is just so much more iconic it would be so cool to have it in Lego 1:8 supercar form. If they can't do a good shade of silver then they should do the menacing black F1 GTR which literally won Le Mans outright. McLaren Senna is nice, but the F1 is arguably the greatest supercar ever made.

[@user-cv2lr5uy1x]

@@tren133Agree！F1 is so classic and has a boxy shape which is more easier for lego to capture. They have done a good job at Speed champion MF1. But traditionally lego would choose new car as technical flagship model😢，so it might be solus gt😢

I have no idea why Lego decided to put 1:8 on this box. I kind of hope Lego would remove that from the box someday when this set is not a part of the Lego Technic Supercar line.

[@richardhalliday6469]

Looking forward to the Mercedes but not as much as the supercar release - I agree with you, I am pretty confident it will be a McLaren - it totally makes sense as there is an existing license in place.

Honestly I think it will be a Koenigsegg, mainly because they would make a mclaren p1 and that was in orange, and orange was already done with the GT3RS. The Jesko has a red flagship (also is prominent in white) and they’ve yet to do Red.

[@DoorTechnicianRick]

[@sergiovalenzuela319]

The 1:8 Supercar has already been leaked. It's a McLaren and its cost is simlar as Ferrari SP3, Chiron etc. The thing is... which McLaren? Knowing that LEGO is using same licenses for different scale cars, and that McLaren car roster is not enormous... McLaren Formula 1 from modern era, like speed champions and last years technic? McLaren Honda from Senna? Or the glorious McLaren F1 road car? Maybe we could hope for a McLaren F1 LM Longtail

[@RacingBrick]

It won't be an F1 car for sure

[@roopika1181]

it's probably the Solus GT as it's a new hypercar and some sources have already leaked it

[@EGO0808]

The upcoming 1:8 supercar won’t be a McLaren, no way. In the line of Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ferrari, it will not be an (with all due respect) insignificant brand such as the McLaren. My guess will be more likely another German or Italian supercar.

[@vintermussen]

I bet the next 1:8 supercar is a "non F1 manufacture car builder" - because Porsche, Lamborghinni or Bugatti has NOT build a F1 so it could be a Koenigsegg or a Pagani - and the 2025 F1 i see a RedBull ;-)

It should be obvious that it is not the next 1:8 scale supercar for two reasons. First, the set is not a supercar, it is a Formula 1 car. Second, the box of the set does not look fancy as the 1:8 scale supercars. It is just a yet another boring 18+ box design.
