Sportscars and supercars should always push you to the future. And it looks like the future is right where fall_in_bricks landed. The Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo started in a video game before it made its way to LEGO, but it is headed for space with this cyber-formula remake.
The builder also rebuilds the Speed Champions source in robot mode. If the future of racing involves transformers, I want to live in fall_in_bricks’ world.
No partnership has been more significant for LEGO in 2025 than Formula 1. LEGO’s line of F1 cars are among the best Speed Champions sets ever, and putting the F1 drivers in life-size brick-built cars at the Miami Grand Prix caused a viral sensation. The latest piece of news may top even those, though: next year, LEGO is going racing in real life! In a partnership with the all-female feeder series known as F1 Academy, the newly formed LEGO Racing is debuting car number 32 in LEGO colourways, with Dutch racing driver Esmee Kosterman behind the wheel.
And, of course, you will be able to buy a LEGO version of the car from next March 1. 77258 Speed Champions F1 Academy Car fits in the same bracket as other F1 sets in size and price, albeit with a reduced 201 pieces. (Hey, funding an F1 Academy drive won’t come cheap!) On a serious note: barely a week goes by that we’re not talking about LEGO tying in with some brand or a new product activation. And yes, this is fundamentally a move driven to make money for both parties. But it would’ve been easy to just produce a set and be done with it; it’s nice to see LEGO going the extra mile and trying to make a positive difference in the sport.

Speed cameras have taken over most European metropolitans at this point, but William van Beek may have found the answer: a Mini Cooper may be too short for the cameras to catch a good picture! A wonderful little LEGO vignette, just like other pieces of art, can offer a great commentary for what we see in the world around us.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie was an on again/off again store for endurance racing. But, with a successful completion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans this month, SFH_Bricks has made sure the Valkyrie will live in a permanent “on” status. With a mix of bright-green, dark-green and lime, SFH brings the Valkyrie to life in Speed Champions scale. Now we just need to hear the 12-cylinder engine howl.
March is here, and with it comes a brand new wave of LEGO sets. While there’s a ton of sets that just hit store shelves across the board, we’ve got some common threads with Formula 1 builds appearing in the Speed Champions, Technic, and LEGO Icons themes. And don’t forget the debut of LEGO Ninjago 71837 NINJAGO City Workshops, the latest in the multi-year Ninjago City collection. We touch on all our favorites below, but if you want to see everything in the new catalog, head on over to the LEGO website (US | CAN | UK).
Check out our favorite sets in the March wave below!
Next week, the Formula One teams will emerge from their bases and hit the track for the first time in almost three months, with pre-season testing preceding the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. What better time, then, for LEGO to launch not one, not two, not even three – but 10 (yes, count them, ten!) F1 cars than on March 1st? These form part of a wider tie-in between the Danish brick company and the world’s premier motorsport series. All ten current constructors are represented, and with part counts ranging between 242 and 275, they can be pre-ordered now with an RRP of US $26.99 | CAN $34.99 | UK £22.99 each. On the surface, they all appear very similar – but are they? Will one stand out to take the chequered flag ahead of all the others? Or will the racing margins be too tight to call a winner? Read on as we build all 10 to find out!

Debuting at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2024, LEGO has treated us to a wealth of new racing sets ready to speed onto store shelves in 2025. The array of F1 sets operates almost like a subtheme, similar to 2024’s LEGO Space sets, showing up in LEGO City, Speed Champions, collectible blind boxes, and even a Duplo set. With 17 sets in total releasing in the first quarter of 2025 (and collectible blind box cars coming later on in May), it’s a good time to be a racing and building fan. We’ll cover the highlights of this massive set announcement below, but be sure to check the dedicated LEGO Formula 1 webpage for all the new cars and supporting sets coming out next year.

It’s said it always rains for Le Mans, and this LEGO build by Sybrin doesn’t disappoint! Each car – with a swoosh and a roar of the engine – kicks up a huge spray of trans-clear plates and 2×2 arches behind it as it tears down the track. My favorite part of this is that the natural shininess of the LEGO tiles in the road makes it look like the raceway is rain-slicked and shiny! Sybrin also did a great job with those custom-made Speed Champions style race cars too; the closest one is a Ferrari AF Corsa #50 , and the far car is Toyota Gazoo’s #7. So of Corsa we were going to make a big hulla-gazoo about this!
The water effects in the diorama are entirely brick-built, from the raindrops splashing onto the pavement to the rooster tails behind the roaring hyper-cars.
Joao Nunes is sharing some pictures of his latest plastic kit. The painting is done, he’s got the brick separator and scalpel ready, and all that’s left to do is… Hang on. We’re confusing our LEGO bricks with our Airfix here! This is a very convincing facsimile of a Tamiya-style model, where instead of simply clicking bricks together, you need to painstakingly cut and paint each piece before gluing it all together. (With Kragle, presumably.) To the purist, that might sound like a nightmare – but fear not, no LEGO pieces were harmed in making this tableau. Even the box and sticker sheet are as good as new!
These days, barely a month goes by without new LEGO sets becoming available. Some have more than others, and March is a bumper month for new releases! They cover a wide range of subject matter, age ranges and price points. We’ve picked out some of the most interesting ones, including some we’ve already reviewed. We can’t cover everything, though. Check out our reviews archive for our thoughts on sets that we couldn’t include here. And you can always see every new set over at LEGO.com, too (US | CAN | UK).
What’s better than one LEGO Speed Champions car? Two LEGO Speed Champions cars! The latest dual-pack to be added to the theme is 76922 BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8, with 676 pieces. Retailing for US $44.99 | CAN $59.99 | UK £44.99, and available from March 1st, this dual-pack depicts two racers from the same manufacturer, but very different racing backgrounds. Is this race going to be a one-sided affair, or will they both win our hearts? You’ll have to read our review to find out!

What do you get if you cross a Group B rally car with one of the craziest car stunt series on the internet, and throw in some LEGO bricks for good measure?

Are you brave enough to get behind the wheel? Hop in and read our review – let’s find out!
