Lego Technic’s latest creation is a 1:10 model of the Peugeot 9X8 Hybrid Hypercar. The 1,775-piece set has been given code 42156 and will cost $199.99, set for a May 1, 2023 launch date.
Peugeot uses the 9X8 Hybrid to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It is powered by a 680-horsepower twin-turbo 2.6-liter V6 with a 272-horsepower electric motor integrated into a seven-speed sequential transmission. The motor is powered by a 900V battery system.
Lego and Peugeot say it took a full year of collaboration to turn the physical car into a Lego Technic model. The 1:10 scale allows for a measurement of 50 cm long, 22 cm wide and 13 cm high.
