Max Verstappen’s 2024 title-winning Red Bull is one of the most popular Formula 1 cars LEGO has ever made. While the real car was not quite as dominant as the RB19, it did propel Max Verstappen<\/a> to his fourth F1 championship title. It is still on sale if you fancy yourself a bit of F1 history on your mantel.<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/p>\n

The LEGO Technic Oracle Red Bull Racing<\/a> RB20 F1 Car is a large-scale model of the car Verstappen drove to his latest world championship title in 2024. In it, he won nine grands prix.<\/p>\n

It’s made up of 1639 pieces and has an age rating of 18+. When fully built, it measures a huge 64cm long, 25cm wide and 15cm high. This makes it a perfect display piece with plenty of detail for those who have a closer peek.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

How much does it cost?<\/p>\n

It costs \u00a3199.99 in the UK<\/a> and $229.99 in the United States<\/a>. It first appeared on sale in March 2025, but is still on sale\u00a0at LEGO.com. But due to its popularity, it’s sold out in most outlets.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWhat does it do?<\/p>\n

Technic cars are serious bits of kit, and the RB20 is no different. It includes:<\/p>\n

A V6 engine with moving pistons and a spinning MGU-H
\nA two-speed gearbox with neutral, linked to a rear differential
\nSteering that turns both the front wheels and the steering wheel
\nPull-rod front and push-rod rear suspension, as on the real car
\nA rear wing with a DRS flap that opens by hand
\nRemovable rear bodywork so you can show off the engine<\/p>\n

The tyres even boast printed Pirelli detailing, and the livery is made up of two large sheets of stickers.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWhat is the build like?<\/p>\n

The set comes in 10 bags with each one building a section of the car. The rear suspension, engine, nose and even sidepods are built in extreme detail. Unfortunately for eagle-eyed fans, the front and rear tyres are the same size unlike the real car, and the colours aren’t quite spot on. But despite this, it’s a LEGO model that every F1 fan should be eyeing up.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIs there a cheaper option?<\/p>\n

Yes, but it’s not quite as tasty as this full-fat Technic version. The LEGO Speed Champions version is made of 251 pieces and comes with a Red Bull driver minifigure. It sells for around $27 in the US<\/a> for those looking for a more budget-friendly way to build one of the best looking cars of the ground effect era.<\/p>\n
