If you have people in your life who have a fascination for four wheels, or you yourself are an auto lover, then you probably dedicate a huge chunk of your time reading about the latest supercar by your favorite car manufacturer to learn about the car’s specs, performance and dimensions. For you, there is nothing more exciting than driving a car and improving its performance through modifications. But if you don't have your dream car yet, the next best thing to get are LEGO sets that will let you build whatever vehicle you fancy using hundreds to thousand of LEGO pieces.

Over the years, LEGO has released several models that are designed to appeal to gearheads, both young and old. Many of the advanced car models are released under the LEGO Technic line. These LEGO models are created with car enthusiasts in mind, which is why they have more complex technical functions compare with other LEGO themes.
