LEGO Technic Zooms into ‘Fast and Furious’ Deal

Dom’s Dodge Charger has become a LEGO Technic set.

April 1, 2020

The LEGO Group and Universal Brand Development have revealed the first LEGO set inspired by the “Fast and Furious” franchise, the LEGO Technic Dom’s Dodge Charger. The 1,077-piece replica of street racer Dominic Toretto’s 1970 Dodge Charger R/T will provide a new building challenge as fans gear up for the latest instalment in the

saga – “F9,” which hits theaters around the world beginning April 2021.

"The high-octane action of the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise has captured the hearts and imaginations of petrol-heads the world over,” says Samuel Tacchi, designer, LEGO Technic Dom’s Dodge Charger. “We want to inspire people of all ages to explore their creativity through building whatever their passion is, and we know fans of LEGO Technic and the blockbuster franchise love cool cars and adrenaline-fueled fun. Brought together by that same passion, we worked really closely with the Universal team to bring Dom’s Dodge Charger to life in the most minute detail to inspire ‘Fast and Furious’ fans and LEGO Technic builders around the world.”

The

authentic replica of Dom’s all-time favorite car is packed with the same details seen in the films. Just like the full-size version, the hood of the LEGO Technic Dom’s Dodge Charger pops open to reveal the V8 engine. Fans can feel like they’re in the garage with Dom fixing up his latest project as they build moving pistons, double wishbone suspension, a wheelie bar to show off the car’s best moves and (of course) put the nitro bottles in the trunk. If things get too hot, there’s a fire extinguisher in the cockpit too.

The set is available to preorder now from

LEGO.com

and from Amazon, Smyths, The Entertainer, The Hut Group and Game in the U.K. It will be available to buy globally on April 27.
