Electric Speed in Brick Form
The LEGO Technic #42169 NEOM McLaren Formula E Race Car is one of those sets that perfectly blends speed, engineering, and display-worthy design. Inspired by the real Formula E racer, this 452-piece build captures the futuristic look of McLaren’s electric race machine while keeping the build fun and accessible.
What I love about this set is the double pull-back motor — wind it up and the car absolutely launches across the floor. It adds that playful Technic energy that makes you want to test it again and again. On top of that, the working steering gives it a more realistic race-car feel during the build and when displaying it.
The build itself is satisfying without being overly complex. It’s the kind of Technic set that flows nicely and introduces clever mechanisms without dragging on too long. Once finished, the long low stance and bold McLaren colours make it a great piece for any motorsport-themed LEGO shelf.
Now that it’s retired, it’s definitely one of those Technic race cars that collectors and Formula fans will appreciate even more over time. A small set with big racing energy.

So far this is his favorite one
I went a head and bought this for my son. He’s been begging for it since I got the claim in October. He loves anything cars so he is excited building it right now. The packaging is nice and takes you through the steps of building it. It was pretty expensive but he’s worth it. He will put this on display in his room with all his other built legos.

BEST LEGO EVER!
There were a lot of weird pieces. And this was my first TECHNIC Lego. And it was the hardiest Lego I have got. And the cool thing about this Lego is that you can pull back and it will go.

Favorite lego set
Awesome set for any child. It comes with instructions and easy to build photo manual. The process is easy for those who are familiar with Legos. The quality is outstanding. Each piece fits perfectly and the assembly is smooth. The car itself has a steering function as well as pull back and release to go function.

Not just for kids!
The excitement in my teens eyes when she received this was the best! Two teenagers put this together over a few days and didn’t have a hard time at all. We were supervised that it pulls back and shoots across the room. They love the design and it’s held up being played with for a couple weeks now.

Wonderful build
Awesome build kit! My two boys worked together (without fighting) to complete this sweet car. Once together you can pull it back and let it go it takes off really well. It was a lot of fun watching the excitement they got from completing the build.

Difficult but awesome
I received this product from Influenster for my honest opinion and review. First thank you for allowing me to be part of this campaign I am grateful the set actually made it to me after 5 months of waiting. You must have patience in order to assemble this. There are so many pieces but it was awesome. A bit to much for my boys to do but with help from uncle it turned out great!

Beautiful
Car racing fans, this Lego is a great design, great for little future engineers. It moves forward by pulling it back and it’s made from durable pieces, safe for all ages 9+. Great display for my teen

Great toy
So thankful I finally received my Lego car. I had so much fun putting this thing together I honestly see it being hard for a 9yo to be able to do this without adult help just due to the tiny difference in some piece. After getting it all together it is honestly very durable and my kids absolutely love it

Rev Up the Fun
As a parent of two energetic boys, finding a toy that keeps them entertained, teaches them valuable skills, and withstands the rigors of playtime can be a challenge. The NEOM McLaren Formula E Model Race Car from LEGO Technic does all this and more, offering a thrilling combination of speed, creativity, and engineering.
This 452-piece set is more than just a toy; it’s an adventure into the fast-paced world of motorsport. Designed for kids aged 9 and up, it provides an excellent introduction to the principles of engineering with its realistic movement and mechanisms. The double pull-back function is a standout feature, allowing the car to zip across the floor at impressive speeds. It’s easy to imagine the thrill of a real Formula E race as the car zooms by, thanks to the detailed design that mirrors McLaren’s cutting-edge technology.
The steering function adds another layer of fun, enabling kids to guide the car with precision, just like a professional driver. This isn’t just a static model to be admired from a shelf; it’s an interactive experience that encourages hands-on learning and imaginative play. As they build, children are not only assembling a race car but also developing fine motor skills and an understanding of complex mechanisms.
The LEGO Builder app elevates the building process by providing step-by-step instructions in 3D. This interactive feature is perfect for younger builders, allowing them to zoom in and rotate the model, ensuring they can follow along with ease. The app also helps them track their progress, making the entire experience more engaging and rewarding.
Sized just right for small hands but substantial enough to feel satisfying, the NEOM McLaren Formula E Model measures over 12 inches long, making it an impressive addition to any collection. It’s also a fantastic gift idea for birthdays or special occasions, especially for young racing enthusiasts and budding engineers.
In short, this model race car set delivers fast-paced fun, fosters creativity, and introduces kids to the world of engineering in an accessible and enjoyable way. It’s a winner in our household, and I highly recommend it for any child who loves to build, learn, and play.
