That Technic Porsche, along with the rest of Speed Champs Wave 2, may get revealed at the Geneva Auto Show.

This sets are cool but maybe they need just some little changes on some car parts.

I wouldn't be surprised if the final Technic Porsche set makes it's reveal at Geneva. But according to Ford, their sets will be available march first (before Geneva). Which unless they have some extra special arraignment, would mean all the sets should be available before Geneva. at the same time though Lego does need to reach car fans so doing an announcement of sorts saying "Available Now" on all the remaining sets would probably gain them quite a few more sales.

[GallardoLU]

Lego just gave us a few more pictures.

Would only buy porsche set because they won the last year 24 lemans

[XAxles]

And... my brain just blew up.

Nice pics. I'm happy to see the rear of the Mustang.

I can't wait to pick these up! Hopefully the April 1 date sticks. Maybe find them in late March, though that's a tough one for me. The closest TRU is pretty crappy.

[jonwil]

I hope these do come out in Australia (they aren't in the 1st half catalog). Wouldn't mind the Corvette and maybe the Camaro and the F-150 (just because I really like pickup trucks :)

[Vectormatic]

Do those mustang tail lights look like prints to anyone else? Im not seeing the sticker edges, same goes for the black stripes on the front of the R18

[SirBlake]

I'm sure the tail lights are stickers. Everything else is.

I managed to find the McLaren at my dumpy TRU last night. That one originally sold out fast and I hadn't seen it in months. It was a really fun build and fired me up even more for this new wave.

I actually HAD to buy it from S@H because it has NEVER showed up at my local TRU!

[cityfanlego63]

I love audi I think that's going to do a good set .

Lame. I think it's odd that the entire theme is exclusive to a single store. It'd be nice if this second wave got full distribution.

I've been seeing the same thing here in the Netherlands... I originally got the Speed Champions LaFerrari and Porsche 918 late july. Shortly after, there weren't any McLaren P1's to be found pretty much anywhere. It's been sold out for months at my local LEGO specialist and only a fraction of my online stores still have some. Most are sold out and have been for ages. You can still get them from LEGO and if you're not in a rush, some stores have them available online... but that does mean paying shipping unless you're ordering other stuff.

It was so rare to find around september/october, I was pretty much convinced it was already unofficially retired. But nope, still listed as a current product online.

I'll be getting all of these with the double points in March. So excited! It's such a great theme.

[GallardoLU]

March lego challenger proves March 1st date for all Speed Champion sets:

[SirBlake]

Awesome! Can't wait, but if I have to, 1 month is better than 2.

I worked a little last night based on photos we've seen on an 8-stud wide version of the Mustang. It's working out pretty well, but with all the slopes, parts availability is a challenge. My first run at it is red, black and blue with white wheel arches lol.

came across this article as well. http://pop-critica.com/lego-announces-new-speed-champions-cars/ several final product advertisement images (all sets)

That... looks darn good. Hubs, too.

[santaends]

Those hubcaps.. *whistle*

[-zenn]

I'm a bit excited about the F150 + hot rod!

Ow yes, I probably pick one up. :)

[GallardoLU]

All these new images have me excited (as evident by the number of posts I've made lately) so I've gone through and ranked them in the order I most want them.

1^st Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit Lane

2^nd Audi R18 e-tron quattro

3^rd Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race

4^th Chevrolet Corvette Z06

5^th Ford F-150 Raptor & Ford Model A Hot Rod

6^th Audi R8 LMS ultra

7^th Ford Mustang GT

I'm a big fan of Le Mans, primarily older cars (917k, GT40, 787B) but new LMP cars are always a nice sight too. there is also that mean Ford Coupe, but I could do without the truck. deffinitly cant wait much longer
