The LEGO Icons Shelby Cobra 427 S/C recreates the legendary ‘60s muscle car in a small-scale, collectible version.
For fans of classic American muscle cars and vintage motorsport, the new LEGO Shelby Cobra 427 S/C build set checks all the right boxes. The 1,241-piece model pays tribute to Shelby’s 1960s racing legend with a detailed replica that’s full of iconic features and old-school racing style. From the bold white stripes on the deep blue finish to the side exhausts and signature grille, the Shelby Cobra comes alive in brick form. There’s even working steering, opening doors, a functioning trunk and hood, and a detailed engine bay showing off that famous V8 engine. Other detailed accessories for race day include a miniature trophy, a fire extinguisher that mounts between the seats, a toolbox that tucks neatly in the trunk, and a $100 bill element thrown in for good measure. Measuring over 11 inches long, this collectible LEGO car looks just as good displayed on a desk as it does being admired mid-build.
LEGO clearly designed this release with car enthusiasts in mind, offering a hands-on way to engage with one of the most recognizable performance cars of the era. While this isn’t the first time the Shelby Cobra has been celebrated in miniature form, LEGO’s adult-focused Icons line adds a layer of complexity to the experience, encouraging builders to slow down and appreciate every curve and detail. The LEGO Builder app even offers a digital version of the building instructions for an extra interactive touch. Whether you’re deep into the world of scale car models or just someone who appreciates the golden age of racing, the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C set delivers a satisfying, display-worthy tribute. And like the real thing, it’s fast becoming a favorite among collectors, offering a nostalgic piece of car culture in a smaller scale.
