Toy giants LEGO have announced the launch a new car product line – LEGO Speed Champions – that will be available from March 2015. They have announced their partnership with three automobile manufacturers; Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche resulting in a new, high-speed building experience geared towards petrolheads and avid builders alike.
There will be seven different car inspired LEGO sets available, ensuring lots of racing and tyre squealing action from children’s rooms across the country (and I suspect in a few dads rooms too).
Included in the range is a large red Ferrari – together with the Ferrari F14 T Racing car. What’s more, a McLaren Mercedes pit stop set will also be available, featuring the McLaren Mercedes MP4-29 as well as the home stretch with lights function and two Porsche cars – the 911 RSR and 911 GT3 R Hybrid. Also four sets of stand-alone vehicles wait to hit the track. “Whether it is a racing car or road car – the new brick built car models will get the hearts of five- to eleven-year old as well as grown up engine fans beating faster. “Say LEGO.
They continue “the LEGO Speed Champions series of vehicles is particularly amazing thanks to its many authentic details: the LEGO mini-figures are wearing racing car overalls, there is a winner’s cup, flags and detailed tools – inspired by their big role models Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche whether you are a passionate builder or a keen car fan, there is an exciting offer. “
