At the start of a new season in motorsport, the collaboration between BMW M Motorsport and toy manufacturer LEGO has produced a new Speed Champions set aimed at capturing the imagination. This new release will fuel enthusiasm among younger motorsports fans aged nine and up, as well as offering an authentic build and play experience for more mature collectors.
With 676 pieces in total, this detailed set allows builders to recreate not one, but two current BMW M Motorsport racing cars: the BMW M Hybrid V8 and the BMW M4 GT3. These two competition vehicles spearhead BMW M Motorsport’s bid for glory at events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 15 and 16, 2024.
The Speed Champions series miniatures stand out for being carefully constructed replicas of the original vehicles. Authentic design features include the unique design of the BMW M Motorsport livery, prominent aerodynamic diffuser elements, visually striking exhaust outlets and eye-catching spoilers, as well as an interior designed with great attention to detail. Additionally, the roofs of both miniatures can be removed to allow the pilot figures included in the set to be inserted into their respective cockpits. The stage is set for exciting wheel-to-wheel racing in children’s bedrooms around the world.
Detailed replicas for racing fans of all ages.
Driven by the vision of reproducing iconic racing cars with LEGO® bricks, the LEGO Speed Champions series has been bringing smiles to car fans and collectors of all ages for almost ten years. The new model set bringing together the BMW M Hybrid V8 and the BMW M4 GT3 fits into this tradition and allows fans to experience the allure of motorsport and the engineering expertise of BMW M.
The latest addition to the LEGO Speed Champions series will spark a passion for racing among builders. Once completed, these two exceptionally seductive models will enrich both collectors’ showcases and the starting blocks for exciting bedroom races. The BMW M Hybrid V8 / BMW M4 GT3 set will go on sale soon in the various Latin American markets.
BMW M Motorsport: back on the big stage.
BMW M Motorsport celebrates the long-awaited return to international prototype racing with the BMW M Hybrid V8. The electrified V8 prototype passed its first test of strength last season in the prestigious GTP category of the IMSA series, and this year it will also compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC). Exactly 25 years after the BMW V12 LMR took the famous overall victory at Le Mans, the launch of the BMW M Hybrid V8 in the legendary endurance classic opens a new chapter in the history of BMW brand prototype racing.
BMW M Team WRT will also enter the BMW M4 GT3 in FIA WEC races next season. This means that BMW M Motorsport will also be represented in another category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans: while the two BMW M Hybrid V8s will battle it out in the hypercar category at Le Mans, a pair of BMW M4 GT3 racers will line up in the class.
