There’s no doubt that both LEGO enthusiasts and car lovers share a deep, passionate love for their respective hobbies. These folks sweat over the littlest details, love tackling tough challenges, and wear their hearts on their sleeves when it comes to their passions. So it’s no surprise that whenever LEGO releases a new car model, it sends fans of both realms into a frenzy! However, from my nearly ten years of writing about LEGO, I’ve learned that the company is super picky. It doesn’t just throw things into their catalog—especially when it comes to partnerships.
Developing, negotiating, and marketing each unique collaboration takes a lot of behind-the-scenes work, whether it’s for LEGO’s Harry Potter series, their Star Wars range, Marvel/DC collections, or their LEGO Technic alliances with automotive brands. Unfortunately, this means that a TON of truly legendary cars are still waiting on their own LEGO sets—either because it’s believed they won’t sell or due to some legal issues blocking LEGO from creating kits for our favorite rides. Hence, we’ve compiled a list of 10 iconic cars that still don’t have their own LEGO sets and sought AI’s help to imagine what these sets might look like… because, let’s be real, a person can dream, right?
01. Bugatti Veyron
The Bugatti Veyron deserves the number one spot here because it was the first car that truly made me go ‘wow.’ I was just a kid when the Veyron came out, and it really ignited my passion for cars. I believe a LEGO set based on it would be a hit! Yet, strangely, this historic car—once holding the title for the fastest production car for five years—still doesn’t have its own LEGO set, while the Bugatti Chiron and Bolide do.
This design is iconic because it kicked off a new era for Bugatti with its signature look. The inverted horseshoe grille, C-shaped rear pillar, and the stunning blue and black color scheme just come together beautifully, making the Veyron a modern classic. A LEGO set based on this beauty would definitely capture it in a way that’s unique to LEGO.
02. Lamborghini Miura
This year we lost a true legend in automotive design—Marcello Gandini. Known for his work during the golden age of car design, Gandini and his firm Bertone gifted us countless iconic creations from brands like Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Ferrari, and of course, Lamborghini. While the Countach has its own LEGO set, the stunning Miura still awaits its turn.
When released in 1966, the Miura was the fastest production car in existence, with a top speed of 276 km/h (171 mph). But it wasn’t just about speed; it was also a stunning piece of art. The headlights with their ‘eyelashes’ gave it a delicate yet aggressive aesthetic, perfectly capturing the duality of the car’s character.
03. Ferrari Enzo
One might assume that a revolutionary car like the Enzo—named after the Ferrari founder—would already have its own LEGO set. We’ve seen classic Ferraris like the F40 and modern marvels like the Daytona SP3 get their own brick versions, yet the Enzo continues to be overlooked.
When it launched in 2002, the Enzo drew on Ferrari’s racing heritage, demonstrating just how far road-legal cars could go. Its V12 engine, carbon fiber frame, and aerodynamic design showcased unrivaled engineering. Plus, it features eye-catching scissor doors, a long nose, and a streamlined interior that scream speed and purpose. A LEGO Enzo could encapsulate all these elements, making it a classic for any car enthusiast’s display.
04. Lancia Stratos HF Zero
The Lancia Stratos HF Zero is a revolutionary concept car that completely challenged the idea of what a car could look like. Its cool low-slung, wedge shape was a shock at the time, making people reconsider car design. It’s surprising that LEGO hasn’t turned this famous design into a collectible set—especially since this concept car paved the way for the production version of the Stratos that was eventually released.
Launched in 1970, it was conceptualized by the brilliant Marcello Gandini at Bertone—yes, the same mastermind behind the Miura and so many other classics. The HF Zero featured groundbreaking designs like hidden headlights and a cockpit that mimicked a fighter jet canopy, pushing the limits of automotive design. Creating this as a LEGO set would be a chance to showcase the daring shapes, angles, and innovations that defined one of the most influential show cars ever.
05. Rolls-Royce Phantom
The Rolls-Royce Phantom has been a symbol of automotive luxury and finesse for ages, constantly raising the bar that other brands aspire to. Yet, incredibly, it’s still absent from the LEGO lineup despite LEGO’s explorations into luxury vehicles—such as the Ferrari F40 or Aston Martin DB5.
A LEGO Phantom set would beautifully translate the elegance of its sweeping fenders, the classic appeal of its sculpted front, and the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, all intertwined with a plush and lavish interior. This kind of model would honor the intricate craftsmanship and engineering that makes a Phantoms so special, showcasing each detail with pride in plastic form—a true tribute to one of the world’s most prestigious cars.
06. Bentley Continental GT
The Bentley Continental GT has completely redefined the grand touring experience for today’s world, seamlessly fusing performance with luxury. Its commanding stance, characteristic matrix grille, and flowing roofline command attention, yet the Continental GT still remains unjustly missing from the LEGO catalog.
A LEGO model of the Continental GT would beautifully encapsulate the painstaking attention to detail that defines every Bentley. From the delicate lines in the body to the distinctive oval headlights, and the lush interior filled with wood and leather, a set would allow builders to honor the spirit of European grand touring in a tangible way.
07. Lamborghini Gallardo
The Lamborghini Gallardo marked a pivotal moment for the Italian brand, bringing their bold design ethos and a roaring V10 engine to a wider audience than ever before. Known for its radical styling and thrilling performance, the Gallardo became one of Lamborghini’s best sellers. Yet surprisingly, it never received its very own LEGO set, while other models like the Countach, Huracán, and Sián have.
Creating a LEGO model of the Gallardo would be a chance to relive its cutting-edge lines, aggressive air intakes, and the growling sound of its naturally aspirated V10 engine. A well-crafted LEGO version could pay tribute to this modern classic, merging the artistry of supercar design with LEGO’s signature intricacy. From its sleek curves to the intricacies hidden within the engine bay, a Gallardo LEGO set would truly honor a car that defined Lamborghini’s resurgence in the 21st century.
08. Tesla Model 3
Shifting gears from traditional luxury brands, let’s chat about how the Tesla Model 3 has emerged as a modern classic in its own right, revolutionizing perceptions of electric cars. With a streamlined interior focused around a central touchscreen, it’s a pivotal design that demonstrates future-oriented thinking in automotive styling, even while maintaining sleek, aerodynamic lines. Despite its widespread impact, it still hasn’t been captured in LEGO form—as LEGO has delved into various electric designs and concepts in the past.
A LEGO Model 3 would celebrate the innovations Tesla has brought to everyday driving, encapsulating the car’s smooth body, flush handles, and panoramic roof. Recreating the sleek front and understated wheel designs would honor the ways the Model 3 altered the auto industry, proving that vehicles can be user-friendly while still groundbreaking. It’s a fitting tribute to a car that opened the floodgates for well-engineered electric vehicles.
09. Rivian R1
You can’t mention electric vehicles without acknowledging Rivian, Tesla’s fierce competitor. The Rivian R1 series—covering both the R1T truck and the R1S SUV—symbolizes a bold leap into electric adventure, merging sustainability with rugged capability. These models shake up traditional design norms for trucks and SUVs, showcasing a modern aesthetic meshed with high-tech features. Despite Rivian’s rapid rise and the increasingly enthusiastic reception for electric adventure vehicles, they’ve yet to be imagined in LEGO form, leaving a gaps that LEGO could easily fill.
A LEGO set representing the Rivian R1 would capture the essence of eco-friendly exploration, showcasing its unique front lightbar, ingenious gear storage, and a sophisticated interior. Crafting a version of the R1 with colorful bricks would celebrate their commitment to advanced design alongside adventure—a set that would inspire builders to dream about a future where electric vehicles complement outdoor adventures.
10. Polestar 2
While the Polestar 2 may not have the aggressive lines of a supercar, it certainly makes a statement about modern vehicle design. There’s an understated elegance in how this Swedish EV embraces minimalism, rejecting the typical front grille and showcasing a cabin that feels more like a chic Scandinavian loft than a regular car. Upon first seeing the Polestar 2, I was struck by its calm demeanor—like an individual so confident they don’t need to shout to be recognized.
A LEGO model of this car wouldn’t just capture its design elements; it would embody the Polestar 2’s philosophy. Rather than forcing flash, it would showcase quiet assurance, a commitment to making thoughtful choices while using less. The challenge would not be in creating ostentatious designs but in embodying the subtle sophistication that makes the Polestar 2 a true pioneer of modern automotive aesthetics.
