42172 - McLaren P1

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Someone got a speed build already.

All I see is a pretty lame influencer video. For a proper speed build see Brick Depot's one posted earlier.

I saw the drum that is used for shifting. Only in orange this time for some reason.

It's orange because the profile is probably different from the Yamaha's. And there are two in total.

I think it looks really nice.

But €450 is a lot of money, and not what I want to spend on a lego set...

Also, the amount of pieces keeps increasing, and I'm not happy with that.

This one has 1000 pieces more than the Porsche 42056, and I own that one, and it almost feels like a job building it.

The guy who designed 42156 Peugeot also designed this car. Does anyone know if Uwa Wabra is retired from Lego? Nothing heared about him for a long time

It actually has adjustable suspension height look here: https://www.facebook.com/helena.anjos16/videos/469623202356387?idorvanity=117020648369977

Actually, in the video you can see just how bad the front end is done, in comparison to the real thing.

I don't see it

The clutch under the differential doesn't look promising.

And the steering lock is extremely limited.

There is new kind of clutch gear on mclaren. Looks like 12t in my eye.

Yes. It's 12t 2L clutch gear.

Do you all see the new suspension control arms?  Have I been living under a rock, or are those new?  They appear to be at least 7 studs long, maybe even 8.  They look great to me! 

Those new 12t clutch gears are fantastic!  Some of us have wishing for such a part for years now. Kudos to TLG for listening.

And there seems to be a new suspension arm...

 

Too late; please ignore...

I hope that differential could fit inside...

...to make narrow suspension...

Actually it is very wide...

Guessing from the speedbuilds the suspension arms should be 7x7 studs wide and around 1,5-2 studs tall. The 12t clutch gear is a dream come true, I can't wait to get my hands on them and try building a compact dual clutch transmission

Looks like bump steer to me.

I thought the same, although it probably wouldn’t be much different than using 6L links with the 5 stud long control arms that were so prevalent in previous models.

Do you guys even read through the comments before you post the same thing over and over again?

[SNIPE]

Does this set have adjustable ride height or not?

Everything else I love, all of the flame yellowish orange recolors, the new 12 tooth clutch gear, the new suspension arms, the orange changeover catch, the black shock absorbers the door mechanism, the paddle shifter. the gearbox , all of it! :)

Looking at the video of the build, the front shocks are fixed to the frame, so I'd say no.

It doesn't or else they would brag about it in the product description. The promotional video is just very deceitful. Nothing more.

Uwe designed the V-TOL Spaceship for this year. You can check out my bricklists on brickset.

I see an immediate alternate use in helicopters rotor control. Exactly the part I needed.

[Unbrickme]

That guy with the inappropriate facial expression strikes again!

I am genuinely IN SHOCK that they finally made a 7 speed transmission. It is not just a reskinned bugatti/laborghini/daytona, it is a completely new car and I love it!

I love gearboxes, especially when LEGO Technic sets introduce some brand new types of gearboxes!

[lmdesigner42]

I'm really liking this set, besides the fact that it's a P1. Way more curvy panels compared to 42056 and 42083, as well as new mechanical elements for the suspension and gearbox. I don't like the price tag though...

Was that at me?

You just made me read 9 pages of rumours and nonsense, my comment was new, and that's ten minutes I'm never getting back.

Can't tell if the shift drum profiles are exactly the same or not, maybe they just changed the 45° axle misalignment.

So, are you telling that we, the members of Eurobricks forums, delivered rumors and produced nonsenses for the last nine page of this thread? Be careful when you are talking that way that even if it is pointed lightheartedly.

No, I am not even going to respond to your (or anyone in your defense) reply to this post if you decide to do so.

Looks like the exclusive laser-etched codes will be present as well, for that premium Certificate of Authenticity and those high quality wallpaper you get for free for 450 bucks. ;)
