Set #75876 2016 743 pieces 6-stud Retired

The 1970 Porsche 917K won Porsche’s first overall Le Mans — the start of a winning streak that ran (with interruptions) into the 21st century. The 2015 919 Hybrid won the same race 45 years later — a victory that mathematically completed Porsche’s 17th overall Le Mans win. This Speed Champions set pairs them with a pit-lane diorama including a fuel rig and crew minifigures.

Porsche's two greatest Le Mans cars, fifty years apart. The 1970 Porsche 917K is the car that finally won Le Mans for Porsche after years of trying — Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood bringing the Salzburg-livery 917 home for the marque's first overall victory at La Sarthe. The 2015 Porsche 919 Hybrid is the modern descendant: a 2.0-litre V4 plus two energy recovery systems, winning Le Mans three years running (2015, 2016, 2017) and the WEC manufacturers' title in the same span. The pit-lane scene captures Porsche's unbroken Le Mans story across half a century.

LMP1 LE MANS WINNER

Porsche 919 Hybrid

Porsche’s 17th Le Mans

The 919’s 2015 Le Mans win was Porsche’s first since 1998 — 17 years off the top step of the podium. It came with the team’s 17th overall Le Mans victory in marque history. Drivers were Earl Bamber, Nick Tandy and Nico Hülkenberg.

The 919 went on to win the 2016 and 2017 Le Mans events as well, before Porsche withdrew the LMP1 programme to redirect resources to Formula E.

LE MANS HISTORY

Porsche 917K

Porsche’s first Le Mans winner

The 917K was a Group 5 sports prototype with a 4.5-litre flat-12 (later 4.9 and 5.0-litre) producing about 600 hp. It won Le Mans in 1970 (Hans Herrmann / Richard Attwood, Salzburg car) and 1971 (Helmut Marko / Gijs van Lennep, Martini Racing).

The 917K’s Gulf Oil livery (light blue with orange stripe) is one of the most-recognisable racing colour schemes ever; the 1970 Le Mans winner wore Porsche Salzburg red-and-white. The car’s 386.7 km/h Mulsanne Straight top speed remains a Le Mans circuit record under the original layout.

People

Two Le Mans wins, 45 years apart, both built on engineering by people who became Porsche legends. The names below tie each car back to the people who put it on the top step.

Hans Herrmann

917K co-driver, 1970 Le Mans winner

Herrmann shared the 917K with Richard Attwood for Porsche's first overall Le Mans victory in 1970 — a win that justified twenty years of Porsche's Le Mans investment. He retired from racing immediately after, on his wife's request; he kept the promise.

Hans Mezger

Engine designer (917 + early 919 lineage)

Mezger designed the flat-twelve in the 917 and laid the engineering culture at Weissach that the 919's hybrid power-unit team inherited. The two engines in this set — flat-12 air-cooled vs V4 turbo-hybrid — bookend the era of his department.

Earl Bamber

919 Hybrid driver, 2015 Le Mans winner

Bamber, then a junior factory driver, took the #19 919 Hybrid to a 2015 Le Mans win alongside Nick Tandy and Nico Hülkenberg — Porsche's first overall victory at La Sarthe in 17 years. The car in this set wears the white-red-black livery of that 2015 season.

The build

The 917K — curves and Salzburg colours

The 917K is the more visually expressive of the two builds. Its short-tail bodywork uses sloped 2×2 elements layered to deliver the swooping fender curve that defined the 1970-71 Le Mans cars. The white-and-red Salzburg livery is split between printed pieces (the Porsche shield, the #23) and stickers (the long red flank stripe).

The five-spoke wheel face is a printed tile to match the magnesium wheels of the original. The driver/passenger compartment is open-cockpit Le Mans Group 5 style — no interior detail, but the windscreen has the right curvature to read as 1970-spec.

The 919 Hybrid — angles and aero

The 919 build leans on printed angled slopes and small wing elements to capture the LMP1-H's cab-forward, aero-shaped silhouette. The white-red-black 2015 livery is mostly stickers — the Porsche script across the engine cover, the #19, the small Michelin wordmarks.

The closed-cockpit profile is rendered with a curved windshield element and a tunneled-roof airbox piece. Builders have noted the front fenders fit precisely — there's no slop in the build at the wheel arches, unusual for an LMP1 silhouette at this scale.

The pit-lane diorama

The diorama is one of the best-developed in the 6-stud era: a tyre rack stocked with four mounted wheels, a fuel rig with articulated hose, three crew minifigures in printed Porsche team uniforms, and a small pit-wall with team monitors. The setup reads as Le Mans pit lane rather than a standard F1 garage.

Display pairing: 75876 reads strongest alongside 75887 (Porsche 919 Hybrid solo, 2017) and 76916 (Porsche 963, 2023) — three generations of Porsche prototype hardware in a single shelf-line.

FAQ

Is LEGO® set 75876 still available?

75876 was discontinued in 2018. It is no longer available from LEGO® direct; secondary-market prices on BrickLink and StockX consistently sit well above the original RRP for sealed sets.

How big is the LEGO® Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit Lane when built?

Speed Champions cars are 8-stud wide and built models typically measure around 14–18 cm long. For exact built dimensions of set 75876, check the LEGO.com product page or BrickLink catalog entry.

How many pieces does LEGO® set 75876 have?

LEGO® set 75876 contains 743 pieces. This set does not include a minifigure.

Is this a 6-stud or 8-stud LEGO® Speed Champions set?

This is a 6-stud-wide Speed Champions car. LEGO® used the 6-stud width from the line's launch in 2015 through 2019. The standard switched to 8-stud width in 2020, so 6-stud cars are now collector-favourite snapshots of the original line.
