Aston Martin AMR24

The Aston Martin AMR24 continues the 8-wide Speed Champions formula that has made the F1 entries some of the most popular sets in the range. At roughly 269 pieces, the build takes about 30-40 minutes and follows the standard Speed Champions progression: chassis plate, cockpit tub, bodywork layering, and final aero details. What sets the AMR24 apart from its grid rivals is the dark green color scheme, which creates a striking visual as the bodywork comes together piece by piece. There is something deeply satisfying about watching British racing green materialize on your build surface - the color carries so much historical weight that the set feels important before you even finish the chassis.

The front wing and sidepod assembly are the highlights of the build. The AMR24's distinctive undercut sidepod shape required some creative element choices from the LEGO designers, and the solution uses a combination of wedge plates and slope elements that capture the team's aggressive aero philosophy in miniature. The halo device construction is clean and sturdy, and the rear wing assembly uses the two-element approach that has become standard for 2024-era Speed Champions F1 cars. The construction flows with the kind of efficient logic that makes Speed Champions so reliably enjoyable - no dead spots, no confusing steps, just a steady progression toward a recognizable result.

The build is efficient, satisfying, and delivers a result that looks like the real car. That is everything a Speed Champions build needs to be. The dark green elements create a moody, sophisticated atmosphere during construction that distinguishes the AMR24 from the brighter cars in the range. Where building a Ferrari feels celebratory and building a McLaren feels energetic, building the Aston Martin feels refined - and that tonal difference in the build experience is part of what makes collecting multiple F1 Speed Champions rewarding. Each car brings its own personality to the build table.

The AMR24 showcases a few techniques that reflect the evolving design language of the Speed Champions F1 range. The sidepod construction uses an angled wedge plate assembly that creates the undercut profile Aston Martin introduced to the real car. This is a subtle but effective use of standard elements at unusual angles, and builders who study the construction will find it applicable to any vehicle MOC requiring aerodynamic body sculpting. The undercut is one of the defining visual features of modern F1 cars, and LEGO's approach to recreating it at 8-wide scale represents a genuine technical achievement that the AMR24 executes well.

The nose cone assembly is particularly well handled. Aston Martin's front end has a distinctive shape that differs from the Red Bull and McLaren approaches, and LEGO has captured that difference through the specific combination of slope and curved elements used at the front. The printed elements cover the AMR livery markings, the Aramco sponsorship graphics, and the driver's helmet details. The cockpit surround and halo assembly demonstrate how to frame a minifigure driver position cleanly within a vehicle that is only 8 studs wide - a spatial challenge that the AMR24 handles with the same precision as the best cars in the range.

For F1 fans building a complete grid display, comparing the technique choices across different team cars is part of the appeal. The AMR24's dark green color actually makes certain structural techniques harder to see than they would be on a lighter car, which is worth noting for builders who want to study the construction methods. Building the white Haas VF-24 first and then the AMR24 second reveals structural similarities that the different color schemes would otherwise hide. The AMR24 teaches restraint in technique - doing just enough to capture the car's character without overcomplicating what is fundamentally a 269-piece Speed Champions build.

Around 269 pieces with a strong concentration of dark green elements. This is notable because dark green is not a common color in the LEGO palette, and the AMR24 provides a useful selection of slopes, wedge plates, and tiles in this shade. Builders working on military vehicles, nature scenes, or British-themed architecture will find these elements particularly welcome. Dark green is one of those colors you never seem to have enough of, and the AMR24 contributes a focused selection that addresses the most common shapes builders need in this underrepresented color.

The printed elements are set-specific and non-transferable, but the AMR livery pieces are attractive collector items in their own right. The Aston Martin wings logo and Aramco branding create printed elements with a premium feel that reflects the luxury brand positioning of the real team. The standard Speed Champions base plate, wheel assemblies, and rubber tires are consistent across the F1 range and maintain full compatibility with other Speed Champions displays.

The minifigure represents the Aston Martin driver in race suit livery with a printed helmet. The accessory count is minimal, as expected for the Speed Champions price point, but everything included serves the purpose of creating a complete, display-ready F1 car. For parts buyers, the dark green concentration is the primary value driver. If you build in dark green with any regularity, the AMR24 provides elements that would take multiple sets to accumulate otherwise. The slopes and wedge plates in particular are shapes that dark green rarely appears in across the broader LEGO catalog.

British racing green looks magnificent in the 8-wide Speed Champions format. The AMR24 has a visual presence on the shelf that stands out from the pack precisely because the dark green livery is so different from the bright reds, oranges, and blues of its grid rivals. Placed alongside the McLaren MCL38 (#77251) or the Audi F1 R26 (#77259), the AMR24 holds its own through sheer color contrast. The dark green reads as sophisticated and exclusive - qualities that align perfectly with the Aston Martin brand identity.

The proportions capture the AMR24's distinctive silhouette accurately. The aggressive sidepod undercut, the sculpted nose, and the low-profile rear wing create a car that looks fast standing still. The printed sponsorship graphics add authenticity without overwhelming the green bodywork, and the driver minifigure seated in the cockpit with the halo framing provides the scale reference that makes these miniature F1 cars so appealing. The lime green accent details, while subtle, add just enough visual contrast to keep the car from appearing as a uniform dark mass.

For a growing Speed Champions F1 grid display, the AMR24 is an essential addition. It provides the dark, luxurious anchor that balances the energetic colors of the McLaren, Ferrari, and Alpine. Without the AMR24, a grid display skews bright. With it, the collection gains a richness and depth that comes from having the full tonal range represented. The dark green also shifts beautifully under different lighting conditions - under warm light it reads as forest green, under cool light it has an almost teal quality, and under direct light the lime accents become more prominent. It is a car that changes character with its environment, which gives it a display versatility that monochromatic cars lack.

The Speed Champions F1 cars represent some of the best value in the entire LEGO range. At the standard Speed Champions price point for approximately 269 pieces, the AMR24 delivers a licensed F1 car with printed elements, a driver minifigure, and enough detail to satisfy both casual fans and dedicated F1 collectors. The build-to-display ratio is excellent - 30-40 minutes of engaging construction yields a permanent display piece that earns its shelf space immediately and continues to deliver visual enjoyment every time you walk past it.

For Aston Martin fans specifically, this is the only official LEGO representation of the AMR24, which gives it collector value beyond the bricks themselves. The licensing premium is modest compared to what you might expect for a luxury automotive brand, and the set delivers the same construction quality and display standards as the Ferrari and McLaren entries in the range. There is no sense that LEGO has cut corners to deliver an affordable Aston Martin - the AMR24 receives the same design attention as the front-running teams.

Paired with the other 2024-season Speed Champions F1 entries, you can assemble a near-complete grid that showcases the visual diversity of modern Formula 1. At this price point, the question is not whether to buy the AMR24. The question is how many other grid positions you need to fill. And if you want to see how the AMR24 fits into the full F1 landscape alongside the Icons Ferrari F2004, the Technic McLaren MCL39, and the City-scale cars, our definitive F1 ranking puts every set in perspective.

The AMR24 is for the F1 fan with refined taste. Aston Martin's return to Formula 1 brought with it a level of brand prestige that no other team on the grid can match - this is a marque with a James Bond pedigree, a Le Mans heritage, and a racing green livery that has been iconic since before most F1 teams existed. If you are drawn to F1 for its glamour and heritage as much as its speed, the AMR24 speaks your language. It is the most sophisticated-looking car in the Speed Champions F1 range, and it carries itself with the quiet confidence that defines the Aston Martin brand.

Fernando Alonso fans have a natural entry point here. While the minifigure does not represent a specific driver, the AMR24 is the car Alonso drove during the 2024 season, and for fans of one of the greatest drivers in F1 history, having his machine on the shelf carries personal significance. The AMR24 represents a chapter in Alonso's ongoing F1 story - his twilight years racing for a team with championship ambitions, trying to recapture the glory that has eluded him since 2006. That narrative weight gives the set emotional resonance beyond its physical attributes.

For builders who value rare colors, the dark green element selection makes the AMR24 a practical purchase that serves both display and parts-sourcing needs. Dark green appears in fewer LEGO sets than almost any other standard color, and the AMR24 provides shapes in that color that are difficult to find elsewhere. If your next MOC project involves any shade of green, the AMR24 is worth considering as much for its parts contribution as for its display appeal. It is a set that works on every level - display, parts, collection, and emotion.

British racing green is not just a color. It is a statement. Dating back to the early 1900s when international racing colors were assigned by nation - green for Britain, red for Italy, blue for France, white for Germany - the shade carries over a century of motorsport history. When Aston Martin returned to Formula 1 in 2021, the decision to race in green was not merely aesthetic. It was a declaration of identity, connecting the modern F1 team to the Aston Martin racing heritage that includes Le Mans victories and a motorsport legacy spanning nearly a century.

LEGO's execution of this color in the AMR24 captures something of that heritage. The dark green elements have a depth and richness that reflects the gravitas of the color's history, and the lime green accents add a contemporary edge that acknowledges Aston Martin's modern identity. On the shelf, the AMR24 looks like it belongs in a different era than the neon-bright liveries around it - and that is exactly the point. Aston Martin is racing against teams with more money, more data, and more history in the current formula, but no team on the grid carries a color with more authority.

For Speed Champions collectors, the AMR24 adds a dimension to the F1 grid display that goes beyond visual variety. It adds historical depth. A grid with the AMR24 is a grid that acknowledges Formula 1's connection to a broader motorsport tradition, where racing colors meant something about national identity and the cars themselves were expressions of engineering culture rather than just competitive tools. The AMR24 in dark green is a link between Speed Champions' modern F1 ambitions and the sport's storied past - a small model that carries a very large history.

The set includes a single Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team driver minifigure wearing the team's dark green racing suit. The torso printing features the Aston Martin wings logo, Aramco sponsor branding, and the dark green-to-lime green color transition that defines the team's 2024 visual identity. The leg printing continues the racing suit with sponsor graphics on the thighs. The dark green suit is one of the most distinctive in the Speed Champions F1 range, reflecting the British racing green heritage that Aston Martin has embraced since returning to Formula 1.

The driver's helmet is printed with Aston Martin team branding in the dark green color scheme, featuring lime green accent graphics that mirror the real-world team helmets. The updated 2025 Speed Champions helmet mold provides a clean, aerodynamic profile. An alternate hair piece is included for display without the helmet. The figure does not represent Fernando Alonso or Lance Stroll specifically, but the team-accurate printing means it slots convincingly into any Aston Martin display. This is a unique figure exclusive to this set, and the dark green printing makes it immediately distinguishable from every other driver figure in the Speed Champions F1 lineup.
