Every LEGO® Speed Champions JDM Icons Set

Three LEGO® Speed Champions sets capture cars that grew up under Japan's old gentlemen's agreement that capped declared horsepower at 276 — the era when Japan's domestic-market performance cars were known to make far more than they were officially allowed to claim. The R34 Skyline GT-R, the AP1 Honda S2000, and the R35 GT-R NISMO are the only three Japanese performance icons in the Speed Champions line, and two of them carry the same Universal Pictures film franchise licence.

The JDM-icon bracket is small in the LEGO® Speed Champions catalogue and large in the wider car-enthusiast world. Every car on this page is a household name in tuning circles, in import scenes, and in any car-game grid built after 1999 — and yet only three have ever been licensed by Nissan or Honda for Speed Champions sets.

Two of the three sets carry a film licence as well as a car-maker licence. 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 (LEGO® 76917, 2023) is the silver R34 Brian O'Conner drives in 2003 — by reputation the most-cited car in the Fast & Furious franchise, and the standard-bearer for the late-1990s Japanese performance era. 2 Fast 2 Furious Honda S2000 (LEGO® 77241, 2025) is Suki's cherry-blossom AP1 — the F20C-engined roadster Honda built to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary, scaled at 9,000 rpm.

The third set has no film tie-in, only a road-going one. Nissan GT-R NISMO (LEGO® 76896, 2020) is the R35 — Nissan's modern flagship, built in Tochigi by hand-assembled VR38DETT engines, and the direct lineal descendant of the R34 Skyline. The NISMO badge denotes the most aggressive trim, with stiffer suspension and a higher rev limit. Together with the two film cars, this set traces a 25-year arc from the R34 era to the R35 era — the same brand engineering team, two distinct generations of approach to making fast Japanese cars.

Every set on this page is 8-stud, every car has rear-drive (or AWD with rear bias), and every one was retired or is approaching end-of-line by 2026. If you want a JDM shelf, the time to assemble it is now.
