Beware, this is gonna be a post longer than chili ._.
i've organized the whole speed champions cars sets, by brands, and sometimes licenses. I think there's quite a lot of things to say, and debate. ._.
I'm only humans, not divine, and can only make projections, not predictions, if i could i would be far more wealthier than now ._.
The part after the list, is just me bragging about my car culture, and how it allows me to try to foresee how would lego do things ._.
below here, lies the whole speed champions set line up, by number of cars in each brand, from least to most. Within a brand there's 6 and 8 wide studs, the first paragraph are the 6 wide studs.
for licenses that aren't brands, like cars and f1 the movie, i considered them to be their own things.

so, first of all, of course, the under exploited brands and licenses.
koenigsegg, and pagani, while being famous brands only have a few base model ( gamera, jesko, jesko absolut, and cc850 for koenigsegg, zonda, hyuara, and utopia for pagani), and lego already did the last base model of each brand. maybe they could take a more sports version and add it, but, i don't think that would really bring value. So, my guess on the both, is that lego is waiting for them to drop a new insanity of a car, and then make a set.
lotus doesn't have that much more stock cars that have a speed champions potential to me. However, since lego is in for F1, i think they could do a lotus 88, which is the one that got banned for being too good.
for honda, i think we all first thought of the civic, maybe even in a wrc version. I would like to add the NSX could be interesting as well.
regarding the sauber, maybe the C9 that won le mans in 1989. but that may be a bit too niche.
Alpine has a great potential. They could do the WEC hypercar. In fact, I think lego is missing a big opportunity on WEC/F1 double packs for brands like Alpine, Ferrari, aston martin, mclaren, and even cadillac. but, we'll have the chance to speak about it later. Back to alpine, outside of race cars, they also have the A110, which is a cute car, that was, iirc, sometime used in rally. iconic model, may be a sellout.
Williams is only a racing group, so, unless lego wants to get deeper into historical f1, i don't think we'll see them again, or at least not that soon.
Haas is a sponsor for the racing team, but they manufacture industries machinery tools. it has nothing to do with speed champions, but a technic or, something similar set, could be interesting.
The whole f1 apex gp movie car is solely isolated to the movie, that is a single set partnership to me.
cars has great potential. Lego already did some 4+ kids sets previously, featuring a lot of iconics characters, but for the speed champion lineup, i'm thinking, doc hudson, the dinoco king, franscesco bernouilli, and maybe jackson storm.
While more back to the future sets could be cool, i know we won't get any other delorean. The DMC is the only car the manufacturer was able to produce before the brand collapsed and closed its doors.
The lego f1 academy car, is to me, lego self promotion. While i do appreciate that they put the projector on women in racing, i don't think lego sets would sell that well, sadly. lego did it because it's their team.
land rover is part of the jaguar group. I don't know that much about it, but i don't think we will see them again, outside of one suv/4x4 sided with a roadsters double packs.
While redbull has great potential, lego only have a contract with the f1 teams this far. they would need to sign up a contract with the redbull brand itself, to make others cars like the supervan, and the mini cooper. However, i wouldn't be against a remake of the Vcarb f1 car, since the 2025 set had the 2024 livery, and was obsolete before being even on the shelves.
BMW is really slept upon. they do have a nice racing history and iconics models. a double pack with an x drive, and a zr4 roadster, or a m3 racing car, or an e46. And if we even want to add more video games license, the nfs most wanted bmw would be a sellout too, imo.
toyota is also a bit underexploited too. Well, maybe even a lot.
i think we first need to speak about the sports and GR (gazoo racing) formerly tgr (toyota gazoo racing ) series. ._. Because toyota LOVE motorsports.
To continue to expand upon the WEC, they're engaged both in hypercar and gt3. even thought, the gt3 grid maybe be sneaky, cause it's actually under the Lexus badge. Lexus being the toyota luxury sports cars brand. the car on the grid is the lexus rfc, and the hypercar, that already won the first race of the WEC this year, is the toyota tr10 hybrid. i get that it may not be as iconic as a ferrari 499.
But once again, toyota has a great potential, with the ts050 in wec, in lmp1, that won le mans in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
the toyota gt one could also be fun to have.
toyota is also used in initial D, with the toyota ae86, but i doubt lego would stretch this far.
in WRV, i don't recall lego doing the toyota Yaris, which won the wrc from 2018 to 2021.
but, my personnal calls, outside of the supra which we already got twice now, would be a double pack, with for the offroader either a toyota tacoma, or a toyota hylux. Those are indestructible. Top gear tried to destroy one and failed. The only thing that could stop lego from making those models is that they're widely used in wars, in africa and middle east. Some much so that there's even a toyota war.
For the hero car of the double pack, toyta announced last year the successors of the famous lexus LFA (which could also be a nice set to get ), the toyota gr gt, and the gr gt3. if i remember correctly, the gr gt3 is also supposed to be the cover car of the new forza horizon 6 game, that will be release pretty soon.
I think they would be absolutely incredible to have.
Mini has been fully exploited, to me. Maybe a modern cooper could cut it, but that's not really a sport car. Althought, maybe the twin hayabusa mini truck that can drift while in a wheelie, which is absolute madness, could be something lego may be interested in.
Nissan also has an interesting potential. if we keep the same offroader/sports car strategy, i think a nissan patrol and nissan silvia set could be cool. i don't know much about nissan in others motorsports, but they did the nissan deltawing, that they tried in endurance racing. This things looks exactly as its sounds.
Jaguar doesn't sounds speed champions to me, and i was surprised to learn they were involved into electric racing series. but not just that, in the 50s, they raced into endurance, with the D type. but, not only this, they also won the 1988 le mans, with the XJR-9, the one with the with, purple and yellow livery. Otherwise, we all know the jaguar E type, that would be a real sellout, and, just for the fun of it, i would love if lego release a type 00 set. Also, the whole XJ lineup has some strong potential.
For bugatti, we had to sit and wait for such a long time, that now, the old 6 wide chiron is screaming for a remake. They already did remake of 6 wides cars, like for the f40, so, maybe we can hope for that one too. But, for me, there's other things to tackle : they did the bolide in technic, twice, so, maybe we would see it in speed champions too. the tourbillon may also be adapted. So far, they didn't made the veyron, not even in technic, if i can remember corectly, so, that's something to watch for. but the divo seems like an obvious move for me. The other one that would be an elegant surprise, would be a speed champions la voiture noire. that would be unexpected.
I think corvette got correctly exploited already. Maybe we could expect some c8, or gt3 car, but that's not something i'll bet on.
For chevrolet, i think lego may release a second 8 wide nascar car. But, toyota also is engaged into nascar, so, that may not be a chevrolet. What i'm a bit disappointed from lego using the chevrolet brand is that there's such iconics models, like the impala, the eldorado, the camaro, the el camino, etc ... those classics models seems to only be bound to icons sets line up, like they did for the corvette C1, and the camaro 1969. but hell, a impala 1959 would look cool as hell in a city. Chevrolet is also really present in the low rider community. That's a big part of custom cars, but, i don't know the position of lego on this. But a bouncing lowrider eldorado, that will be incredible. all in all, chevrolet is underexploited, but that may be because it doesn't rally fit the speed champions theme, except for the corvettes.
On audi, i'm also hoping for a remake of the r8. The 6 wide studs was the r8 lms ultra, so technically not the r8, which could lego do the r8 remake. However, cada already sell the model, and i don't remember lego and cada overlapping on cars models. BUT, that's not enough for me to lose hope, we'll get an 8 wide r8.
However, while the audi quattro are now done, i think a v8 quattro in dtm, could be the next thing to do for lego.
Maybe also a speed champions version of the e-tron dakar rs they did in technic before.
globally, i think lego should do dakars cars.
I don't have that much to add on aston-martin. we got their F1 car, their gt3 car ( the vantage) their supercar, the valkyrie, all there's left to build is the wec version. Maybe the lagonda.
Lamborghini is releasing the fenomeno (if they havent' already), so that's an expected move from lego. Also, outside of the Urus, lamborghini have another SUV, much more angular, the lm 002. that's double pack material.
Many of the iconic dodge has already been made. However, there still is material. first, the dodge viper. a classic, and i'm a bit surprised that lego didn't made one. And second, the dodge charger daytona 1969. This one is the model of the Dinoco king n43 in cars, so, maybe if lego does the cars movie cars, we won't have it in a more classical set.
While for mercedes there's a ton of models that could be done, there's quite a few that seems obvious but are still waiting.
First, the mercedes/mclaren slr. one of the first supercar, and a mythic collab between mclaren and mercedes.
Second the mercedes clk gtr.
Third the mercedes 300SL. that's like, one of the most iconic mercedes model, and they haven't done it yet. And don't argue that it's not a racing car. it is.
Regarding mclaren, the lineup seems pretty complete.
the porsche serie seems to lack also quite a few obvious things to me. First, the 959 paris dakar, that actually won the rally. That's a legendary car, that lego's missing on.
Then, if we continue on the SUV, the cayenne has been a commercial success for porsche.
So did the boxster, that is the roadster porsche. to stay in rally, the porsche 911 safari also looks pretty cool, and the 959, not in the paris dakar version, but road version also is an icon.
On ford, except for the current gt3 cars, i don't thik we have to get anything else from lego speed champions for now.
Almost same on ferrari. Maybe the monza SP1 or SP2, but that's a bit of a niche car, and i personnaly don't like the sp1. However, lego id a technic daytona sp3. And i'm still waiting for it's speed champions version.
Now that's done, we're going to discuss the licenses, and other further speculations that i have.
for formula 1, i think lego could do a interesting line up. May be a bad idea, however. What i think could be nice is a collab between ferrari, f1, and lego, to make the most iconic era f1 cars. Why with ferrari ? because ferrari has been in f1 since the beginning without missing a single one. They're f1. enzo didn't wanted to do road cars. he wanted to just have the scuderia, and had to make road cars to be able to financially sustain the scuderia. So, since lego is double downing in f1, maybe historical ferrari f1 could be cool.
to stay on f1, there's been two new team this year : audi, replacing sauber, and cadillac. While we got an audi f1 set, the cadillac one is still missing. Althgought the f1 team and audi itself are two separated entities, the motherhouse still have it's authority over the f1 team i think, and since they already had a partnership with lego, the f1 team also engaged with them.
Which explain why we don't have a cadillac yet. maybe the negociations are harsh, maybe cadillac just said no, maybe they don't have the time to bother around building bricks. However, if cadillac gets into a partnership, we may have the WEC car, the escalade, and other iconics models like the coupé de ville.
I'll like to expand further upon the hoonicorn v1. the partnership means that the whole hoonigan serie may be available. That means all gymkhana cars. the hoonicorn v2, the hoonitruck, the ford fiestas, the subaru brat, the hoonipigasus, etc ...
But it also means something else. Ken block, wans't only the one who made the gymkhana, but also found DC shoes. this is out of the bounds of speed champions, but since lego does nike sets, i could also expect to see DC shoes sets. Wich could be acoompanied with some skateboarders, since it was originally a sketeboards shoes brand.
Next up, i would like to talk abit about fast and furious movies. lego seems to be weirdly unwilling to step out of the first two movies. maybe they have to negociate the rights movie by movie. if that's so, i hope they get the tokyo drift one.
For two main reasons : first the mazda brand would be contracted, that means, of course, the rx7, but also the mx5, and, most importantly, the 787b , winner of le mans 1991 with a rotary engine (first and only rotary engine car to win le mans ).
netx, still in tokyo drift, there's the mistubishi evo 9, the car of seans. The mitsubishi lancer has a great history in rally, but only the 6 first versions, if i remember well. This evo in tokyo drift is a lancia evo 7. Maybe both could be cool.
there's also the nissan silvia s15 "mona lisa", that's crashed early in the movie, and the DK car, being a nissan fairylady 733 350z. which is something i missed in my nissan lists, but here we are.
i think it's a bit unfair to speak about mitsubishi, but not subaru. First, with the hoonigan license, we may get the last gymkhane subaru brat driven by travis pastrana. but what subara is interesting for, is the subaru impreza, and it's rally history, and mostly, it's blue and yellow stars livery.
To continue upon rally, and group b, i think, we nee a lancia line up. the rally 037, the delta s4, and mostly, the gorgeous stratos hf gr4.
This is because i'm french, but i think our 3 main constructors may also have many things to bring to speed champion. I already talked about renault with alpine. but when speaking about renault, without speaking about alpine, and or, the f1 program ( a fernando alonso speed champion set with the winning renault f1, like they did for icon could be cool), there's still the renault 5 maxi turbo, that was one of the group b machine.
Peugeot already got a partnership with lego, since they did the former WEC car, in technic. Peugeot is still racing in hypercar today, in WEC, that could be something to build.
But most importantly, peugeot got the 205 t16, which is a group b AND dakar legend, winning in both racing series, and, while not winning, also happened to race in pikes peak, with a 2,3,and 4th places. that small box is a monster ._.
Peugeot also happen to have the 406 v6, which is used in the taxi movies. Althought it may be a bit of a niche franchise, it would be really cool to see it on the shelves. may not be a sellout, but, it's a thing to try.
And, regarding citroën, you have to get into WRC. the xsara WRC, driven by sebastien loeb, with 3 driver championship, and 3 constructor championship. ( we also need to talk about sebastien loeb, he's a beast.)
the citroën c4 wrc, same old recipe, sébastien loeb, wrc, four drivers championship, three constructors championships.
the citroën ds3 wrc, same old recipe, sebastien loeb, wrc, two driver championship, two constructors championship.
And to finish it, the citroën zx rallye-raid, who dominated the WCC from 1993 to 1997, and won 4 times the daker.
And to add to all that, i think the traction avant and the DS models would do really well in icons cars.
that rant of chauvinism done, let's talk about jeep. Lately, lego added the jeep wrangler to the jurassic park line up. That may means they have the rights to use jeep outside of jurrassic park. A wrangler, or a rubicon could be cool.
I would also like to address electric cars. Lego, in their city sets seems to be driven to electric cars, ( with batteries inside them) and they do looks a bit like teslas, i'll have to admit. Althought tesla do not have such a distinct identity, compared to the other brands lego can use, i would've said a few years ago that, for electric cars it would be a very good representation. Althought, we all know what happened with elon musk. ._.
But, i'm still hoping to get a lego cyber truck for the laugh. ._.
staying on electric cars, one that is completely in the speed champions spirit, AND as far as recorded isn't owned by a weirdo like musk, is the McMurty spéirling. You know, the car that can stay upside down at reste. And actually drive upside down. And actually annihilating records owned by thermic cars. ._.
To stay on cyber-things, and to continue on video games, i'll add to my wishlist the quadra turbo-R V-tech. lego already did grand turismo cars, i think cyberpunk can have it's part. I may doubt that lego will make it, since it's a pretty violent world. there's also the porsche 911 turbo cabriolet that could be done from the game.
To stay on video games topics, i know nothing about the grand turismo franchise, but i bet that, if there's other cars that were designed specifically for the game, we could expect to see them, since lamborghini and bugatti already got done in lego.
a bit of a stretch, but lego also own mario license rights. while they have their own lineup, i would totally see a mariokart set for speed champions. which car, up to lego to decide, but i could see that being made. I know they already released an icon mariokart set, tho.
I don't think realistic cars game would cut it. things like forza, and asseto corsa are only rebuilding the existing cars. why would lego bother to get a video game license to reproduce car they could make with the rights they already have with the actual manufacturer ?
However, speaking of forza, maybe since they had a Hot Wheels DLC, it could be a thing lego could tap into. Hot wheels got pretty iconic cars, and i think they could sell out pretty well, if the hot wheels models is carefully choosen.
lego is being sneaky about gt3. They did made the mercedes amg gt3, used in actuals gt3 races, but in 6 studs, so a remake won't be a surprise. lamborghini huracan is also used in gt3. porsche 911 gt3.the astom martin vantage is used in gt3. the mclaren 720s, is a 6 wide, but still. same for the audi r8, used in some gt3 categories. and how to forget the bmw m4. regarding ford, the mustang lmgt3 haven't been made yet, so are the lexus, the corvettes,the ferrari 296. toyota will release the gr gt3 in 2027. maybe gt3 teams will use them, maybe lego will make one before that, knowing it's the hero car of forza horizon 6. I just think lego is trying to give us sneakily a full set of gt3 cars.
Lego also did top fuel dragsters, and i think they could expand into the lower category, being the funny car.
That's all.
I know this is a long post.
i just had to get it out. ._.
We'll see if i had correct predictions._.
