Lego’s Technic 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline Is The First Set With A Drift Function

Another Fast & Furious movie is speeding into theaters next year, but this year you can take a trip down memory lane with the Lego 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. Based on the supercar driven by Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) in the 2003 film, it’s shaping up to be a must-have for Lego collectors and fans of the high-octane movies. Preorders are now open ahead of its release on June 1.

$140 | Releases June 1

This highly detailed model includes a 6-cylinder engine with moving pistons, three hidden NOS bottles, and a unique drift function that’s the first ever incorporated in a Lego Technic set. This will raise the car up from the ground, allowing you to recreate your favorite scenes from the movie.

The completed model is 16 inches long–so if you plan to use it as a display piece, be sure to clear plenty of space on your table or entertainment center. At 1,410 pieces, it should keep you busy for quite some time.

The Lego Technic 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 is actually the second Lego set based on vehicle. There’s also the smaller Lego Speed Champions version of the vehicle that’s only 319 pieces. While it’s a more compact and less detailed model compared to the upcoming Technic version, it’s worth considering if you want a more casual build–especially while it’s discounted to just $20 (normally $25) at Amazon.

The new 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 also isn’t the only 2 Fast 2 Furious Lego set arriving on June 1. If you want a companion for the new Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 set, check out the Lego Speed Champions Honda S2000 driven by Suki (Devon Aoki) in the movie. Just like its on-screen counterpart, the car sports a vibrant pink coat of paint and intricate interior details, and the set includes a minifigure of Suki. Preorders are available for $27.

If you’re looking for another Lego Technic Fast & Furious set to match the new Skyline GT-R R34, there’s 1,077-piece this set based on the Charger driven by Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel). There’s also a smaller Lego Speed Champions version that’s just 345 pieces and comes with a Dom minifigure. Lego retired both sets a while back, but you can still find both from third-party resellers at Walmart.

We’ve rounded up all these Lego Fast & Furious sets below. You’ll also find a list of Fast & Furious Blu-ray deals if you want to catch up on the action ahead of next year’s Fast 11.
