For Formula 1 and LEGO fans, another great set seems to be on its way. According to initial rumors, LEGO is working on a new Technic set based on the Aston Martin F1 Team: the LEGO Technic 42240 Aston Martin F1 AMR26. The set is expected to be released in July 2026.
Although LEGO itself has not yet officially confirmed anything, leaks and fan websites are already generating much enthusiasm among motorsport enthusiasts.
Based on the AMR26
The set is said to be based on the AMR26, Aston Martin's Formula 1 car for the 2026 season. With this, LEGO follows the same line as previous F1 Technic sets, where current cars are converted into detailed building models.
Aston Martin's car is known for its deep green color, sleek lines, and modern aerodynamics. This makes it an interesting model to rebuild in LEGO Technic.
What can we expect?
While the exact specifications are not yet known, we can make a good estimate based on previous Technic F1 sets. Consider:
- Working steering
- Detailed suspension
- Large scale (comparable to other Technic F1 models)
- Realistic aerodynamic parts
- Iconic Aston Martin colors and details
Technic sets are known for their focus on engineering and building experience. This means that this set will likely not only be beautiful to look at but also interesting to build.
Who is this set for?
The LEGO Technic 42240 Aston Martin F1 AMR26 is mainly aimed at:
- Adult LEGO builders
- Formula 1 fans
- Collectors of Technic sets
- Motorsport enthusiasts
The model will probably be less intended as a toy and more as a display model for the home or a mancave.
Perfect for an F1 collection
For many fans, collecting F1 models is an important part of the hobby. This set fits well alongside other Technic cars or LEGO F1 models.
Due to its size and details, it is a model that truly stands out when you give it a prominent place. Think of a shelf, desk, or special display.
Still to come
As with all rumors, the same applies here: until LEGO officially announces the set, it remains to be seen which details are actually correct. Nevertheless, the first signs indicate that this will be an interesting addition to the world of LEGO and Formula 1.
For fans of Aston Martin and Technic sets, this is definitely one to keep an eye on!
