Well, I can't say I'm really happy with these models, like usually. There some new amalzing parts but also I regretabbly 77237 - "Dodge Challenget SRT Hellcat" in lime color The model looks ridculosly long (2 studs for front and rear overhang, 4 for mudguards and 8 for the middel part). The Challeneger is a big car, I know, but with the proportions its looks too "long-nosed". I like these kind of cars and was waiting for this model (and even made my vision of it, with ~320 parts used). Now I can say I see it like a somehow "lazy build" - with 390 parts used it could have much better result. Now what I do like: New 1x3 curved slopes (the front bumper) - the 1x2 slopes 11477 are now stretched to 1x3 length. I can't wait for other colors for this part! New "Round-legged" mudguards - the 35789 part now have their "short siblings" like 18974 got 3387 once. It is a logically expected step to have the "low profile" variant for this part too bit I expect a very limited use of it - there are not so many cars with a low side profile and without any skirts underside. A special like goes to 1x1 plates with a clip addon in trans-clear color for the headlights - I spent a lot of time to achive the "angry brow" effect using the exisiting 1x1 rounded studs with uneven offset, and this way looks even more accurate than my attempts.

I know this part is quite old, but I was surprised to see it in the Speed Champions model. While G 63 (yeah, I forgot about it, my bad) is a "King-Size" model and must have some out-of-the-line solutions, this one is more "convenient" and, boom!, it got new steering wheel idea (that finally resolves the "offset problem" of older models) and a new "convertible" windshield. A big progress, finally! I'm not sure if I can put it here, so please feel free to erase if it shouldn't be here. Here is my attempt to build the coming set (pretty similar to recent Mercedes convertible):
-
Is it the first time we have a steering wheel as a separate part (the "circle" only), instead of a wheel+stand regular part?

Auuuchh... I found this Honda S2000 set leaks, and my impressions are controversial... I love new colors, and it is great to see the parts in the rare shades. It is also a great opportunity for MOCs! But the shape that TLG made... Well... It strongly reminds me of the Tibetan fox with a disproportionally (to usual foxes) high placed eyes. Really, S2000 had them not on the top of wheel arches...

Well, it also could be "all-at-once"... Letty is a more famous character than Suki, so her appearance could be more likely. Plus, in some Fast-PutYourNumber-Furious series, she used to draw Dodge Challenger cars. I wonder, may it correlate with this one? Absolutely, Suki's vibrant pink S2000 is much more iconic, alongside with Skyline. Because these cars were "characters' alter-ego" before they jumped into "choose whatever you want as a one-time ride, coz you will destroy it in a minute" Anyway, I would love to see them all. Plus, I spent some time this year on attempts to make Challenger (as best as it could be), and want to compare it with Lego's official result.

I think, it may come as a single new part, the full combination of "axle" with A-shaped arms and integrated pods. Just something to where you need only add a pair of wheels.

Nice catch! I see the same now! They are like 10-15% wider

Hello everyone, that is the list of set numbers I found here: 2025 LEGO Speed Champions - releases and rumors : r/SpeedChampions March 2025: 77242 - Ferrari F1: 275 pieces, $26.99 77243 - Red Bull Racing F1: 251 pieces, $26.99 77244 - Mercedes F1: 267 pieces, $26.99 77245 - Aston Martin F1: 269 pieces, $26.99 77246 - Visa Cash App RB F1: 248 pieces, $26.99 77247 - Kick Sauber F1: 259 pieces, $26.99 77248 - Alpine F1: 258 pieces, $26.99 77249 - Williams F1: 263 pieces, $26.99 77250 - Haas F1: 242 pieces, $26.99 77251 - McLaren F1: 269 pieces, $26.99 Summer 2025: 77237: ? 77238: ? 77239: ? 77240: ? 77241: ? Since now we have 10 F1 teams planned for 2025, I highly hope that the second wave will include non-F1 cars. Update: after recent leaked images I can see the following highlights: New prints for the "slick" tires, now we have the full set of Yellow-White-Red tires. For sure, they all will have equal rubber))) New Helmet molds with small visors (IDK if it can be opened anyhow, or even transparent or just printed) New parts to make small winglets over the front wheels. The long 1-stud wide nose parts look too colorful to be printed and too accurate to be stickered. May they be dual-molded to better catch the livery colors? Please... Like 2024's cars, they all are pretty similar with the following differences: Livery (for sure) Slightly different "nose" ending - someone with 1x1 cheese sloe, some with 1x2 tile - the rest of the "nose" is the same as in 2024. Side pontons are similar but each car has a different building of them, with air inlets and outlets and side "skirts" The main air intake (behind the driver's head) is also different for each car. The rear wing looks the same but with slight changes for the leading central fin.

So far I only found the list of teams - which set number will represent which team (with parts count). Let's get to the 2025 topic? LEGO Speed Champions 2025 rumors/speculations - Page 2 - LEGO Town - Eurobricks Forums

The APP update (it still has beta status yet, AFAIK) is the only hope... It is a comedy/tragic situation when the "combi-hub" is faster than ever before than other C+ motors, but the wheel size difference totally ruins the overall result... -
I found a speed build + review of the Ferrari F40! It appeared that the build was more or less predictable. A bad surprise for me was that the rear part (after the wheel arches) is relatively weakly attached to the rest of the car... This can be easily solved by rearranging the tiles on top of the rear part.

More images: LEGO® Speed Champions 76935 NASCAR® Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 | KostičkyShop (kostickyshop.cz) LEGO® Speed Champions 76934 Superauto Ferrari F40 | KostičkyShop (kostickyshop.cz) It is already here, as printed 1x1 tiles. I kinda love them! You're completely right!

Toretto's Charger? I has no attachemts for its roottop)) It was my personal surprise - I had been building an 8-wide F40 for a long time and some time ago found that I really needed these parts in red. And... the 1st surprise was the rumor that TLG would make it too. I was happy to know it. The 2nd is that it has the parts I needed in red
-
Yes, I also recognized it as a road sign, and the taillights may have a 4L-wide tile between them.
