Description
About this set
Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance Pull-Back is a 240-piece LEGO Technic race car for young builders. It’s styled after the real Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 car with authentic livery details, and pull-back action sends it zooming across the floor once it’s built. It’s a friendly introduction to Technic building, with real racing looks and simple action.
Rated 7+, it suits kids who love racing. Parents can build the larger Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance set (42171), sold separately, at the same time for a shared project. It’s retired, so new sealed copies are getting harder to find.
Highlights
- Pull-back action sends the car racing
- Livery inspired by the real Mercedes F1 car
- Pairs with the adult set 42171, sold separately
