Lego’s newest Speed Champions set features models of the 2024 BMW M4 GT3 and 2024 BMW M Hybrid V-8 race cars along with a set of mini-figurines with race suits and race helmets. Since most of us will never have the money to buy a real GT3-level race car, let alone a hypercar, this kit serves as a fun consolation prize until we can get those pesky lotto numbers to hit.

The Speed Champions lineup from Lego, including this new BMW set, focuses on smaller, more affordable sets than the huge and intricate Technic builds such as the 3778-piece Ferrari Daytona SP3, which carries a nearly $400 price tag. The BMW set features 676 pieces and comes with the pieces to build out each race car along with a set of mini figurine drivers to go with them. The cars measure 2.5 inches tall, 6.5 inches long, and 2.5 inches wide, making them the perfect size for a bookshelf or a desktop.

The M4 GT3 race cars are capped at around 550 horsepower, while prototype cars like the M Hybrid V-8 are allotted closer to 650 horsepower.
