From Big Block to Small Blocks: LEGO to Roll Out New Corvette Z06 Kit

The popularity of the new Z06 has earned the car yet another coveted honor.

Yup, the track-focused Corvette is racing into the world of LEGO, with the company’s new line of Speed Champions Kits.

No word on how many pieces will be included in the kit to build the Chevy, but the car will certainly be in good company, with a slew of other new LEGO cars revving up for launch, like the Audi R18 E-tron Quattro and Porsche 919 Hybrid.

Of course, none have the iconic appeal of the ‘Vette. And at a reported cost of $14.99, it looks like I’ll finally be able to afford that cool Z06 I’ve been dreaming about for years.

Hey, don’t knock it. Big dreams have to start somewhere, and this one seems a lot more realistic for me (and probably most others) than trying to come up with $80,000 or so for a real model.
