How Many LEGO Car Sets Are There?

As of April 2025, the official LEGO Store lists 100 car-themed sets. While there are many kid-friendly options, most of these are simple and less engaging for intermediate builders. LEGO could benefit from offering more mid-priced models in the $50-150 range, providing a better experience for children and those new to building. Sets like the retired Aston Martin are missed opportunities for more accessible, yet engaging builds.

What's the Most Expensive LEGO Car Set?

LEGO's most expensive sets can cost nearly $1,000, but car sets top out at $449.99. Three sets currently reach this price: the Ferrari Daytona SP3, McLaren P1, and Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. All are LEGO Technic sets with intricate designs, technical complexity, and exclusive branding from collaborations with Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini. These sets are the epitome of luxury in LEGO car building.
