Feed The Inner Child: Lego Technic Aston Martin Valkyrie

Beloved toy brand Lego has made Technic sets of many iconic cars, and now it’s come out with one for the Aston Martin Valkyrie. The automaker and toy company worked together to transfer the bold, revolutionary design and engineering of the hypercar into a combination of plastic bricks.

Watch an Aston Martin Valkyrie get washed for the first time.

The result is something we’re sure will fascinate both young and older gearheads, especially those who are big fans of Aston Martin. Thanks to its unique appearance, many have been enthralled with the hypercar, so it’s not a huge shock that a Lego version has been created.

Anyone lucky enough to snag this Lego Technic set will get to put together more than 700 pieces, many of them in Podium Green, just like the real Valkyries often wear. It’s the kind of toy you can display prominently in your home or office.

Since this is a Technic building set, this Lego creation is more functional than you might expect. Not only do the gullwing doors open fully, the steering can be controlled via a lever mounted to the top of the toy hypercar.

Opening up the shroud over the V12 engine reveals the pistons move and the differential also spins. That alone makes this an educational experience for parents or grandparents to build and play with this Lego set along with little ones. After all, teaching kids about cars is a higher form of love.

It’s possible this Lego set might make some kids huge fans of the Valkyrie and Aston Martin in general.

Created using Formula One technology, the Valkyrie not only is a consumer model used on public roads, it’s also a competitive racecar. Aston Martin uses it for endurance racing in both the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship.

The Valkyrie also competed in this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.
