Description

Two minifigures for a small story

The set includes two minifigures, enough to support a simple scene such as a driver and passenger, or two rivals lining up for a spontaneous race. That's a modest but workable cast for younger builders who want more than a single lonely figure behind the wheel. Anyone who already owns other LEGO® Hidden Side minifigures can easily fold these two into a larger scene, extending the story well beyond what this compact set covers on its own.

A metallic, technical colour scheme

Black, light bluish grey, red and flat silver give the vehicle a metallic, mechanical look well suited to a racing build, with the flat silver adding glossy accents around the engine and body details. The grey and black tones form the technical base, while silver picks out the parts meant to catch the eye. Builders chasing this same metallic combination for other vehicle projects can check the parts list on this page for the exact pieces and colours involved.

A racer from an unexpected theme

LEGO® Hidden Side is generally known for blending everyday scenes with supernatural, ghost-hunting elements, which makes this straightforward racing vehicle a slightly different addition to the range. Rather than leaning on the theme's mysterious side, Drag Racer focuses purely on vehicle action, at 134 pieces it's quick enough to build as a stand-alone project or as a smaller companion to a larger Hidden Side set already in a collection.

53 parts worth reusing

Among the 134 pieces are 53 distinct part types, and the silver detail pieces in particular tend to be useful well beyond this one build, since they combine easily with other vehicle sets. If you're working on your own racing car design, the full parts list on this page is a quick way to check exact shapes and colours before you start building, turning the set into a useful parts source as well as a finished model.
