Lego Goes Racing with the Porsche Speed Champions Set

.
March 5, 2018

 Lego has always been a fan of the automobile. We can tell based on the vast number of car models that can be built using these cool brick toys. There are the Ferrari F40, Volkswagen Beetle, and a handful of Fords and Porsches.

In 2015, the toy maker released a Speed Champions line that lets enthusiasts not only build their dream car but add these to their collection. The line has grown to around 25 offerings of various makes and nameplates. For its latest bid, Speed Champions gives us the Porsche 911 RSR and 911 Turbo 3.0—all in one set.

You can tell Porsche’s excitement with its unveiling as the German sports car maker released a video showing the two cars having fun at the Porsche Museum. The cute video is a mix of Night at the Museum meets Toy Story, where the two toys come alive at night to play and find their real world counterparts. Yes, this could very well be what your own toys do while you’re sleeping.

But seriously, this is a great depiction of what these little Lego Speed Champions are all about. They’re not just toys. They are a great way to fuel one’s passion for cars—whether you’re an 8 year old or a middle-aged car nut that can’t seem to shake the kid from within.

The Lego Speed Champions Porsche set comes with the 911 RSR, the 911 Turbo 3.0, a pit wall, and a lap timer.
