LEGO Technic Peugeot 9X8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar (42156): Member Build

Member Build

No rear wing. That is the point.

One of our members built the Peugeot 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar and sent photos. The real car raced at Le Mans in 2022 and 2023 without a rear wing, which is the most striking thing about it. Peugeot generated downforce through the underbody instead. Bold call. The LEGO model replicates it exactly.

1,775 pieces. Working steering via a knob at the rear. A V6 hybrid powertrain replica with moving pistons connected to the wheels by axle. Opening bodywork panels to get at the engine. The TotalEnergies green and black livery is replicated across the bodywork.

The real car

The Peugeot 9X8 is a hybrid LMP1-class hypercar that raced at Le Mans 2022 and 2023 as a works entry for Peugeot TotalEnergies. The defining detail is the missing rear wing. Peugeot deliberately removed it, betting on underbody aeroactives to generate the same downforce. The gamble was visible from the grandstands. The LEGO model keeps the same clean tail.

This is exactly why I like putting member builds on the blog. The official images tell you what a kit is supposed to look like. Member photos show what it feels like once someone has actually sat down, opened the bags, and worked through it.

If you have just finished Peugeot 9X8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar, send over a few photos. It does not need to be a full studio setup. A clean table, a finished build, and a few notes on what stood out are enough.
