LEGO Technic 42171 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance

LEGO Technic set 42171, “Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance”, represents a Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 car.

This model presents the Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance as a Technic build, with emphasis on the low racing profile, bodywork and identity of a modern Formula 1 car. Within the Technic theme, it sits among licensed vehicle models where structure and construction methods take precedence over character-based play.

This set appears in our LEGO F1 guide, which places it against the other versions.

Its build uses typical Technic parts such as beams, axles, connectors and panels to shape the chassis and exterior surfaces.

The set is aimed mainly at fans of racing cars, Formula 1 and Technic models suitable for display. In a collection of licensed vehicles, it is positioned by its Mercedes-AMG subject and by its technical building approach, clearly separate from sets built around minifigures or narrative scenes.
