LEGOโ€™s Top Gear Rally Car Is Smartphone Controlled

โ€” Updated on 29 January 2023

LEGO has partnered with BBC Studios for the first-ever range of Top Gear-inspired LEGO sets. 

Created by the LEGO Technic division (responsible for more technically advanced LEGO), the first release is the Top Gear GT Rally Car, a realistic copy of a classic rally car with a hatchback shape, over the top sticker package, roll cage and chunky wheels. 

Not only does it look exactly like a real-life racer, but the real game-changer is that the 463-piece motorised creation can also be controlled via your phone. 

Users can download the Lego Technic Control+ app and remotely control the rally car from their smartphone โ€“ including forward, reverse and gyro control. You can even participate in challenges and earn achievements through the app.

โ€œItโ€™s exciting to have collaborated with LEGO Technic on this and itโ€™s a very natural fit for the Top Gear brand,โ€ said Jason Easy, Head of Licensing UK, BBC Studios. โ€œThe LEGO Technic Top Gear Rally Car is the result of several months hard work from the LEGO and BBC Studios teams and we canโ€™t wait to see it on the shelves soon.โ€

The LEGO Top Gear Rally Car will retail for US$129 (AU$189) and be released globally on December 26. For more information head to lego.com.
