As much as we all would have loved to buy one,

Dodge

made sure that it wouldn’t be easy for everyone to own a

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

. It was only built for one model year, with a total of 3,000 units, and

the last one was built last summer

. And even if they were still available,

each one started at just under $85,000

, a substantial chunk of change. But thanks to Lego, there’s a comparatively cheap way to get a new Demon: in tiny brick form.

The toy company has added another kit to

its Speed Champions line

featuring a yellow

Challenger

Demon. Since the Speed Champions cars are quite small, it’s a somewhat rough facsimile of the car, but it’s still instantly recognizable. It’s blocky, it has a big hood scoop and fat fender flares. It also has two sets of wheel covers to customize it.

This kit has an advantage over a real Demon, too: it comes with a second car. The other one is a 1970

Dodge Charger

in black. This is an even more faithful rendition, thanks in part to the real car’s ruler-straight lines. It doesn’t have customizable wheels, but you can choose whether to leave it stock, or stick on a little replica of a supercharger and hood scoop that poke through the hood. It ends up looking like

Dominic Toretto’s Charger from The Fast and the Furious

.

Besides the second car, the kit features a drag strip starting tree. It doesn’t light up, but it does have a slider on the back that lifts up each set of colored bricks as it’s pressed down. So you can have little drag races with the two cars. In total, everything is built with 478 pieces, and it will cost you $29.99. The kit is available now

wherever Lego kits are sold

, and even at

the Dodge merchandise website

.
