Here’s how to put any LEGO Speed Champions fan’s first thought upon seeing LEGO City 60408 Car Transporter Truck with Sports Cars in Action.
60408 Camion porte-voitures avec voitures de sport comes with three cars of its own but, for those with large LEGO Speed Champions collections, it would be the perfect way to display a few together or play out taking some of your favourite models for a day out on the track. However, the transporter as it comes from the LEGO Group is not the right size to fit the modern eight-stud LEGO Speed Champions voitures.
Thankfully, one clever builder, TrustyBricks, a adapted the build to suit that scale – without requiring any new pieces. Not only do the ramps and transporter fit eight-stud cars but the truck and chassis are also eight studs wide, to keep the scale cohesive throughout. The original interactive features, like the detachable tow ball connection and movable landing gear and ramp, remain, although the appearance is of course slightly changed.
The final look is professional and smooth, an impressive feat considering no extra parts were used. For LEGO Speed Champions fans, this is as good a reason as any to pick up 60408 Camion porte-voitures avec voitures de sport if you haven’t already. Plus, it’s currently on offer at JEU, currently reduced by 20% to bring the price down to just £72.

I write about all the best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win a little, you lose a little.
