The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team has teamed with the LEGO Group to launch the first ever Aston Martin Aramco F1 LEGO set.
As part of a double pack of buildable LEGO Speed Champions car toys, a LEGO build version of the podium-finishing AMR23 race car can be pieced together alongside the Aston Martin Vantage Safety Car.
In a deal brokered by IMG, the LEGO F1 car features authentic design details from the real-life version, including the Halo, rear wing and partner logos, plus a racing driver minifigure complete with Aston Martin branded overalls and helmet.
Once assembled, the 564-piece building kit measures more than 4cm high, 19cm long and 7cm wide.
“We are thrilled to unveil the LEGO® model of the AMR23 Aston Martin Aramco F1 car, the first for our team, which will allow fans to build their own replica version,” commented Matthew Chapman, head of licensing and merchandise at Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. “We are excited about this collaboration with the LEGO Group to bring the Aston Martin Aramco and Aston Martin Lagonda brands together in one pack. Each model in the set showcases our famous British racing green colours, and we cannot wait for fans to get their hands on this to add to their car collections.”
Dan Squirrell, designer at LEGO Group, continued: “I have grown up as a huge fan of Aston Martin, so working with them on this set fulfilled a lifelong dream. I especially enjoyed working with the team at Aston Martin and my colleagues at the LEGO Group to get the details just right, by finding new ways to use the bricks to get the correct shapes.”
