LaFerrari

One of the first six LEGO® Speed Champions sets — a 164-piece miniature of Ferrari's hybrid V12 hypercar.

Set #75899 2015 164 pieces 6-stud Retired

75899 was part of the launch wave that introduced LEGO® Speed Champions in March 2015 and ran until 31 December 2016 — making it one of the shortest-lived sets in the theme. The real LaFerrari was Ferrari's first hybrid road car, succeeding the Enzo as the brand's halo flagship. Brix Plus presents this set as a piece of LEGO® Speed Champions launch history.

THE ROAD CAR

Ferrari LaFerrari

6.3L V12 hybrid hypercar — Ferrari's first HY-KERS production car

LaFerrari was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show as the production successor to the Enzo, F50 and F40 lineage of Ferrari halo cars. Its name — translated literally as 'The Ferrari' — reflected the company's claim that it represented the apex of every Ferrari engineering discipline. Production was limited to 499 coupés (later expanded with the Aperta convertible variant, capped at 209 units), all sold by invitation to existing Ferrari clients before the public reveal — confirmed on Ferrari.com and Brickset's set notes for 75899.

Powertrain was a 6.3-litre naturally-aspirated V12 producing 588 kW (789 hp) on its own, paired with a 120 kW (161 hp) HY-KERS electric motor for a combined output of 708 kW (949 hp), all documented on Ferrari.com. The carbon fibre tub was hand-laid at Maranello using techniques borrowed from Ferrari's F1 programme. Top speed was over 350 km/h with 0-100 km/h in under 3 seconds and 0-200 km/h in under 7 seconds — the latter being the figure that distinguished LaFerrari most clearly from rivals.

75899 was one of the six original launch sets when LEGO® introduced Speed Champions in March 2015 — alongside 75909 McLaren P1, 75910 Porsche 918 Spyder, 75911 McLaren Mercedes Pit Stop, and 75912 Porsche 911 GT Finish Line. Per Brickset, it was retired by the end of 2016 — making this LEGO® LaFerrari a sought-after early piece of the theme's history.

People

Two Ferrari figures shape LaFerrari's story: the chief designer who drew it and the technical director who delivered the V12-hybrid powertrain.

Flavio Manzoni

DESIGN DIRECTOR, FERRARI (2010–PRESENT)

Manzoni led Ferrari's Centro Stile design for LaFerrari, the F12berlinetta, and subsequent halo cars including the F8 Tributo and SF90 Stradale. His brief for LaFerrari was to break sharply from the Enzo's wedge profile and create a more sculpted, fluid form — a brief he documented in interviews with Top Gear and Road & Track at the time of launch. The signature curved roof and integrated rear wing of LaFerrari are his most-cited details, both visible in the silhouette of LEGO® 75899.

Roberto Fedeli

TECHNICAL DIRECTOR, FERRARI (2008–2014)

Fedeli ran Ferrari's road-car engineering during LaFerrari's development. He had previously been chief engineer for the 458 Italia and was responsible for integrating the HY-KERS hybrid system from Ferrari's F1 programme into a road-going V12 — a then-novel solution that would later inform every Ferrari plug-in hybrid, including the SF90 Stradale family modelled in LEGO® 77254. He left Ferrari for BMW in 2014, just as LaFerrari deliveries began. See Brickset 75899.

The build

Scale and era

75899 sits in the original LEGO® Speed Champions launch wave from March 2015. It is the very first Ferrari ever produced in Speed Champions — predating the F40 (75890), the 488 GTE, and every modern Ferrari released through to the SF-24 (77242).

Build highlights

The launch-wave aesthetic is visible in 75899's relatively basic detailing — printed wheel hubs and a simple two-piece body shell. Later Speed Champions Ferraris would add printed door panels and more intricate front splitters; 75899 is closer in feel to early-2010s LEGO® City than to the 2017+ Speed Champions evolution.

What the 164 pieces buys you

164 pieces is at the lower end of the 6-stud era — a 15–25 minute build. The compact piece count reflects both LaFerrari's simple silhouette and the launch-wave's deliberately accessible parts count.
