LEGO Technic 42236 Custom Garage Ford Mustang GT Car Officially Revealed | August 2026

The LEGO Group have officially revealed 42236 Custom Garage Ford Mustang GT Car, introducing a more creative, customisation-focused twist to the ever-expanding LEGO Technic vehicle lineup. Releasing on the 1st of August 2026, 42236 is likely part of a brand new 'Custom Garage' subtheme, giving builders multiple ways to redesign this brick-built Ford Mustang GT car from 973 pieces, retailing for $99.99 / €89.99 / £79.99

The 10+ model recreates another version of the iconic American muscle car in brick-built LEGO form, measuring over 3.5 inches (9 cm) high, 10.5 inches (27 cm) long and 5 inches (13 cm) wide. Core LEGO Technic features are included, such as the standard front wheel steering mechanism, functional doors to reveal a basic interior layout and front-mounted 8-cylinder piston engine with moving parts that operate as the vehicle moves.

But the highlight of the August 2026 model is the customisability and personality that we've already alluded to. Two core designs/sets of bodywork pieces are included in 42236: a stylish paintwork option and a graffiti-inspired version. However, the wonderful thing about LEGO is that elements from both designs can be mixed to create a completely unique, colourful look for the LEGO Mustang.

In total, eight different brick-built details of the car can be swapped out, including the hood, front splitter, the doors, the roof panels and the spoilers. Obviously, a lot of stickers are included for these unique bodywork designs, but that once again encourages more customisability and uniqueness compared to other LEGO Technic cars. And the American beast is likely the first of many Custom Garage LEGO sets, with it already being available for pre-order ahead of its summer release.
