No matter how old you are, LEGO is always going to be a sound purchase. However, if you peruse the current crop of big LEGO cars, they’re almost always worth over £100 and take a fair bit of experience to properly build. Sometimes a smaller, cheaper set is what’s required. That’s exactly what =LEGO Speed Champions offer.
These sets are relatively inexpensive (most retail for less than £20) and are pretty faithful replicas of real-life cars. Obviously, the blocky nature of LEGO means they won’t be as realistic as other models, but it’s LEGO after all.
We’ve chosen our favourite Speed Champion cars currently on sale so you can pick the best LEGO car that doesn’t put you into an unarranged overdraft.
The best LEGO Speed Champions sets
LEGO 76895 Speed Champions Ferrari F8 Tributo
A modern LEGO Ferrari
Price: RRP £32.16 | VIEW OFFER
Where better to start than with a LEGO Ferrari, and a fantastic one at that. The F8 Tributo has impressed us a lot since its introduction and now it comes in LEGO form. LEGO has managed to make this small model look curved and aerodynamic, impressive for a company that makes mainly oblong blocks.
LEGO 76900 Speed Champions Koenigsegg Jesko
LEGO hyper car
Price: RRP £13.99 | VIEW OFFER
If you’re nine and speed comes above literally everything else in a car, a Koenigsegg Jesko is probably your dream car. Capable of over 300 mph thanks to 1600 bhp (the real car, not this LEGO model), this model is one cool hyper car. The set contains 280 pieces and will make them the envy of any child petrolhead.
LEGO 76901 Speed Champions Toyota GR Supra
LEGO for the drifters
Price: RRP £14.63 | VIEW OFFER
Fan of the Toyota GR Supra but don’t like the near £50,000 asking price for even the most basic model? Well, you’re in luck, the BMW-based sports car is now available in LEGO form. It comes with 299 pieces, swappable wheel trims and comes in a fantastic yellow colour. There’s enough room for two Minifigures too.

Price: RRP £18.95 | VIEW OFFER
