The verdict

I picked this one up expecting a quick filler build and ended up turning it over in my hands for a good ten minutes just looking at the front wing assembly.

Speed Champions has quietly gotten better at this, the proportions read as a real F1 car from across the room, not a green blob with wheels. It is a short sit down build, so do not expect an afternoon project, but for the shelf presence and the price point it earns its spot. Best for Aston Martin fans and anyone building out a Speed Champions grid who wants one car that actually looks fast standing still.

The full review

What it is

This is the Aston Martin Aramco AMR24 done in Speed Champions scale, and the first thing that got me was the nose. LEGO has been sharpening the front end shaping on these F1 sets year over year, and this one has that long, low, pointed cone plus the sidepod undercuts that make it read as an actual current generation F1 car rather than a generic race car in green. It comes with a driver minifig, which I always appreciate, an empty cockpit on a display shelf just looks unfinished to me.

The catch

I will be straight with you about the size. At 269 pieces this is not a weekend project, it is closer to a coffee break build, and if you are used to bigger Speed Champions sets or Technic vehicles this will feel light in the hand once it is done. There are a few sticker applications instead of prints in spots, which some collectors always grumble about on a car this visually clean. And because Speed Champions sells these as single cars now rather than paired sets, building a real grid means buying several boxes at full price each.

Who it's for

If you love Aston Martin, F1, or you are slowly building a shelf of Speed Champions cars, this earns its place, the shaping alone is worth it. If you want a meaty multi hour build or a display piece with a lot of surface detail to admire up close, this is not that, treat it as a fast, good looking addition rather than a centerpiece.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build itself is quick and front loaded with the interesting parts. You start with the chassis and cockpit tub, drop the driver minifig in early, then spend most of the remaining steps working outward to the nose cone, front wing, and sidepods, which is where the actual engineering personality shows up. The halo and rear wing go on near the end and click together in a satisfying way that locks the whole shape solid enough to actually play with, not just display.

The standout here is the shaping rather than any single rare piece, the racing green color feels right for the current Aston Martin livery and the sculpted nose and sidepod elements are doing real work to sell the silhouette at this small scale. A few sticker sheets cover the sponsor logos and livery details instead of prints, which keeps the cost down but is the one spot where sharp eyed collectors wish LEGO had gone further.

Fun facts

01The AMR24 is modeled on Aston Martin Aramco's 2024 Formula 1 season car, carrying the team's signature British racing green.
02Speed Champions shifted in recent years to selling single hero cars rather than the earlier two-car race sets, putting more piece count and detail into each individual vehicle.
03The set includes a driver minifigure so the finished model can be displayed with its cockpit occupied rather than empty.
04Speed Champions models are built at a compact, deliberately non-uniform scale designed to look right on a shelf next to other cars in the theme rather than to a strict real-world ratio.
