NEW LEGO NISSAN GT-R NISMO. Car news.

Today the LEGO Group and Nissan revealed the new LEGO^® Speed Champions Nissan GT-R NISMO. The LEGO car is made from 298 elements and it will be available next year.

In addition to offering a wonderful and fun building and play experience, we hope the model will also inspire children to learn more about engineering and how to create things in real life. Just as engineers across decades have improved the design and performance of this car, children build, unbuild and rebuild during play – stimulating and developing crucial skills, such as creativity, resilience, problem-solving and critical thinking. Inspiring them to become the builders of tomorrow is our mission.
Said Niels B. Christiansen, LEGO Group CEO

The Nissan GT-R and the LEGO brand are both renowned and loved by fans of all ages throughout the world, and we are honored to be the first-ever Japanese car manufacturer to partner with the LEGO Group. Many of our Nissan customers can trace their automotive passion back to when they built LEGO cars as children. With this partnership, everyone can be a `takumi’ – the specialized craftsmen that build the GT-R. And, it’s the GT-R’s 50^th anniversary this year, so what better way to celebrate than to share the GT-R with Nissan and LEGO fans around the world!
Said Asako Hoshino, Executive vice president of Nissan
