LEGO Technic: new wave of sets on pre-order (August 2026)

LEGO Technic is preparing a trio of car sets for summer 2026, now available to pre-order from partner shops. Three well-known sports cars (Ford Mustang GT, Dodge Viper GTS-R, Ferrari 488 Pista) join the range, with piece counts between 805 and 973. Release is expected in August 2026.

The main set of the wave

Custom Garage Ford Mustang GT (42236)

The lead set of the August 2026 Technic wave is a customisable Ford Mustang GT with 973 pieces. Its particular feature is a double set of bodywork pieces included in the box: a classic paint scheme on one side, graffiti-style patterns on the other, which can be combined freely to customise the finish. It has realistic steering and a V8 engine with moving pistons, and is aimed at builders aged 10 and up. It is the set with the most mechanical elements in the wave.

The rest of the wave

Ferrari 488 Pista (42235)

The Italian sports car has 822 pieces and uses the usual Technic features: a differential linked to a V8 engine with moving pistons, steering controlled by a knob on top, and an opening bonnet and doors that show the interior. The brand's typical red body means the model can be displayed as it is, without needing a particular spot to show it off. The set is recommended for ages 9 and up.

Dodge Viper GTS-R Sports Car (42234)

805 pieces for the most recognisable American coupé in the range, with a V10 engine with moving pistons, a differential and a prominent rear wing. The doors and bonnet open to show the mechanics, and the set is aimed at builders aged 10 and up. Next to the Ferrari 488 Pista in a display cabinet, it offers a contrasting approach for anyone who wants to line up two very different sports cars.

The release is announced for August 2026 and pre-orders are open at partner shops.
