Why is it a problem? The new helmets barely show the face anyway, and most Lego fans probably have enough replacement head options if they want to swap them out for any reason.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe I'm not a big fan of the F1 (I definitely prefer the WEC), so this doesn't bother me. For me it doesn't matter if it's man or woman. New helmets are really cool and in my opinion if we got official driver's printed helmets it would look ridiculous and too colorful. But the most irritating thing is lack of driver's number.

 

Edit: Also awful halo system is so irritating.

Edit 2: I'm not a German and don't know its language but I noticed on JB Spielwaren this: 

So does it mean that every car will have this plate underneath or this is only extra brick from seller?

It's just another one of their custom prints as an offer. And since no brand logos are being used, should be legal to do.

I agree it's not a big deal, but I still would have preferred gender-neutral racing balaclava head prints under the helmets. A mixture of male/female heads would've made more sense in the city line-up I think, where realism has already been sacrificed for play.

Blue 🔵 I don't know hot to name it

It's 3171 - "Barb / Claw / Horn / Tooth with Clip, Angled"

I think it's nice to see these images. We can see (at least little part) how it's made.

Can't help but notice they all show a digital instruction set, not a printed one. Hopefully that doesn't mean printed instructions are a relic of the past.

It doesn't, they've had those pics like that for a while now. I figure it's just showing off the digital instructions since they're a feature buyers might not otherwise know about.

The Summer 2025 set names have been leaked via the Legoleak subreddit:

• 77237 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Race Car - $27.99
• 77238 Lamborghini Revuelto & Huracan STO - $44.99
• 77239 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Super Car - $27.99
• 77240 Bugatti Centodienci Sports Car - $27.99

Excited for the Huracan STO as it's one of my favorite new supercars, the new GT3 RS too. The Centodienci is an odd inclusion since it was produced 3 years ago (and it's a hypercar, not a "Sports Car")

But can TLG please stop using "Race Car" and "Super Car" in the Speed Champions set names? It's ridiculously stupid.

Yeah it's so annoying. But it sounds faster 😆. Look at this "Fiat Multipia" ----> "Fiat Multipia super car" 😆 . Faster, right?

But seriously TLG please stop now!

I seriously want to award you for this comment. Loved the Multipla bit!

I feel like this is probably primarily an SEO (search engine optimization) thing... adult fans of high performance cars may recognize various cars by brand/model, but a lot of parents buying for kids are probably just looking for a "race car" or something similarly vague, and so having that in the product name makes it more likely that people searching for that will find their way to those sets.

I think so too. For some darn reason the Bugatti Centodienci is a "sports car" instead of a hypercar.

Yeah, all three of the tags are incorrect so it really makes the brain itch.

Not much that excites me in the leaked list. Hoping for more actual race cars (that aren't F1) in the next drop.

My thoughts based on photos on LEGO official website.

Parts:

Red 🔴 definitely new wider tyres 

Green 🟢 probably new slope (hope it's not sticker)

Yellow 🟡 new panel? 4865

White ⚪ new tile half round?

Black ⚫ totally new helmet (probably dual moulded)

Orange 🟠 new pods above tyres 

Blue 🔵 I don't know hot to name it

Purple 🟣 new spoiler part

 

Did anyone notice the new 2x3 curved slope on the back of the sidepod? I believe that is a new part as well.

Oh, yeah. You are right. I didn't notice that. 

Now, when I'm seeing that, it looks like 2x4 for me

I like those new F1 bolids, glad that they differ from each other when you take a closer look. However, my excitation reached much higher level with the new leaks of summer wave. Sound like all of the coming sets is must have in my collection. Hope that they won't screw them up, been waiting so long for Bugatti in 8 stud wide and "standard" Lamborghini and Porsche cars.

Whoa! Yea... that's a 2x4 for sure! Looks like several models have them: spotted in black, dark blue, and Red. With any luck they'll be available unprinted (assuming these curved parts aren't stickered in the kits...)

Pretty sure they're stickered. You can see the sticker edges in some of the photos.

There is a rumour for another Fast and Furious set with a female character (probably Letty). I really hope it's Suki and her pink S2000 instead, I read the same sentiment on Reddit too.

Especially seeing how the rumored "video" shows the car next to the 2 Fast 2 Furious Skyline GT-R set. See, we are getting more movie car sets!

Well, it also could be "all-at-once"...

Letty is a more famous character than Suki, so her appearance could be more likely. Plus, in some Fast-PutYourNumber-Furious series, she used to draw Dodge Challenger cars.
I wonder, may it correlate with this one?

Quote

77237 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Race Car - $27.99

Absolutely, Suki's vibrant pink S2000 is much more iconic, alongside with Skyline. Because these cars were "characters' alter-ego" before they jumped into "choose whatever you want as a one-time ride, coz you will destroy it in a minute"

Anyway, I would love to see them all.
Plus, I spent some time this year on attempts to make Challenger (as best as it could be), and want to compare it with Lego's official result.

https://newsroom.bugatti.com/press-releases/bugatti-delivers-the-tenth-and-final-centodieci-hyper-sports-car  "Bugatti" Centodieci hyper sports car.

Should LEGO instead write the longer name, to be 100% correct?

I doubt it; Letty’s car in F7 was a Dodge Challenger SRT8 (not a Hellcat), and she has never driven a Hellcat in any of the other films. Additionally, LEGO would include the franchise and character names in the set name if 77237 were a F&F set! 
 

77241 will be 2 Fast 2 Furious Honda S2000 - Summer 2025

And telhe most disappointed part. Halo system is horrible. Why didn't they use part like CaDa did?

Someone could 3D print them for us. hint hint.
