LEGO SET 77245 - Alternate build | Aston Martin Aramco F1 AMR24 Race Car

May 4, 2025

Imagining what you can build when you set aside the original Aston Martin Aramco F1 AMR24 Race Car and dive into pure creativity is part of what makes LEGO so endlessly rewarding. With only the 269 pieces included in Set 77245, builders have reinvented everything from futuristic concept vehicles to robot-assisted pit crews. Here are just a few ways you can push this Speed Champions kit beyond the racetrack:

1. Concept Car Reimagined
By tweaking body panels and swapping out sleek slope elements, you can create a low-slung concept car that looks like it belongs in a cutting-edge design studio. Play with asymmetry—extend one side of the cockpit, add a dramatic rear wing or incorporate exposed “engine” details using grill and clip pieces. This approach turns the set into a platform for industrial design experimentation, showcasing how small changes can transform a familiar silhouette into something completely fresh.

2. Robot Mechanic Pit Crew
Why stop at vehicles? Use the small vehicle chassis and technic liftarms to fashion a robot pit-crew companion: think a compact, motorized machine equipped with pneumatic hoses (flex tubes and clip elements) and tool-arm attachments. That’s exactly the spirit behind the Cyberston F11, where the model isn’t just a car but a complete service system ready to swap tires or refuel in record time.

3. Modular Mashup Challenge
Pull apart the car into modular sections—front wing, cockpit, engine bay, rear diffuser—and challenge yourself to recombine them into new builds. Stack these modules vertically to create a multi-level pit stop diorama, or arrange them side by side as independent mini-vehicles (an urban speedster next to a dune-buggy concept, for instance). This exercise highlights how a limited parts palette can still yield a diverse fleet of micro-models.

4. Future Racing Drone
Take inspiration from quadcopter designs: use the wheel hubs as rotor mounts and build a drone-like frame that hovers over a racetrack diorama. Incorporate transparent panels or modified windshield pieces as cockpit domes, and use the angled pieces from the original F1 bodywork to craft aerodynamic fins. Suddenly, your Speed Champions set becomes tomorrow’s high-speed air racer.
