2020 LEGO Speed Champions Sets Coming!

Yesterday, we talked about the upcoming LEGO Technic Top Gear set, but that’s not the only car-related news for LEGO fans. LEGO Speed Champions is expanding with several new sets, including sets representing new brands. Let’s take a look.

Two of the new brands we know about already are Jaguar and Lamborghini, and there will be more coming. We talked about the Jaguar previously, and below I have included images of the Lamborghini as well. A notable feature of these vehicles is that they are 8-stud wide. All the previous LEGO Speed Champions sets are 6-stud wide, so this is a pretty significant change. In fact, LEGO advertises them as they are now are now 25% bigger than the previous cars. While these new vehicles won’t fit as well in LEGO City settings, they are more accurate representations of the original supercars. If you haven’t been collecting LEGO Speed Champions, but you would like to, this might be a good time to get into the hobby. And those of you who have been collecting them already, could consider these 8-stud wide vehicles as LEGO Speed Champions 2.0.

    8 stud wide looks better in my opinion. It’s more accurate. But then they don’t fit on city streets. I suppose most people collect these separate from city, so it shouldn’t matter too much.

    Pictures of other sets are also available. City, Friends, Creator, Ninjago, Technic, Star Wars is what I have seen so far.

      I like the new Technic sets. And Ninjago and Star Wars are cool too. An orange x-wing? Bring it on!

        I like the Technic sets too. I collect the pull-back racers, and they are particularly good this year. 🙂

    There is also an Audi and a Ferrari announced just now: https://brickset.com/article/47021

    I love the Ferrari!

      Oh yeah, just saw it. The Audi looks very blocky, though…

    With the eight stud wide, they can put two minifigs next to each other. That’s a big improvement. They look out of place in City, but I mean how often do you see racecars going down on city streets?

    • admin November 19, 2019, 4:15 PM

      That’s a good point. Although some of the Speed Champions sets were toned down enough to be street cars. Especially the classic cars.

  • I Like Giraffes November 19, 2019, 3:20 PM

    I’m tempted to start a new collection. I like the Ferrari and the Jaguars. Or should I get all four?

    And yes, I like giraffes! 😀

      Hm… not an easy decision, but if you want to get into collecting them, this is definitely the time.
