Legomakes a lot of sets based on cars and other vehicles. Sometimes, it’s real cars that the designers have re-created. For example, there are plenty of Ferrari Lego sets. Other times, it’s an entirely original ride or one based on a movie car.
Regardless of the inspiration, plenty of these sets are excellent. After all, Lego cars are very versatile. They can often be used as either display pieces or toys rather easily.
