Which Lego theme features licensed cars from brands like Ferrari?

LEGO Speed Champions is the LEGO theme that features licensed cars from brands such as Ferrari. It focuses on brick-built models of real-world performance, racing, and road cars rather than imaginary vehicles.

The theme launched on March 1, 2015, after LEGO announced partnerships with Ferrari, McLaren, and Porsche. Its first wave included models such as the LaFerrari, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, Ferrari F14 T, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder. These sets were designed to give children and car enthusiasts recognizable vehicles in LEGO form.

Speed Champions models originally used a six-stud-wide scale. LEGO later moved to an eight-stud-wide format, allowing designers to include more shaping, interior detail, and authentic features while keeping the cars compatible with minifigure-scale play.

A common mix-up is confusing Speed Champions with LEGO City or LEGO Technic. City emphasizes everyday urban life, while Technic uses advanced mechanisms. Speed Champions is defined by licensed automotive replicas, including Ferrari models and many other major brands.
