Launch

Initially launched on March 1, 2015 LEGO Speed Champions brought real cars into the hands of kids and fans of all ages. For this initial year the LEGO Group announced a partnership with Ferrari, McLaren, and Porsche. As part of the marketing campaign, The Lego Group released six sets based on racing cars. Each set featured different racing cars such as Ferrari F14 T, McLaren P1 , and Porsche 918. The sets were designed primarily for children 7 to 14 years old.

6-Studs Wide 2015-2019

LEGO Speed Champions were 6-studs wide between the years of 2015 and 2019. This scale matched the size and scale of most LEGO building sets, including LEGO City and LEGO modular sets. Builders with just one city or modular set or collectors with full basement city layouts found these vehicles to be the perfect addition to their displays. Kits cost around $14.99 and had 150-200 pieces.

8-Studs Wide 2020-Present

In 2020 LEGO Speed Champions surprised builders and collectors by changing the size to vehicles that were 8-studs wide. This new size allowed for better proportions, realism, and detail, and they too were an immediate hit.

With the wider vehicle size there was now room for two minifigs to sit side by side instead of just one as in the 6-stud wide vehicles.

LEGO was clear that this change was also an attempt to attract more adult collectors.

With the larger size the number of parts nearly doubled, with 250-350 parts.

The price has more than doubled too, going from $19.99 in 2020 up to $45.99 or more currently.
