The new LEGO Icons McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna set is finally available & it’s a must-have for F1 fans

A must-have set for F1 fans, the LEGO Icons McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna set is finally available. Here’s what you can expect and where you can buy it.

Ayrton Senna is an icon. There is no doubt about it. In fact, many regard the Brazilian Formula One driver as the greatest of all time. He was widely respected for his raw talent and commitment to becoming the best Formula 1 driver in the world. He did. Senna was crowned World Champion three times. 

Of course, the F1 race car Senna drove to achieve these feats is also legendary. Indeed, he claimed all three of his World Championship titles when he was behind the wheel of a McLaren MP4/4 during his tenure, which stretched six seasons, at the McLaren F1 racing outfit. 

However, there is more to this F1 race car’s illustrious history. To today, it remains the most successful F1 race car, with a win percentage of 93.8%. 

Senna is iconic. The McLaren MP4/4 is iconic. So, it’s only appropriate that LEGO has released a new LEGO Icons set paying homage to the man and his machine. Yup, the LEGO Icons McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna set is finally available.

What’s more, it is available at several stores. Here’s what you can expect of this kit and where you can buy it.

LEGO McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna now available

Developed in partnership with McLaren and the SENNA brand, the in-scale replica of the McLaren MP4/4 features a host of design details reminiscent of the 1988 original with which Senna claimed his first World Champion title. These include the authentic white-and-red livery, and the branding found on the real-life model. 

In addition, the LEGO-reimagined McLaren MP4/4 is equipped with a detailed, turbocharged V6 engine. There are also working steering, rod suspension, an adjustable rear wing, and slick tires.

What’s more, the set ships with a display stand. So you can display this kit as a centerpiece or among your other car-inspired LEGO Icons kits. This LEGO F1 car measures five inches tall, six-and-a-half inches wide, and 12.5 inches long.

How cool would it be if LEGO introduces more LEGO Icons sets inspired by other legendary F1 racing drivers, such as Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher, and their race cars? A collection comprising these will undoubtedly look spectacular. 

However, F1 fans can rest assured that they can expand their F1-inspired LEGO collection with a trio of other models. Indeed, the LEGO Technic Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 for adults and W14-based model for kids are now available. There’s also a LEGO Speed Champions McLaren F1 model.

So, if you’re a die-hard F1 fan, it’ll be worth your while to also check out these newly-released kits. You know, take a glance and, of course, add them to your cart and click that “check out” button.

But back to the race car featured here. A special addition to this set, it includes a minifigure of Ayrton Senna, dressed in his racing suit. There are also accessories of a racing helmet and, of course, a trophy. 

In addition, you can place the Senna minifigure on a podium-style display stand, which comes with an information plaque. The latter features a photo of Senna and his iconic quote, “No matter what your dream is, you have to dedicate yourself entirely to it.”
