Help Build a LEGO McLaren 720S Supercar June 2 in L.A.!
Petersen Automotive Museum to host interactive build day featuring McLaren’s Head of Design Operations, Mark Roberts.
On June 2, an amazing full-scale model of the McLaren 720S supercar — made almost entirely of LEGO bricks — will be introduced to North America via a special interactive event at L.A.’s Petersen Automotive Museum. Visitors are invited to place orange LEGOs on designated parts of the McLaren, helping to reach its completion. The build day will also feature presentations and discussions with LEGO Master Builder Chris Steininger and McLaren Head of Design Operations Mark Roberts.
In addition to the June 2 build day experience, the LEGO McLaren 720S will be on display through August 19 on the second floor of the museum. LEGO and McLaren fans will be able to customize their own mini LEGO Speed Champions McLaren on an interactive iPad app next to the car. The customization app will offer the choice to add racing stripes, flames, checkered flags, license plates, backgrounds, and also add their name with an option to print a custom sticker of the car they have designed. The Discovery Center located near the full-scale car will host daily access to race ramps and build tables for museum attendees who want to build their own LEGO Speed Champions race cars. Also, LEGO Speed Champions toy sets will be available for purchase in the Petersen Store.
The Petersen Automotive Museum is located at 6060 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles. The LEGO McLaren 720S supercar interactive event will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is included with a general admission ticket.
