Lego Speed Champions adds one of the most iconic cars from the start of the Fast and Furious franchise. The new kit will include character busts of Paul Walker, Brian O’Conner, and a rolling representation of his famous R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec. Through nine films, R34 O’Conner from 2 Fast 2 Furious perhaps overshadowed by the famous A80 Supra from the first film.
Thankfully, the kit looks to be respectful of the source material, and the famous blue-striped livery is instantly recognizable to fans of the franchise. Despite the small size of the Speed Champions builds, Lego doesn’t miss out on some of the other recognizable themes of the cars. A large blue rear wing is attached to the rear, with a blue Toyo Tire sticker found affixed above the film’s corresponding Florida license plate.
As well as the smaller and cheaper R34 kit, Lego plans to add the Technic kit from the 1578-hp Bugatti Bolide, minus the horsepower of course. those kits will go on sale first this year and will include 905 pieces for $49.99. It is three inches high, 12 inches long, and five inches wide. Engineering Kits are meant to help introduce kids to the world of engineering, but beyond that, they’re pretty cool.
Bugatti only built 40 track-only versions of the Bolide, costing around $5 million each. Plus, Bugatti sold the Bolide and Chiron earlier in the year. Assuming you didn’t star in the Fast and Furious franchise and therefore couldn’t afford the $5 million car that sold out, $50 for a long legged example complete with moving pistons seems as close as we can all get. Bolide.
