The Lego Group and Peugeot Sport's design teams have collaborated to create a highly accurate 1:10 scale model of the 9X8 hypercar, which portrays the car's sleek silhouette, lime flashes on the livery, and the Allure of the 9X8.
This new model accurately replicates the electric 7-speed transmission, unique doors, low-emission hybrid powertrain system, powerful suspension, and elegant profile of the real-life 4-wheel drive hypercar. It also includes fantastic details such as the V6 engine and glow-in-the-dark light elements that capture the thrilling experience of racing.
Speaking about the 1,775-piece marvel, Kasper René Hansen, Designer at the Lego Group said:
“Our two brands have come together to create a product that celebrates a new era of hybrid racing and engineering. Recreating the shapes and details of such an elegant car using Lego Technic elements wasn’t an easy feat, but it’s been an honor to work so creatively with the Team Peugeot TotalEnergies on this one and I’m proud that together we have been able to build the hypercar for real in LEGO Technic form.”
Olivier Jansonnie, Technical Director Peugeot Sport:
“Our technical cooperation with the Lego Group started in January 2022, 5 months before the Peugeot 9X8 reveal. It took one year to fully develop the project with the technical and design teams, allowing us to directly transpose the technical details of the Peugeot 9X8 to the Lego Technic model.”
When fully constructed, this new Lego Technic set stands at a height of 5 inches (13 cm), has a width of 9 inches (22 cm), and reaches a length of 19.5 inches (50 cm). It is guaranteed to offer an exciting experience for fans of both racing and Lego.
The Lego version of the race car model was revealed at the first FIA World European Championship race in Portugal ahead of the real-life car taking to the tracks in preparation for its highly anticipated appearance at the Le Mans 24 Hour race on June 10th-11th.
Starting from May 1st, the Lego Technic Peugeot 9X8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar set will be sold at Lego Stores, on the Lego website, and at Peugeot dealerships. The price for the set will be 199.99€ / $199.99 / £169.99.
