How Many LEGO Car Sets Are There?

As of April 2025, the official LEGO Store lists 100 car-themed sets. While there are several kid-friendly options, they often lack the complexity and engagement of the best sets aimed at adults. LEGO could benefit from offering more mid-priced models in the $50-150 range to provide a better experience for children and intermediate builders. The absence of sets like the retired Aston Martin highlights a gap in LEGO's offerings, despite its commitment to inclusivity and cross-generational appeal.

What's the Most Expensive LEGO Car Set?

LEGO's most expensive car sets reach up to $449.99, with three sets currently at this price point: the Ferrari Daytona SP3, the McLaren P1, and the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. These are all LEGO Technic sets, known for their working gearboxes and moving pistons. The high cost is also driven by detailed design, technical complexity, and exclusive branding through direct collaborations with Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini. These sets represent the epitome of LEGO's partnership with luxury car brands, offering enthusiasts the most intricate and expensive LEGO car sets available.
