Here's A Way You Can Own A McLaren 720S For £12.99

Lego is building an awesome portfolio of car models, and fans can now add the McLaren 720S to the list. With a caveat.

We’ve already seen fantastic large-scale Lego versions of the Ferrari F40, Caterham 7 and Porsche 911 GT3 RS, but the Speed Champions 720S is part of the range of smaller, less complex builds for younger kids. On the plus side, while you could pay £180 for the GT3 RS, the miniature 720S will set you back just £12.99.

That means, if you were wondering, that you could buy 16,058 and a half of the models for the same £208,600 as one of the 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged, 710bhp full-size cars.

With just one armpower the dinky orange McLaren won’t break any speed records, but the set does come with a Lego car designer figure, complete with trendy design desk and coffee mug. And you don’t get that with the real one.

Deliveries (to stores) will start in June, just after the first proper 720S reaches its owner.
