LEGO has released a new Chevy Corvette Stingray set in its Technic line. We’ve seen the C8.R race car offered in a LEGO set with a C2 as part of its Speed Champions model line, but this is the first time a production C8 model has been available in LEGO form.
Intended for ages nine and up, “Boys, girls, and fans of exciting car toys can have fun assembling the realistic details before exploring the authentic features,” LEGO says in the product listing. A few features of the model include opening doors, a moving V8 and differential, and a real steering rack.
The 732-piece set measures over three inches high, 10.5 inches long, and 5.5 inches wide for a proper sports car-like stance. The real-life paint color that the model most closely resembles is Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic (GBK), which is a $995 premium paint option across the 2025 Chevy Corvette model range.
This LEGO set is a tie-in with the mobile game Asphalt Legends Units, in which you can drive a C8 Corvette Stingray. It’s designated a class C car alongside comparable performance cars like the BMW M4, Dodge Viper, and Porsche Boxster. The C7 Grand Sport, C7 ZR1, and C7.R are also available in the game.
The LEGO Technic Chevy Corvette Stingray is available now for pre-order for $59.99. It will ship on March 1st, 2025. Orders are capped at three per customer to ensure there are enough sets for everyone who wants one.
The last LEGO Technic Corvette set was a C7 ZR1 that came out in late 2018 in conjunction with the one-model-year 2019 C7 ZR1. It was similar to this set in the sense that it had functional doors, a steering rack, and a moving V8. It was also similar in the sense that it arguably didn’t look all that much like the real car it’s based on, but some LEGO enthusiasts might see that as a good thing.
How closely do you think this LEGO model resembles the real-life C8 Corvette? Let us know in the comments.

I feel like the LEGO Corvette kits have always been botched. The C7 ZR1 was almost a joke in my opinion. The Corvette kits are always so small, and the designers can never get enough detail into the build. Until they do a 1/8 scale or 1/10 scale size build, they will always look scrunched up. Something to look forward to I guess, but being that LEGO is a European brand, I’m not holding my breath.
Should have given it the diesel
Where do I order the C8 models from? Nice story but how about finishing the information.
Google: Lego C8
Looks terrible.
If they had just made this look like a C8, I’d get one. This looks like a cutaway of some sort, hardly anything anyone would recognize off the bat.
Ugliest model I’ve ever seen. Surely not a representation of the gorgeous Corvette C8.
I mostly agree, but subjectively, the C7 ZR1 LEGO might have been worse lol.
Yellow, really??? Let me know when it’s available in torch red.
I will rather pay more for a well designed kit rather than this ugly one…
Did this thing get caught in the LA fires before approval? Do you think Disney would do a Mickey Mouse Lego set where his ears were connected to his back? Who was the bingbong in Corvette marketing that would approve a thrashed Corvette model?
The Speed Champions Corvette Lego set reference in the first paragraph came with a C8R and a stock 1968, which is a C3, not a C2 as the writer claims.
I’m a Lego fan and while I’m not overly impressed with this model, it does look a little better than the C7 offered a few years ago. The red 1961 Corvette they came out with about two years ago was pretty decent…except for the hardtop. I was really hoping for a C8 in their Technic Supercar series like the Lamborghini Sian, McLaren P1 and Ferrari Daytona SP3. They’re expensive at $400+, but they’re fun and challenging builds that come out pretty nice.
