Together with the actual car, the set includes a Lego timing board and a mini-driver wearing a classic racing suit. The set is made of 183 pieces and will hit the shelves as of March 1 at a retail price of $14,99.

Previous Lego Speed Champions sets brought the likes of Ford GT, Ford GT40 and Ford F-150 Raptor off-road truck, while another set – also to be released on March 1 – recreates the Ford Fiesta WRC rally car.
