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.
