# You Can Now Add the McLaren 720S to Your Lego Car Collection

We here at *The Drive* always preferred Lego model cars over the more conventional—and more detail-oriented—metal toy cars. Maybe it's because when you smash them into things, they cinematically burst into little pieces and still let you put them back together. Either way, there's now a new Lego model car, based on the [recently-unveiled McLaren 720S](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/8094/mclaren-720s-behind-the-scenes-in-ny-this-changes-everything>), that you can crash into things in watch spray plastic blocks across the floor as much as you please.

The 720S Lego set comes with a Lego person car designer, a sketch desk (coffee and all), and all the pieces to build the car. Though no [7](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/8094/mclaren-720s-behind-the-scenes-in-ny-this-changes-everything>)[10-horsepower 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 ](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/8094/mclaren-720s-behind-the-scenes-in-ny-this-changes-everything>)can be found here.

If we're being honest, from the images McLaren has provided us with, this Lego build isn't exactly what we could call a *model* *replica* of the 720S. Like, sure. It gets the roof line right (maybe) and it's uh, orange, but it just doesn't do the 720S justice. Maybe we're just a bit spoiled after the release of that amazing [Lego Technic Porsche 911](<https://www.thedrive.com/gear-up/3169/want-a-porsche-911-gt3-rs-for-300-buy-this-lego-masterpiece>). That thing is wild.

According to the release from McLaren, a Lego designer spent a year designing this thing, so let's at least give them credit for that.

The 720S lego set will be available for purchase for about $16 in England come June.
