An interesting set is coming up for motorsport and building fans. According to initial images and leaks, the LEGO Speed Champions 77261 Ferrari 499P will be released in June 2026. With this, LEGO once again brings a current race car to the popular Speed Champions line.
The choice of the Ferrari 499P is no coincidence. This hypercar is Ferrari's modern endurance racer and plays an important role in long-distance races such as Le Mans. For motorsport fans, this is a model with a recent and recognizable background.
Based on a modern race car
The Ferrari 499P has a completely different design than a Formula 1 car or GT3 racer. The model is wider, lower, and more aerodynamic, with a closed cockpit and distinctive wheel arches.
LEGO has translated this design into a compact Speed Champions set. The initial images clearly show the lines of the real car, including the recognizable red-yellow Ferrari colors and the typical endurance appearance.
What to expect from the set
As you've come to expect from Speed Champions, it's all about recognizability and detail within a relatively small format. Think of:
- The low and wide shape of the hypercar
- Characteristic Ferrari livery
- Detailed front and rear
- Compact model that fits well with other race cars
Although it's not a Technic set, there's enough detail to make the model interesting for collectors.
Interesting for collectors
The Speed Champions line is increasingly focusing on current motorsport models. While it used to be mainly street cars, you now see more race cars appearing.
The Ferrari 499P fits perfectly into this development. For fans of endurance racing and Ferrari, this is a nice addition to a collection with F1, GT, and other race cars.
Perfect for display
Due to its compact size, this set is easy to combine with other models. Many collectors choose to display multiple Speed Champions cars together.
With a good display or stand, you get more out of the model and ensure that the details remain clearly visible.
Something to keep an eye on
The LEGO Speed Champions 77261 Ferrari 499P seems to be an interesting set for both LEGO and motorsport fans. Especially if you like race cars that are just a little different from the standard models.
