LEGO Speed Champions 76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT ... (Brick Fanatics)

LEGO Speed Champions 76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) leads the theme into 2023 with its most interesting build yet.

[76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76917-2-fast-2-furious-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r34/) if it’s not on there already, especially for those with [76912 Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76912-fast-furious-1970-dodge-charger-r-t/) on the shelf already. [76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76917-2-fast-2-furious-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r34/) is the only [LEGO](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/lego/) [Speed Champions](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/speed-champions/) set launching on January 1, 2023. [LEGO](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/lego/) [Speed Champions](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/speed-champions/) to [76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76917-2-fast-2-furious-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r34/) is [76896 Nissan GT-R NISMO](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76896-nissan-gt-r-nismo/) from 2020, but the two cars have more than a couple of differences in their overall design and shape. Beyond that metric though, there’s no doubt that [76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76917-2-fast-2-furious-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r34/) is well worth the asking price wherever you’re buying it. At that size, it shouldn’t be hard to find a place for it on your desk, shelf or [LEGO](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/lego/) street. Other highlights from the racing theme include [76906 1970 Ferrari 512 M](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76906-1970-ferrari-512-m/) and [76908 Lamborghini Countach](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76908-lamborghini-countach/). [76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76917-2-fast-2-furious-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r34/) and its single expression is a good match to the Fast & Furious character, with suitably wavy hair to boot. While no other builds in the theme are confirmed for 2023 so far, [76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76917-2-fast-2-furious-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r34/) would have likely overshadowed any movie or manufacturer-centric models due to its immaculate detail and value. That said, this build isn’t at all reliant on the other [LEGO](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/lego/) [Speed Champions](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/speed-champions/) set. It’s not the most detailed or appealing minifigure in the history of [LEGO](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/lego/), but it doesn’t need to be. [LEGO](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/lego/) [Speed Champions](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/speed-champions/)’ exploration of vehicles taken from films is still relatively new at the time of writing, debuting with both [76911 007 Aston Martin DB5](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76911-007-aston-martin-db5/) and [76912 Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/76912-fast-furious-1970-dodge-charger-r-t/) midway through 2022. [LEGO](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/lego/) [Speed Champions](https://www.brickfanatics.com/product/speed-champions/), but this new collection of brick-built vehicles is already proving to be an impressive and worthwhile addition to your shelf.

Here's What Happened To The Trophy Truck From Fast And Furious ... (HotCars)

This trophy truck from the Fast and Furious 2019 spin-off packs in some serious firepower and is an absolute dune basher. Fast And Furious Hobbs Shaw Hot Rod ...

That said, the space on the inside is tight, and with a fully built roll cage, the interior of this hot rod is not what you'd call ergonomic. But as you'll see, this particular hot rod is properly built out and [features a bunch of interesting details](https://www.lamborghini.com/en-en/models/aventador/aventador-lp-780-4-ultimae) that are all functional. [having a blast in this insane truck](https://www.hotcars.com/watch-ken-block-thrash-trophy-truck-gymkhana-course/) which is practically invincible in the desert thanks to its long-travel suspension and a mighty LS3 motor under the hood. [With slight tinkering, this motor has been upgraded](https://www.hotcars.com/naturally-aspirated-v6-engines-endless-tuning-potential/) to produce 525 horsepower, a bump of 100 horsepower from the standard crate motor. Unlike the decked-out exterior of this trophy truck, its interior is pretty bare bones. They have also added a spare tire on the back that not only adds to this hot road's sinister looks but also gives a safety net in case they end up with a flat. As McCarthy tells in the video, the suspension setup this truck uses is slightly different from the usual Coilover system found in similar vehicles. As a result, it has the same suspension geometry as a race truck, with all its weight hunkered down, giving it a low center of gravity. In the movie, this hot rod uses 35-inch tires all around. He took ownership of this excellent hot rod after the movie was over and is using it for some serious dune bashing in the Californian side of the Mojave Desert.

And, in a recent video uploaded on [his YouTube channel AutotopiaLA](http://www.youtube.com/@AutotopiaLA), Shawn Davis is checking out one of [these insane trophy trucks](https://www.hotcars.com/heres-what-makes-trophy-trucks-the-craziest-racing-pickups/) from the 2019 flick.
