Gah! Unbridled glee! The days of Ferrari having an exclusive hold on branded Lego cars are officially over. Next year, you'll be able to buy a minifig-scale McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder, and LaFerrari. (Yes, we know about the Mini and VW stuff, but Maranello has been dominant.) We will take one of each, thank you.
These leaked images come courtesy of YouTube user just2good, so no prices yet, but the kits looks small enough that they should come in around 20 bucks. Again, we don't care. Buying.
McLaren P1 (75909)
Is that a snowboard acting as the P1's wing? Yes, yes it is. Also: Why didn't I think of making brick pylons?
LaFerrari (75899)
Some authentic Italian stubble on the LaFerrari test driver.

Porsche 918 Spyder (75910)
All three cars have production-correct wheel designs, the 918's being the coolest. And each car comes with a wrench, because, uh, why not?

There are also a few competition-inspired sets in the 2015 Speed Champions line, too: a sponsor-sticker-tastic 458 Italia GT2 (75908); a pair of 911 GT cars with podium, mechanics, and LEGO four-way (75912); a full pit-stop setup for the McLaren F1 team (75911); and (yet another) Ferrari F1 transporter (75913). I'm guessing the brick separators included in the F1 sets are in place of wheel guns.
We'll forgive the similar look of the hypercars because there's only so much you can do at minifig scale, and come on, minifig-scale hypercars! It's nice to see few—if any—unique parts. The stickers differentiate them pretty well.

Pretty sure I'm more geeked about these sets than I was when the actual cars were unveiled. Not sure what that says about me, but at least I can and will own all three of these.
