A fresh rumor from BrickFanatics.com has ignited speculation across both the LEGO and motorsport worlds: LEGO Speed Champions may introduce an Audi F1 set as early as March next year. The report—unconfirmed but detailed—includes a precise product identifier, kit number 77259, lending a level of credibility to what would be LEGO’s first model tied to Audi’s incoming 2026 F1 program.
Audi revealed its R26 Concept in Munich last week at the brand’s Audi One event, giving fans an early look at the design direction of its future F1 challenger. Even so, insiders suggest the livery and aerodynamic details shown on that concept are not final. Key sponsor logos and updated branding—particularly with Audi’s growing roster of technical and commercial partners such as Revolut, bp and adidas—are still expected to evolve before the team’s full competition car is revealed.
That remaining uncertainty is precisely what makes this LEGO rumor fascinating. Speed Champions sets must be locked down months before release, allowing time for production, packaging, and worldwide distribution. If LEGO’s Audi F1 kit truly arrives in March, the design would have had to be finalized late this year—potentially before Audi makes it public.
It wouldn’t be the first time LEGO kit packaging has revealed critical details. In the Marvel film world, kit art has repeatedly provided early details of characters, costumes, and vehicles ahead of studio announcements. And in the LEGO ecosystem itself, images of several 2026 sets—such as new Back to the Future DeLorean and Lightning McQueen kits—have already surfaced ahead of schedule through distribution channels. If an Audi F1 Speed Champions set enters that same pipeline, fans may glimpse the real-world team livery before any official release from Hinwil or Ingolstadt unveil.
For the purpose of this story, ooooIYKYK produced its own AI-generated rendering of what such a kit might look like based on the R26 concept, but that image is purely speculative and not based on the actual LEGO design.
For now, the existence of LEGO Speed Champions 77259 Audi F1 remains unverified—but the details are specific enough, and the timing compelling enough, that its worth paying attention next time you’re in the LEGO aisle or perusing your favorite Lego fan site.
