Top 5: Favourite current Lego car sets

You don’t have to be a kid to get a kick from Lego, and the Danish icon has made sure to cater to all ages, skill levels, interests and budgets.

There have been hundreds of car sets over the years, ranging from classics to racers to hypercars, but some of them come and go quicker than a teenage relationship while others are sold out for literal years at a time.

Being the car buffs and big kids at heart we (all) are, here are five of our favourite Lego car sets – in no particular order – you can buy right now.

Starting things off nice and simply is the soon-to-be-retired Pagani Utopia kit which features as part of the Speed Champions collection.

Intended for builders aged nine and up, this 249-piece set brings Pagani’s latest hypercar to the masses with a price of $32.99 and all of the major details present, including the brown leather interior and a Pagani test pilot.

A new addition to the Technic portfolio is the very yellow Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a 732-piece kit priced a whisker under $100.

One of the more accurate recreations we’ve seen, the Lego ‘Vette has functional steering, a moving V8 engine, differential, opening doors, bonnet and frunk.

Massively steeping up the complexity, price point and target audience is the $399.99 Technic Mercedes-Benz G 500 Professional Line.

Intended for ages 18 and up, this kit comprises 2891 intricate pieces that cover everything from the body and chassis to working suspension, steering, the straight-six engine, transmission, doors, bonnet and two locking differentials.

This kit has been around for a while now, but we can confirm from personal experience it’s one of the best thanks to its accuracy, versatility and viable $259.99 price tag.

Part of the Icons collection and comprising 1458 pieces, this 18-plus kit allows you to choose your own adventure with instructions and parts for both a classic 911 Turbo and/or the original 911 Targa, including the period correct interior, air-cooled engine and working steering.

One of the dearest and most complex kits in the entire Technic portfolio is the $699.99 Ferrari Daytona SP3 which comes with just about every conceivable feature besides actual driveability.

With 3778 parts included in the box, you’ll have to build the platform, body, interior, engine (with 12 moving pistons), transmission, suspension and butterfly doors to end up with one of the most striking and no-doubt collectable Lego sets ever made.
