Top LEGO Car Sets of 2025 Revealed

If you're a LEGO newcomer, particularly an adult eager to dive into this engaging hobby, starting with one of the car replicas is a smart move. The latest LEGO car sets are a perfect blend of various building techniques, offering a comprehensive introduction to the LEGO world. These models typically feature a bit of everything: the robust Technic system for the car's frame, an intricate network of rods, studs, and gears for the steering mechanism, and traditional bricks for the body and finish. This mix provides a crash course in LEGO's fundamental building techniques, showcasing the innovative methods the company has popularized over the past decade.

One of the great advantages of LEGO car sets is that they not only look impressive but also function well. These models are built to last and come with practical features such as steering, gear shifts, suspension, retractable headlights, and moving parts. These features make the builds not just visually appealing but also interactive. If you're looking to explore beyond LEGO, many of the best alternatives in the market also include working features, enhancing your building experience.

How Many LEGO Car Sets Are There?

As of April 2025, the LEGO Store lists 100 car-themed sets. While there are numerous kid-friendly options, most are simple builds that don't challenge or engage beyond novice levels. LEGO could benefit from introducing more mid-priced sets in the $50-150 range, offering a better experience for children and intermediate builders. Sets like the retired Aston Martin, which are in short supply, exemplify what LEGO could do to maintain its cross-generational appeal without being cost-prohibitive.

What's the Most Expensive LEGO Car Set?

The most expensive LEGO car sets can reach up to $449.99, with three sets currently at this price point: the Ferrari Daytona SP3, the McLaren P1, and the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. All are part of the LEGO Technic series, featuring intricate designs and working mechanisms like gearboxes and moving pistons. The high cost is also driven by exclusive branding and detailed collaboration with luxury car brands, ensuring the models accurately reflect their real-life counterparts.
