Take on Le Mans With Lego Technic's Peugeot 9X8 Hybrid Hypercar

Lego Technic on Friday revealed its newest set: a 1:10 scale version of Peugeot's 9X8 Hybrid Hypercar set to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.

The 1775-piece model measures 5 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 19.5 inches long. It was built through a collaboration between Lego and Peugeot Sport, and from photos it seems they've done a fantastic job replicating the car's design ethos as a sleek, futuristic racer. We're especially fond of the glow-in-the-dark lighting elements up front, giving the Lego Technic 9X8 a more realistic vibe.

It's not just the design Lego got right. The building block company also managed to fit a scale version of the V-6 engine sending power to the rear wheels, along with a replica of the electric motor sending power to the front wheels (though there's no actual battery power, unfortunately).
