Top LEGO Car Sets of 2025 Revealed

For any LEGO newcomer, especially adults seeking an entry point into this captivating hobby, diving into the world of LEGO car replicas is an excellent choice. The latest LEGO car models are a perfect blend of various LEGO elements, offering a comprehensive introduction to LEGO's building techniques.

How Many LEGO Car Sets Are There?

As of April 2025, the LEGO Store offers 100 car-themed sets. While many cater to younger builders, the more complex and engaging sets are often priced higher. LEGO could benefit from introducing more mid-priced models in the $50-150 range to appeal 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 offers sets that can reach nearly $1,000, the most expensive car sets top out at $449.99. Three sets currently hold this price point: the Ferrari Daytona SP3, McLaren P1, and Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, all from the LEGO Technic series. These sets feature working gearboxes and moving pistons, reflecting their high level of detail and exclusive branding through collaborations with luxury car manufacturers.
