One of the few unlicensed successful LEGO themes is expanding further as we now have more information about one of the five sets releasing for the LEGO Speed Champions theme. This is a double car pack of 76918 McLaren F1 LM & McLaren Solus GT retailing for $44.99. Along with three other sets (76917 is releasing on 1st January 2023), 76918 will release on 1st March 2023.
The build of both cars currently have little information but, like with all sets releasing next year, they'll carry on being eight studs wide. It'll also most likely just include two generic Minifigures, one for each car, in a McLaren-style uniform that will match the respective car colours.
The McLaren F1 LM is a track-oriented iteration of previous McLaren F1 cars with the supercar containing three seats. The driver's seat, similar to an F1 car, is right in the centre giving a driver that race-like feeling and the LEGO implementation will hopefully be the same. The LEGO version of the F1 LM will most likely be either Orange or grey with a fully blacked spoiler.
The second car meanwhile, the McLaren Solus GT, is a limited-produced track-only hype car with interesting curves that have produced a beautiful car. It'll be interesting to see how LEGO create these curves in brick-built form and it may mean there's less seating space for the driver. This car will also most likely be white with some hints of black.
