LEGO Speed Champions Rumoured January 2026 Sets

The LEGO Speed Champions theme has had a busy year, with March alone featuring the release of a total of 10 Formula 1-inspired sets. In 2026, however, the theme will move away from F1 and return to its usual mix of branded cars along with even more movie cars. And this time, it's not just movie cars based on Fast & Furious, like last year's 77241 2 Fast 2 Furious Honda S2000, but two brand-new franchises to the theme...

77252 TBC LEGO Speed Champions

The first entry on this list is, unfortunately, the most mysterious, with the only information known so far being that the set number 77252 will be released on the 1st of January 2026. Interestingly, however, this mysterious set is branded as a 10+ model, unlike the other five sets, which are all aimed at builders aged 9 and older.

77253 Bugatti Vision GT Hyper Sports Car

77253 brings the sleek and futuristic Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo to brick-built LEGO form. The real car combines a more modern, trendy design with classic Bugatti elements, such as the horseshoe-shaped grille and a powerful W16 engine. The LEGO version will capture these elements in the usual eight-stud wide form, retailing for $27.99 / €26.99 / £22.99.

77254 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale Sports Car

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale combines hybrid power with track-oriented performance to create, what the Italian manufacturer is calling, "the most efficient aerodynamic performance of any Ferrari road car". Now this very special Sports Car will be appearing in brick-built LEGO form on the 1st of January 2026, most likely in the signature Ferrari red colour scheme.

Set Name - Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale Sports Car

Set Number - 77254

Age Range - 9+

77255 Lightning McQueen

For the first time ever, Disney Pixar's Cars franchise will be appearing in the LEGO Speed Champions theme with an eight-stud wide recreation of Lightning McQueen. The iconic racing character has already appeared in brick-built LEGO form before, particularly with 2011's 8484 Ultimate Build Lightning McQueen. That build was 10 studs wide, a lot less sleek in design and didn't get the proportions exactly right, so expect a much more detailed and updated build in 2026.

Set Name - Lightning McQueen

Set Number - 77255

Age Range - 9+

Price - $27.99 / €26.99 / £22.99

77256 Back to the Future: The DeLorean

The other movie car, meanwhile, takes us for a ride through time with 77256 Back to the Future: The DeLorean. Just like 77255 Lightning McQueen, the DeLorean has already appeared in brick-built LEGO form, most recently as a display-worthy LEGO Icons model of 10300 Back to the Future Time Machine. In 2026, however, the DeLorean will be completely Minifigure scale, including the vehicle's iconic time-travelling features.

77257 McLaren W1

Last but not least is another sleek, futuristic supercar from one of the world's most well-known manufacturers. 77257 McLaren W1 retails for $27.99 / €26.99 / £22.99 and recreates some of the vehicle's most iconic and aggressive features, which makes it the fastest-accelerating, fastest-lapping, road-legal McLaren ever produced.
