LEGO announces that their Speed Champions Lightning McQueen set is an intricate miniature replica made up of 270 pieces.

A detailed look at this set can be found in the gallery below.
On September 5th, 2017, Lightning McQueen Day was initiated as part of the celebrations leading up to the cinema release of “Cars 3”.
