LEGO's Technic racing theme new product "42156 Peugeot 9X8 Hypercar" recently officially announced detailed product information! It is expected to be released on May 1, 2023.
April 17, 2023 Update:
This LEGO "Peugeot 9X8 Hypercar" is composed of a total of 1775 pieces, built at a 1/10 scale, reaching an impressive length of 50 cm and a height of 13 cm. The overall design follows the real Peugeot 9X8's black and gray main color scheme, accented with eye-catching fluorescent green on the top of the cockpit and the front bumper, giving it a strong futuristic feel. Stickers for Peugeot, 93, Michelin Bibendum, and TotalEnergies can be seen throughout. The Peugeot (Lion) LOGO is truly super cool! Features such as the extremely low chassis, aerodynamic body, the iconic "lion claw" elements, and the bold shark fin spoiler are also well-replicated.
This model will feature front-wheel steering, opening doors, a suspension system specifically designed for this vehicle, a V6 engine with movable pistons, and a brick-built electric motor, which is also highly anticipated. It's worth noting that the straight bar pieces representing the headlights even have a glow-in-the-dark effect!
