LEGO Technic set 42125 represents the Ferrari 488 GTE "AF Corse #51", an endurance racing car. Released in 2021 within the Technic theme, it contains 1684 pieces and is designed as a detailed automotive model for building and display.
The Ferrari 488 GTE "AF Corse #51" brings a licensed Ferrari racing subject into the LEGO Technic theme. Rather than presenting a generic sports car, the set is identified as a specific endurance racing car, with AF Corse and the race number 51 forming part of its stated identity.
This set appears in our LEGO Ferrari guide, which places it against the other versions.
Its construction follows the Technic approach, using beams, axles, connectors and body panels to create the internal build and exterior shape.
This model is best suited to builders interested in Technic vehicles, Ferrari subjects and racing car display models. It is less about character based play and more about the assembled vehicle as a collectible object. Within Technic, it sits among licensed automotive sets and contrasts with construction machinery, utility vehicles and models built around a different type of vehicle subject.
