Danish toy giant LEGO has officially unveiled its latest Technic series set, the "42235 Ferrari 488 Pista." This highly anticipated model is set to release on August 1, 2026, with a suggested retail price of $64.99 USD and comprises 882 pieces.
The Ferrari 488 Pista stands as the pinnacle performance variant within Ferrari's acclaimed 488 series. Its name, "Pista," meaning "track" in Italian, directly signifies its purpose: an ultimate machine engineered for unparalleled track performance within the 488 lineage. Powering this beast is a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, unleashing a formidable 720 horsepower and rocketing from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in a blistering 2.85 seconds. It's renowned as one of Ferrari's most aggressive production sports cars, embodying the brand's legendary racing heritage.
This LEGO Technic rendition meticulously captures the Ferrari 488 Pista's iconic streamlined body using all 882 pieces. It boasts an array of functional mechanical features: lift the hood to reveal a detailed V8 engine complete with working pistons, coupled with a fully functional differential transmission system that accurately mimics a real sports car's power delivery. A conveniently placed knob on the roof allows for precise front-wheel steering, offering builders an engaging simulated driving experience. Furthermore, the doors open to showcase the exquisitely detailed interior cabin.
Also releasing alongside the Ferrari is another exciting set in the same series: the "42234 Dodge Viper GTS-R" ($64.99 USD, 805 pieces), also launching on August 1, 2026.
