Despite a strong start to the 2023 season, the Aston Martin Aramco F1 team has seen some regression in performance during the 2024 season. But will this affect the appeal of the Speed Champions 77245 Aston Martin Aramco F1 AMR24?
Even so, with the signing of stars like 2-time world champion Fernando Alonso and top engineer Adrian Newey, the British racing team has a lot of potential in the coming years. This will undoubtedly attract a growing number of loyal fans.
The AMR24 retains the classic British racing green livery, a color scheme that has already appeared in the LEGO Speed Champions lineup, offering an interesting comparison for collectors. Whether you’re looking to expand your collection or show off this car in a LEGO Speed Champions display, this set is bound to catch the eye. Let’s take a closer look at what makes it stand out!
77245 Aston Martin Aramco F1 AMR24 Set Details
Unboxing the case
The box is the standard size for all the 2025 Speed Champions F1 sets, featuring an exciting image of the AMR24 speeding along a racetrack. On the back, you'll find the typical layout, showcasing alternate angles of the model and offering a comparison to the real car. For collectors, this makes for a great way to present the model when placed in a LEGO Speed Champions display.
Inside the box, you'll find the typical contents — an instruction manual, a sticker sheet, a loose chassis piece, and six numbered plastic bags. The instruction manual includes the usual comparison image, contrasting the length of the real car with that of the LEGO version. There are quite a few stickers included, many of which are small and will require a bit of expertise and precision to apply neatly. Once your Speed Champions AMR24 is complete, it will look fantastic in a LEGO Speed Champions display.
Building
Bags 1 and 2 include the driver minifigure and build the central section of the model. Bags 3 and 4 continue expanding this part, adding the crucial sidepods. As you progress through the build, you’ll appreciate how well these pieces come together, making it a great addition to your LEGO Speed Champions display.
Finally, bags 5 and 6 complete the model, adding the finishing touches to the build. Once fully assembled, it will look amazing in any LEGO Speed Champions display.
As with all the sets in the Speed Champions F1 lineup, this set features a range of ingenious build techniques, including a clever design for mounting the rear wheels. This method has become a standard inclusion across the other Speed Champions F1 sets as well! It's these thoughtful details that make the build even more enjoyable and impressive when displayed in a LEGO Speed Champions display.
Minifigures
The included minifigure features a new dual-molded helmet that looks fantastic, complete with the printed Aston Martin logo on top. However, the torso and legs lack detail, with minimal printed elements. It would have been great to see sponsor logos printed on the minifigure or, at the very least, some stitching design to add visual interest.
The completed model looks great overall, with a sleek, swooping design achieved through a combination of curved slopes and clever build techniques. However, there are a couple of design choices that may spark debate when it comes to accuracy. The most obvious is the choice of green to represent the metallic green shade of the real car. This is the same color used on last year’s AMR23 LEGO model, which divided fan opinion at the time. Interestingly, this green was reportedly chosen by Aston Martin themselves.
A look at the underside reveals some of the interesting techniques used, especially to achieve the flat yet angled design of the underfloor. These clever building methods are part of what makes the LEGO Speed Champions models so appealing. When displayed in a LEGO Speed Champions display, these details really stand out and show off the ingenuity behind the design.
The cockpit follows a pretty standard design, though it’s a tight fit for the minifigure! The all-green design of the minifigure blends seamlessly with the green sections of the livery, creating a cohesive look.
Comparisons
Given that the real-life livery barely changed between the AMR23 and AMR24, I was excited to compare their respective LEGO models and see what a year could bring in terms of improvements. While both models look similar from a distance, the small upgrades—like the larger rear wheels and slightly increased size—make the new model stand out just a bit more. The design of the rear wing is a major upgrade as well, looking sleeker and much more accurately shaped.
Final
-
Colour Controversy: The green colour might be a point of debate, but I believe it’s the best representation within the LEGO colour palette. Given that LEGO tends to lean towards brighter hues, this shade fits well, even if it’s not a perfect match to the real car.
-
Appeal to Fans: While this set may not be the first pick for everyone—unless you're a dedicated Alonso fan—it still looks fantastic as part of the Speed Champions lineup. It definitely stands out as an improvement over last year's AMR23 model.
