Peugeot unveils a LEGO version of its 9X8

Peugeot presented a LEGO version of its Hypercar on the sidelines of the 6 Hours of Portimão.

Peugeot presented a LEGO version of its Hypercar on the sidelines of the 6 Hours of Portimão. The design teams from the LEGO Group and Peugeot Sport have created an accurate 1:10 scale version of the 9X8. 

The 7-wheel drive hypercar's 4-speed electric transmission has been reproduced to exact scale in this new model, which also sports the prototype's unique doors, low-emission hybrid powertrain system, powerful suspension and elegant profile. Details like the V6 engine and glow-in-the-dark light elements have also been included. 

« Our two brands have come together to create a product that celebrates a new era of hybrid racing and engineering, explains Kasper René Hansen, designer of the LEGO group about this creation composed of 1 pieces. Recreating the shapes and details of such an elegant car using LEGO Technic elements was not easy, but it was an honor to work so creatively with the Peugeot TotalEnergies team on this project and I am proud that together we were able to build the hypercar for real in LEGO Technic form. »

This latest addition to the LEGO Technic series measures over 13cm high, 22cm wide and 50cm long when fully constructed. The price is set at 199,99 euros.
