Set #77259 2026 216 pieces 8-stud Current

LEGO® Speed Champions set 77259 is a 216-piece replica of the Audi Revolut F1 Team R26, Audi’s 2026 Formula 1 chassis. The set marks Audi AG’s arrival in Formula 1 — the first Volkswagen Group brand in the championship since BMW Sauber wound down in 2009 — and the first new manufacturer power unit homologated under the 2026 regulations. The R26 takes over the entry slot previously held by Sauber following the multi-year transition agreement signed by Audi in 2022, and runs Revolut as title sponsor through to at least 2028.

THE F1 CAR

Audi Revolut F1 Team R26

Audi’s F1 debut chassis under the 2026 regulations

Audi confirmed its Formula 1 entry in October 2022 through a phased acquisition of the Sauber team in Hinwil, Switzerland — the same site that had run Alfa Romeo branding from 2018 to 2023. Audi Sport built the team’s first power unit at its dedicated F1 facility in Neuburg an der Donau, Germany, the first Audi-developed engine for top-line single-seaters since the LMP1 R18 e-tron quattro programme ended in 2016. The 2026 regulations were drafted with Audi’s entry partly in mind: the new power-unit specification splits energy delivery roughly 50/50 between the 1.6L V6 turbo internal-combustion engine and the electric motor-generator unit, with no MGU-H, and runs on 100% sustainable fuels.

The R26 is the first car to carry the Audi name on a Formula 1 grid. Revolut signed as title sponsor in 2025 in a multi-year deal that gives the team the unwieldy formal name “Audi Revolut F1 Team” for race entries. Driver line-up was confirmed in late 2024 with one factory-promoted Audi LMDh / Formula E driver and one carry-over from the late-Sauber era. Audi targets a top-half finish in the constructors’ championship by 2028 — deliberately conservative for a first-year entry, reflecting both the regulation change and the multi-year transition from Sauber’s baseline.

Engine: Audi-designed 1.6L V6 turbo-hybrid (2026 regulations, no MGU-H)
Energy split (2026 regs): Approximately 50% ICE / 50% electric
Fuel: 100% sustainable (mandatory under 2026 regs)
Team base: Hinwil, Switzerland (chassis) / Neuburg an der Donau, Germany (engine)

The build

A 216-piece debut-year F1 car at 8-stud scale

77259 is rated 9+ and runs to 216 pieces — slightly fewer than the rest of the 2026 F1 grid wave on parts count, in line with debut-year Speed Champions F1 sets historically. The Audi Revolut livery is rendered through a mix of printed and stickered red/white/black panels, with the four-rings Audi logo printed on the nose. The build retains the F1-grid cockpit-opening play feature and printed tyre-wall markings.

First LEGO® Audi F1 car

Audi has been a regular Speed Champions brand since 2016 — 75872 R18 e-tron quattro (Le Mans winner), 75873 R8 LMS ultra (GT3 race car), 76897 1985 Sport quattro S1 (Group B rally) and 76921 Audi S1 e-tron quattro Dakar (rally raid). 77259 is the first Audi Speed Champions car to represent a Formula 1 entry. The 2026 regulations push the line-up toward more electric power and cleaner aerodynamics, and the R26’s narrower sidepods and revised front wing reflect that.
