LONDON: Here’s a Christmas gift idea for the small ‘uns. Get him a McLaren P1 toy car.
McLaren Automotive continues its McLaren P1 fifth anniversary celebrations with the announcement of an alternative-fuelled version, powered purely by feet attached to a human motor aged less than three years old. At least that’s the manufacturer’s recommendation.
The “foot-to-floor” edition can be bought online from December priced at £35.99 (RM200) and be delivered in time for Christmas. It is the latest addition to a wide range of licensed models and products available long after all 375 full-size examples of the P1 were sold.
The McLaren P1 toy car collection also includes the P1 electric Ride-On and the P1 Tecnomodel collectible, the latter of which is likely to appeal to buyers who are older than the three years old target group of the “foot-to-floor”.
Other licensed P1 products include die-cast models from AutoArt, TSM, Kyosho, Motormax, Kinsmart and Hot Wheels; resin models from Amalgam, TSM and Tecnomodel and Scalextric slot cars. An Airfix “Quick Build” model is also available, as are radio-controlled models from New Bright, Rastar and Maisto.
A short video has been released illustrating the differences between the four options of McLaren P1 power.
