The LEGO Group has unveiled a new addition to its LEGO® Super Mario™ collection: the LEGO® Mario Kart™ - Luigi & Mach 8 set. Pulled straight from the Mario Kart™ games, this set lets fans construct and showcase Luigi piloting the Mach 8 — the first large-scale LEGO recreation of this kart. It's aimed at collectors and gamers who want to bring their favorite racing moments off the screen and onto the shelf.

Constructing the Mach 8 and Luigi
Designed for builders 18 and older, the set contains 2,234 pieces. Luigi comes fully articulated — arms, hands, and head all move — so you can position him gripping the wheel or recreate specific racing poses. The Mach 8 itself mounts on a stand that tilts the kart at racing angles, capturing the drift and momentum from the games. Take it off the stand and the kart becomes functional: push it forward and the wheels roll, turn the steering and the front wheels respond, spin the rear wheels and the flame exhaust rotates. It's a playful nod to Mario Kart's physics without needing a controller.
Setting Up Head-to-Head Displays
This Luigi set pairs with the earlier LEGO® Mario Kart™ – Mario & Standard Kart (sold separately). Put them side by side and you've got a Mario vs. Luigi showdown, either as a static display or a tabletop race setup. It's a straightforward way to recreate the rivalry that's been at the heart of Mario Kart since the series began.
