With the new season already started, the partnership between M Motorsport and LEGO® created a new model set of the Speed Champions series that will attract interest. The new arrival will be a source of enthusiasm for the younger friends of motor sport from nine years old and above, while at the same time offering an authentic construction and game experience for the more mature collectors. With 676 tracks in total, this set offers detailed illustration of the two models enabling fans of assembly games to create not one but two current BMW M Motorsport racing cars: BMW M Hybrid V8 and BMW M4 GT3. These two racing cars are the peak of BMW M Motorsport’s spear in races such as Le Mans’ 24 hours to be held on the weekend 15 and 16 June 2024. The new miniatures of the Speed Champions series stand out as carefully constructed copies of original cars. Original design features include BMW M Motorsport’s characteristic colors, proposed air diffusers, visually impressive exhaust endings and impressive spoilers, as well as an interior crafted with a lot of attention to detail. In addition, the ceilings of the two miniatures can be removed to enable drivers’ figures included in the set to be placed in the corresponding cockpits. The setting is therefore ready for exciting wheel racing in children’s rooms at all lengths and backs of the Earth.
