Even if your dream garage looks more like a shelf full of bricks than a climate-controlled vault, there’s good news: supercars aren’t just for billionaires anymore, they’re also for anyone with a knack for snapping plastic pieces together.
Aston Martin built just 275 examples of the Valkyrie, split into 150 Coupes, 85 Spiders, and 40 track-only AMR Pro specials. Every last one was spoken for before most people even learned how to pronounce “Valkyrie” correctly. But if you’re like us and yearn to have a little piece of Valkyrie in your life, the next best thing is launching soon: a Valkyrie model from Lego Technic.
Previewed ahead of its launch on August 1, the Lego Technic version of the Valkyrie contains 707 pieces, which is rather fitting as Aston builds a version of the DBX known as the 707. The model also features the same Podium Green paint finish that Aston Martin offers for its life-sized creations, complete with lime green accents.

Impressively, the Lego team has been able to replicate some of the finer details of the Valkyrie’s design, including its intricate aerodynamic features, such as the large rear diffuser and the aero tunnels extending from the front to behind the front wheels. Like the Valkyrie Spider, it also features gullwing-style doors and is equipped with racing-inspired center-lock wheels.
The doors aren’t the only functional piece of the model. It also includes a steering wheel that actually moves the wheels, and a replica of the Cosworth 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12, complete with moving pistons.
Lego wasn’t the only one adding a Valkyrie to its collection, as the hybrid hypercar has also been added to the Asphalt Legends Unite game, which is available for Android, iOS, Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
While the real Valkyrie started at around $3 million and could climb past $4 million with customizations, the Lego version is a bit easier on the wallet. Priced at $64.99, the set will be available soon through the Lego website.
“Our collaboration with Lego Technic celebrates the impossible engineering and visionary thinking that brought Valkyrie to life,” said Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s executive vice president and chief creative officer. “By integrating it into the Gameloft Asphalt Legends Unite platform, we’re not only immortalizing its legacy, but also introducing this otherworldly machine to a new audience in a creative way.”
