LEGO Technic 42236 Custom Garage Ford Mustang GT Car – A Creative New Build for Car Fans
The LEGO Technic theme has long been a favourite among builders who want more than just a display model. Known for its realistic mechanics, functional elements and engineering-focused builds, LEGO Technic continues to attract both younger fans and seasoned collectors alike. From iconic supercars like the LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 42115 to rugged off-roaders such as the LEGO Technic Ford Raptor 42126, the theme has built a reputation for combining playability with impressive realism.
Now, LEGO is taking things in a slightly different direction with the brand-new LEGO Technic 42236 Custom Garage Ford Mustang GT Car, a set that blends engineering with creativity, offering builders the chance to truly make the model their own.
LEGO Technic 42236 Custom Garage Ford Mustang GT Car – Set Details
The LEGO® Technic™ 42236 Custom Garage Ford Mustang GT Car is a 973-piece set designed for builders aged 10 and up, priced at £79.99 and available to pre-order now ahead of its release on 1 August 2026. This engaging model allows fans to build and customise their own Mustang GT using two distinct styling options, including a sleek paintwork design and a bold graffiti-inspired look, with the ability to mix and match elements for a truly unique finish. Builders can swap out eight different components, including the hood, front splitter, doors, roof panels and spoilers, adding a strong layer of creativity to the experience. True to the LEGO Technic theme, the set also includes functional features such as working steering controlled via a top-mounted gear and an 8-cylinder piston engine, offering both playability and mechanical realism. Once built, the model measures over 9 cm high, 27 cm long and 13 cm wide, making it ideal for both play and display, while the LEGO Builder enhances the build with interactive 3D instructions and progress tracking.
And Finally…
The LEGO Technic 42236 Custom Garage Ford Mustang GT Car feels like a fresh step forward for the Technic range. By combining the theme’s signature mechanical detail with a new level of personalisation, LEGO has created a set that offers something genuinely different. For younger builders especially, the ability to redesign and rebuild the car again and again adds real long-term value. As we get closer to its August 2026 release, this is definitely one to keep an eye on — particularly for those who enjoy both creativity and engineering in equal measure.
