- Lego has released a new 1466-piece Technic set of the 2022 Ford GT, complete with independent suspension at each corner and a moving V-6 engine.
- The set will retail for $119.99 when it goes on sale in March.
- Other newly announced Lego Technic sets include a Bugatti Bolide and a NASCAR Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro Stock Car, with the cheaper Speed Champions series getting a whole new lineup.
Not just anyone can purchase a Ford GT. Your local dealer doesn’t carry them, they cost half a million dollars, and you need permission from the company’s top brass to get one. Plus, after announcing a seemingly endless slew of special editions, Ford is wrapping production on the GT. Lego is stepping in with a 1/12-scale model to help the vast majority of us who don’t tick all those boxes: now we can at least own a replica of the GT.
As the starring set for 2023, the Lego version of the GT measures in at 3.5 inches tall, 15.0 inches long, and 7.0 inches wide, and is made up of an impressive 1466 pieces. As part of the Technic series, the GT features rear-wheel drive, a moving V-6 engine, independent suspension at all four wheels, front-axle steering, a moving spoiler, and a hood and doors that open.
The Bugatti Bolide has also gotten the Technic treatment from Lego. It went on sale with the new year, while the third Technic set of the year is a NASCAR Next Gen Camaro Stock Car, which, along with the Ford GT, will go on sale in March.
The $119.99 retail price of the Ford GT set may be a rounding error in comparison to the price of the actual car, but in terms of buildable toys/displays, it is still a bit pricey. For those enthusiasts who may be seeking smaller and cheaper options, Lego’s Speed Champions series has a fresh new lineup for 2023. Paul Walker’s R34 GT-R from 2 Fast 2 Furious can be ordered now, while a Pagani Utopia hypercar, a Ferrari 812 Competizione, and a Porsche 963 LMDh racer will all be available in March. Finally, the McLaren F1 LM will be available as part of a set that includes the limited production track weapon Solus GT.
