Ayrton Senna's famous Formula 1 McLaren racer receives the Lego treatment

The Formula 1 season may be on hiatus just for now for the winter, but at Lego, new race cars are almost ready to roll out.

At the top of any committed race fan’s list would likely be the McLaren MP4/4. That’s because this model is also called the “Ayrton Senna set.” So it’s really that connection that makes the car — and the colorful, detailed Senna mini figure that’s included — such a nifty memento for those who followed the Brazilian’s fabulous, tragic career.

The 1988 racer, ranked as one of the most successful F1 race cars of all time. is to become available as a Lego kit on March 1, priced at $80.

Also scheduled for launch next month are a pair of Lego Speed Champions sets created in collaboration with McLaren Racing and BMW, and two Lego Technic cars from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team.
