Cranes, excavators and supercars: the models in the theme

LEGO Technic is built around mechanical models: construction machinery, trucks, sports cars and flying machines. Cranes and excavators hold a central place, with the 42100 Liebherr R 9800 Excavator, the 42082 Rough Terrain Crane and the 42131 Cat D11 Bulldozer. On the automotive side, there are the 42083 Bugatti Chiron, the 42115 Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, the 42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3 and the 42172 McLaren P1.

To choose between versions, our LEGO BMW, LEGO Porsche, LEGO Lamborghini and LEGO Ferrari guides compare the sets by piece count, launch price and year.

The 2026 releases carry on in the same vein with the 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar, the 42222 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Hypercar, the 42218 John Deere 1470H Wheeled Harvester, the 42219 Monster Jam Grave Digger Fire and Ice and the 42221 NASA Artemis Space Launch System Rocket.
