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 tend to be simpler and less engaging for anyone beyond beginners. LEGO could benefit from introducing more mid-priced models in the $50-150 range, which would offer a great building experience for children and intermediate builders without breaking the bank. Sets like the retired Aston Martin are missed opportunities in this regard, as LEGO's essence is about accessibility and cross-generational appeal.

What's the Most Expensive LEGO Car Set?

The most expensive LEGO car sets currently on the market are priced at $449.99 each. These include the Ferrari Daytona SP3, McLaren P1, and Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, all part of the LEGO Technic series known for their intricate designs and functional elements like gearboxes and moving pistons. The high cost is also driven by detailed craftsmanship and exclusive branding, as LEGO collaborates directly with these luxury car brands to ensure authenticity.
