Description

A speedster for the desk

This model was part of a monthly activity in which brand store visitors could build small vehicles and animals. The race car has a flat body, four wheels and a narrow top that hints at speed. With only 52 pieces it comes together in a few minutes and needs barely any space. Thanks to its compact shape, it also fits neatly next to a keyboard or on a bookshelf, ready to be noticed.

Racing colours and stripes

The four main colours are black, red, white and light bluish grey. Red and white give the car its sporty look, black takes care of the tyres and underside, and the grey supplies small details. Among the 52 bricks there are 25 different part types, so almost every second brick has its own shape. That is plenty of variety for a model of this size and keeps the build interesting despite the low piece count, without ever becoming complicated.

For collecting and for play

No minifigure is included, so the race car is a pure vehicle model. That suits collectors who want to complete the mini models of a series. Children can send it around a track they build themselves from other bricks. Precisely because it is so simple, the car is easy to change with your own ideas, such as different colours, a bigger rear wing or extra stripes, and every version can be built from the same small pile.

What the list tells you

The parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity, so you can see what a copy would need. The “What can I build?” tool also checks which other models are possible when these pieces are combined with your own collection. Red and black standard parts are plentiful in many boxes, so the race car often provides the spark for the next small build without you having to buy anything extra.
