Authentic Design Inspired by the Real Racing Machine
Over the past two years, LEGO has clearly been expanding its presence in the Formula 1 world.
From the Ferrari SF-24 and McLaren racers to the Red Bull RB series, large-scale Technic F1 cars have gradually evolved into a dedicated product line. Now, Aston Martin officially joins the starting grid.
The new set is based on Aston Martin’s 2025-season AMR25 Formula 1 car. While early rumors suggested it could represent the AMR26, LEGO ultimately chose the more established and recognizable 2025 design.
The model features Aston Martin’s signature green and black livery, commonly known as British Racing Green—a color scheme that has become synonymous with Aston Martin’s return to Formula 1. Numerous stickers help recreate the authentic sponsor graphics and aerodynamic details found on the real-world race car.
Once completed, the model measures an impressive 61 cm (24 inches) in length, maintaining the display-focused proportions that have become standard across LEGO’s large-scale Technic F1 range.
Feature Set Continues the Series Standard
As a premium Technic race car priced near ¥2,000, the AMR25 comes packed with functional features.
LEGO has confirmed that the model includes:
- Front and rear pushrod suspension
- Working steering system
- Differential drivetrain
- Two-speed gearbox
- Detailed V6 engine
- Simulated engine operation
- Functional DRS rear wing that activates when shifted into high gear
These features closely match the specifications seen in previous large-scale Technic F1 releases. However, what may interest builders most is how LEGO has adapted the internal mechanical architecture to reflect the unique engineering of Aston Martin’s race car.
For large-scale Technic F1 models, the building experience is often just as important as the finished display piece.
Another Must-Have Addition to the Technic F1 Collection
With the arrival of Aston Martin, LEGO Technic’s large-scale F1 lineup has now expanded to five different Formula 1 cars.
For collectors aiming to assemble the complete grid, the AMR25 is an obvious addition. At the same time, its release raises an exciting question: will more Formula 1 teams join the series in the future?
Final Thoughts
The LEGO Technic 42240 Aston Martin Aramco AMR25 F1 Car will officially launch on July 1, 2026.
With its large display scale, iconic British Racing Green livery, two-speed gearbox, and comprehensive mechanical functions, this model already looks highly appealing to both Technic builders and Formula 1 fans alike.
Whether it will become the most desirable car in LEGO Technic’s growing F1 collection, however, is a question that can only be answered once builders get their hands on it and experience the set firsthand.
