A little disappointed the STO is similar color scheme to the Ford GT but still a great set

Looks like very few stickers. Love them all!

Why not bigger version of the polybag? :-(

Porsche is a day 1 buy for me. I was hoping for another colour, but it looks INCREDIBLE!!! Been waiting for a 911 since the 8-wide era!

The driver of that 77237 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is just a 30-year-old Ash Ketchum who caught them all.

1. Is that Richard Hammond? Also, is this an entirely unstickered SC set?
2. Lambo twin pack is banging. Def getting it.
3. Love the Porsche. Will definitely try that with no stickers.
4. Bugatti Cheesegrater is the least interesting to me, but that front end technique looks great.

Edit: the Porsche sticks out too far on the front and rear. Might ditch the rear spoiler and try my hand at shortening it. Still worth a buy, and I'm glad I have some spare McLaren 720S sets to bulk out my orange pieces to work with.

I know that the focus has always been on the high end super car models, but I wouldn't mind seeing some more common vehicles included into the speed champions range such as a Cadillac Escalade, a Camaro or modern Corvette etc. Even a Dodge Charger would be nice.

Quite underwhelming, the lot of them.

Bugatti is so cool, I have wanted them to do this for a long time.

77237 Hellcat: Looks almost comedically blocky....
77238 Lambo double pack: I have an increasingly hard time telling the Lamborghini models apart, and it doesn't get any better in Lego form.
77239 Porsche 911: That nose is a complete and utter failure. Dare I say the 6 stud wide 911s were better?
77240 Centodieci: Easily the best one of the bunch. But wanna bet the printed white on the windshield matches the white pieces just as bad as on the Countach?

I NEED that bugatti!

I think the white/green 70s 911 is a fantastic design and great in cities. The earlier twin pack finish line set was not.

I think the lines of the front and rear are poor on this one. The headlights, I don't love them but I'll wait to see reviews.

Yeah, I was indeed thinking of that white/green one. Guess it helped that those 911 models still had the much more pronounced headlights with the fenders almost horizontally. The newer versions have thus much more subtle.....but it is still there. That Finish Line 'didn't really work either, but I think that was a better attempt than this....

Maybe my expectations for the Porsche were a little too high to start "

To me, it's the way they did the headlights. They should be sticking out slighty, not flush

I kept my white 911, I wish I had it in green since white yellows so badly, but that's how it goes.

I think this might have worked better if rather than a slope with two directions, the headlight only curved forward and there was another side brick. That would make it stick up a tad, the way a 911 headlight should.

Edit: I'm certain my method wouldn't work, it would place the lights too far inward. Ah well. I guess that's how it goes with Lego, you don't always have the shape you need.

THOSE ARE WRENCHES ON THE CHALLENGERS HEADLIGHTS

To be fair: The 911, and particularly the more recent versions, are probably the most impossibly shaped cars to recreate from bricks, even more so at this scale. All smooth curves, no sharp edges and barely any straight lines. But then I always think: I you can't do it at least moderately well, then maybe don't do it at all and pick another, better suited model instead....."

I'm with ya, though I would love a great 8-wide 911. Maybe go into history for a 935 with a whale tail? I feel like a low 8-wide would be PERFECT for that car. Even the GT1 from the late 90s? Or a 70s 2.7 RS?

I also suspect that the manufacturers have input on which cars they want created, what details need to be there, etc.

I think these are 1x1 plates with the vertical clip in clear.

I never thought I'd see the day a lego set was released with "Hell" in its name.

i agree, the headlights look off to me. Porsche headlights are just so distinctive, and these don't quite capture the shape or the angle.

Oh yeah, I'd be all for any 935! Would also love to see a 917, but guess those would have the same issues as a 911, and probably end up looking very similar to the Ferrari 512 M. Or how about those Dakar 959s?

As for the manufacturers having a say, I always wonder about that. I mean, plenty of licensed models of even the most obscure cars in their history, and I'd think Lego is in a strong enough position to not give in to any silly request.

I don't consider myself a car guy, but this is the best wave yet.

And no branding on the windshields is my dream come true!

I need all of them. My brother is going to go crazy when I show these to him, he's the bigger car guy. But speed champions always delivers the best looking sets

A 935 is my dream. Such a great car and so many liveries to choose from that would look great. I bet they could do better than the 512M with a 917.

I have to imagine companies have a decent amount of say, because if they say so, Lego can't make anything of theirs. So there's definitely input from both sides.

Why am I so happy… and my wallet is screaming at me again.

Still holding out for a DeLorean, or any movie based cars not from F&F

The Bugatti looks fantastic, will definitely get it at some point.

5 excellent models. As always, I'm looking for a great looking final result with maybe a vague similarity to the original. I don't ever expect die-cast accuracy from a building toy.

I hear 77237 is going to be incredibly easy to shoplift.

Bit perplexed at the package not having images of the minifigs , but might be just not seeing the top (or me not having looked properly in store at latest wave)
Might need to grab at least one (dual) here.

The Lambos seem to be interesting builds, but the rest seem the be fairly basic stacked bricks (some sideways for sure, but that is hardly impressive anymore). There could be more to the builds than meets the eye here, but they seem somewhat disappointing to me.

Woohoo! Time to make a six wide EB110 out of the Centodieci. And the 911 is just going turn into a Panamera Sport Turismo. Down for the new rims/hubcaps

Overall, a nicely varied wave that should have something for most car enthusiasts. Some cool looking build techniques, but also some pretty plain looking ones.

I have no personal interest in American muscle cars, but that Dodge looks OK apart from two things; that windscreen which I always dislike, and the tires sticking way outside of the already flared arches.

The Lambo 2-pack looks like two interesting builds. And I actually like that color combination, but I know from previous experience that it's always very divisive - quite a few people always seem to absolutely hate an orange-blue/azure combination for some reason. I'm not sold on the shaping, though. Lambo's don't have any angle between the front bodywork and the windscreen, in profile it should just be one continuous line/curve all the way from the nose over the roof and to the back. The blue car misses out on that big time, and the orange one less so but still to some extent.

The Porsche would be my favorite of these, but again that hideous windscreen piece is a definitive weak-spot. It's too wide at the roof, and has a sharp corner between the windscreen and the roof - no real car has had that since the 80-ies. Lego really needs a new windscreen-piece for modern road-cars to fix that. The headlights are not perfect, but good enough for me. Modern 911's are much smoother shaped than what I think people imagine when they think about what a 911 looks like.

Bugatti looks quite amazing actually, it would have been my 1'st pick if I just liked the brand better.

Lot's of picking on the negative details, but I do like the wave when taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture.

The Porsche and the Dodge (reminds me of a Disney Pixar Cars character) look quite bad. The others look great.

If the blue-and-orange one from 77238 were a standalone set, I'd probably get it. I'm with @RTS013 in thinking that color scheme gets too much hate. As it is, though, the only one I'll likely get is 77237.

@GirlWoman said:"I would really like more classic cars from Speed Champions"

I would, too. I'd be all over a Shelby Cobra.

@strangeworld said:"That Porsche doesn't look good, looks more like a Nissan Z. The old six stud wide 75895 for example was immediately recognizable. "

Yeah, I'd been hoping they'd do an eight-wide 911, but I'm not crazy about it now that they actually have. I'll stick with my 75895.

"Looks like they're running out of inspiration.
Another Lamborghini Huracan (second)
Another Dodge Challenger (third)
Another Porsche 911 (fourth)
Most of these cars are back to prints/ stickers for headlights, side windows, air intakes..."

That's a bit disingenuous considering the new cars are different generations.

"I would really like more classic cars from Speed Champions"

IMO classic cars don't suit the 8-wide unless they make the more compact. The James Bond DB5 was case in point, and it's far too long and wide for it's intended scale. A real shame as I'm a big fan of classic cars. Happy to be proven wrong though!

I’m probably in the minority here but I might be getting the Porsche. I don’t think I own any bricks in that color and it looks pretty cool, hope it comes with a lot of orange pieces. Luckily it’s not white or grey, I might have passed.

When I first saw these on JB's site I was glad TLG did not add any more f1 cars, although some classic ones would have been nice for a change

I like the Lambo's, especially in the Gulf color scheme, sadly the Revuelto has the same ugly headlight construction as the F40, with those holes
The Porsche in orange is my 2nd choice although the front looks odd on the images available and that rear spoiler is definitely a failure (I'd leave that off I guess)
And finally an 8 wide Bugatti (I missed buying the old one as I wasn't into lego anymore when that one was sold), unfortunately in white...
The Dodge does not add much for me, I'm not very into American muscle cars

Many 8-wide SpeedChampions seem to be around scale 1:27. The DB5 is actually really well proportioned at that scale, except the width. As I found out in my review, to match the real car it should have been 10mm (more than one stud) narrower. But the length and height are spot-on. The real DB5 is 4.57m long. For comparison with some other cars available as 8-wides, that makes it 43cm longer than a Countach, 20cm longer than a McLaren F1LM, and 19cm longer than a GR Supra.

Many old cars are smaller than more modern ones, and it would be great if that is captured in SpeedChampions, I agree with that. But to take the DB5 as a case in point for being off scale, is plain wrong.

I don’t particularly like Lamborghinis in real life, but they always seem to make some of the best Speed Champions cars.

Something that I haven't seen anyone bring up, is that they've stopped using the old steering wheel piece for a different piece/technique, it's hard to tell on the Porsche- I imagine it's also the new piece.

The S2000 also uses that piece too.
