C8 Chevy Corvette Joins the Lego Technic Catalog

Lego

Building a Chevrolet Corvette from the ground up is a hugely complicated project that requires time, skills, space, and a not-insignificant budget. Lego has a solution to solve these problems: it’s adding the eighth-generation Corvette to its catalog of Technic kits. The catch is that you’ll build a car you can’t drive.

Assigned kit number 42205 and designed for enthusiasts who are at least nine years old, the set consists of precisely 732 pieces. As part of the Technic collection, you’ll need to assemble a series of beams, gears, and pins in addition to the classic Lego bricks to put together this Corvette. When you’re done, you’ll have a yellow Stingway coupe that features a V-8 with moving pistons visible through an opening engine cover, directional front wheels (via a gear that pokes through the roof), and a working differential.

The car measures over 10.5 inches long, 5.5 inches wide, and three inches tall when finished, so it won’t hog a space in your garage. The proportions are surprisingly accurate — or they’re as accurate as you can realistically expect them to be considering we’re talking about the Lego kit, not a die-cast model. We’d argue the 1961 Corvette that Lego unveiled in 2023 was more true to form, but it wasn’t a Technic kit.

Pricing for Lego Technic’s C8 Corvette is set at $60 excluding tax, and the kit is scheduled to start shipping on March 1, 2025. Pre-orders are already open, though you can only order three kits. Lego puts a limit on orders to ensure that it has enough kits to go around and to discourage buyers from buying just to flip.

    This kit is terrible. It looks nothing like a C8 Corvette, or any other car that I can think of. I understand that the Lego kits are more “blocky” than a regular model kit, but this thing is terrible. As a Corvette owner, I am definitely NOT interested, nor would I buy it for my kids or grandkids. What were they thinking?

    Some of these look closer to the vehicle in question and some like this one look like the crash test version of the vehicle after the crash.
