Top LEGO Car Sets of 2025 Revealed - News

For any adult new to the world of LEGO, diving into the hobby can be both exciting and a bit daunting. But fear not, as one of the best entry points for beginners is the fascinating world of LEGO car replicas. The newest LEGO car sets offer a perfect blend of various building techniques, incorporating elements from the Technic series for the car's frame, intricate systems of rods, studs, and gears for steering mechanisms, and traditional bricks for the body and exterior finish. These sets serve as an excellent introduction to the wide array of LEGO building fundamentals, showcasing the innovative techniques that have made LEGO a household name over the last decade.

One of the greatest advantages of building LEGO vehicles is the tangible result you end up with – a fully functional model. These sets are not only durable but come packed with practical features such as steering, gear shifts, suspension systems, retractable headlights, and other moving parts. This functionality extends beyond LEGO as well; many of the top LEGO alternatives also boast impressive working features, making them a great next step for enthusiasts.

Whether your passion lies with classic cars from bygone eras or iconic vehicles from blockbuster films (like the 1966 Adam West-inspired Batmobile), IGN has curated a list of the best LEGO car sets available in 2025 to suit your interests.

How Many LEGO Car Sets Are There?

As of April 2025, the official LEGO Store lists 100 car-themed sets. While there are numerous kid-friendly options, the more advanced and engaging sets are often priced higher, aimed at adult enthusiasts. LEGO could benefit from introducing more mid-priced models in the $50-150 range to cater to children and intermediate builders, offering a more accessible entry point into the hobby. The retired Aston Martin set is a prime example of what's missing in the current lineup.

What's the Most Expensive LEGO Car Set?

While LEGO's most extravagant sets can reach nearly $1,000, the priciest car sets top out at $449.99. Three sets currently hold this distinction: the Ferrari Daytona SP3, the McLaren P1, and the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. All are part of the LEGO Technic series, featuring complex mechanisms like working gearboxes and moving pistons. The high cost is also driven by meticulous attention to detail and exclusive branding, resulting from direct collaborations with Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini. These sets are the epitome of luxury and technical prowess in the LEGO car set market.
