The gearbox issue was fixed in the digital instructions, but there are other errors remaining in the manual. Click here for my up to date list of errors and fixes - racingbrick.com/2022/06/lego-technic-42143-ferrari-daytona-sp3-instructions-errors-and-fixes/
Hi thank you for your videos I watched them before buying the Ferrari and it was very helpful while building. I was wondering where did you get the matching color acrylic? Pannels for your cars that you have handing? Also how so you have them hanging, thank you
@@carlosspriggs8267 you can find all details here - ua-cam.com/video/Bps9_pd-A8A/v-deo.html
I've just connected a motor to check that I followed your error corrections correctly. It appears that the wheels do not change direction when reverse is engaged
@@sjk8908 the wheels won't change direction, the engine will
@@RacingBrick Aha! Thanks. I re-rigged up the motor to run through the engine and, hey presto, the wheels do change direction when switching from forward to reverse. Cheers!
While the gearboxes aren’t necessary, I love them anyway and believe they should stay in these 1:8 scale cars because it’s always really fun to construct such complex mechanisms, it’s quite satisfying!
Agreed. But I liked them better when you had to build the frame yourself instead of these big square frames.
I am quite the opposite, I don’t even put them together as i have to scoop them out right after construction when I’m filling these things with lights and motors
What are models have these without paying 400 dollars
@@deykno87 All the previous 1:8 cars did. And they were much cheaper when they came out.
I would want the gearbox to handle functions like adjustable ride height, openable doors etc. They add more value than a speed gearbox that's never going to be used.
Even after shifting the gears, there's no way to observe the difference unless the car is motorised.
I feel like reviewers keep forgetting one thing: collectors who have all of the 1:8 cars aren't the only ones who will buy this, just like the previous cars. If I got it, it would be my first of the kind and all the features would be unique and new to ME. Lego has to think about all their customers, otherwise these wouldn't be large scale consumer products.
It's probably impossible to satisfy everyone, and for a company, the best they can do is satisfy the most loyal customers to the brand. If it meets other customers' expectation, great? If not, no worries and move on.
Yeah I waited on the 1:8 car line because they didn’t release one I wanted. Lambo was tempting, but if I were to get one from this line it would be this…
@@jkliao6486 "The most loyal customers" often pay less for the same product because of points etc. No one is going to stop buying Lego because the 1/8 scale supercars don't have dissimilar functions.
@ Yeah, but loyal customers would stop buying lego if you slap a 600 USD tag on a set. Just look at the zetro truck, why it receives such bad feedbacks.
I think the gearbox is a fantastic way to teach people how they work. It makes the model feel a lot more robust too and is a nice talking point. I would definitely not buy these large models anymore if they removed the gearbox and didn’t replace it with anything compelling.
I don't want to sound condescending, but I think very-very few people would actually learn or understand how the gearbox works while building such set. Stacking gears does not give you an explanation, nor hiding it within the model. If the manual would give you some detailed explanation about the functionality, or there would be an app showing how it works again with detailed explanation, that would be great and very educational. But without that, it is just adding Technic pieces that supposed to do something at the end that won't even be really visible by pushing the car around.
The gear boxes aren't that hard to build. Although nobody will use it it is fun to build. I only have the bugatti and the Lamborghini. And all I ever do is build them and then take them apart and then rebuild from time to time. That, and display is all they're good for. And personally I like it that way. Stripping and building it over keeps my mind from other problems in life. I find it soothing.
Your points about the gearbox somewhat reinforce something I've been thinking for a while; Lego should bring back the Lego Racers theme for display models like this. Having two separate themes, one for Technic-built display models and one for Technic-built functional models, could help alleviate a lot of the issues I see in modern Technic. Removing the gearbox as a Technic set would likely be a bad call, since it would further the idea that Technic is losing all its functions, but it would make much more sense as a successor to Lego Racers.
Disagree!
For looks system pieces are far better than technic. The Lego Mustang looks far better for a third of the price. (OK, it´s much smaller, but think about a 1/8 scale SYSTEM BRICK built car for 300-400 Euros!)
Take a look at the old legendary supercars like 8865 and 8880: They were targeted at older children/ teenagers who didn´t "play" with Lego anymore but enjoyed building and to have some RL functions to be shown. Their gearboxes where great considering the parts available. And I think they weren´t shifted too often either and being placed on a shelf after the builder figured out how they work.
The Porsche was great for being the first of its kind, the Bugatti introduced new transmission parts which was great as well. The Lamborghini was a bit of a reissure of the Bugatti, but managed to adress the critisism of the community about the looks and stickers of the Bugatti.
Now the new Ferrari: I appreciate that there is a gearbox, for a Technic car of this size a functional gearbox is a must have for me (the errors in the instructions are a shame though, but can be easily fixed)!
What I find disappointing is that there is no evolution concerning functions. What about functional disc brakes, a functional clutch, steering controlled headlights, LED lights, RC (like the Cada Ferrari) or maybe just a small motor to show the transmission speeds when the car is jacked up ...
There are so many possibilities, but Lego ignores this and just keeps milking the collectors cow.
A Lego Technic car of this size could implement all of this for a 400,- price tag, there are enough MOCers to prove this!
It's not like, if you split one theme into multiple "new" themes, you fill up the "missing" sets in the original overall-theme. You would simple have the same sets, just with a different theme name on the box. I do not see the gain here.
Robo Riders, 'Style packs', Competition, small vehicles with no funktion made from technic parts, Slizer, .... all that and much more is part of the theme "Technic". Every time some sais "that's not technic" it's basically just made up.
@@McKrushi Yes, I agree with you to a certain point.
But Technic is and was always about functions. Look at what some small 10 Euro sets offer in terms of functions.
Racers were cool sets, but Technic parts without System parts will always have less accurate looks, especially nowadays when every System stud can be covered with a tile.
I prefer the Mustang over any of the Racers in terms of looks.
I also prefer 8880 over any of the "new" supercars.
Maybe a Technic supercar should be just a generic sportscar/ offroader/ sedan/ hotrod or whatever, without a license. And licensed cars should be in the Creator Expert line.
@@philp8872 "But Technic is and was always about functions." Robo Riders was about functions? ;) That statement is simply not true.
And I'm not against other themes in general, but there should be other reasons besides "It's too big for the number of pure technical functions", "it looks to good for Technic, we have to build it from bricks, because Technic has to be ugly - I guess?" xD
I'm thinking more about the sheer number of sets in a theme. It's usually not that bad to create a new subtheme (not theme) if it gets confusing. Or remove a theme for the same reason.
Mindstorms has only one set per multiple years... it should be re-integrated into Technic. And if the number of sets gets too high, maybe call it something like "Technic - Showroom" so it does not only include racing cars - trucks for display is a thing I think :D
But I don't think there are enough sets per year for that.
@@McKrushi Robo Riders for example is a theme that I didn´t notice at all. You may be right with that.
But Technic in its core is about showing how certain functions (of a car, an excavator, a plane....) work in RL. That is what makes it desireable for children who are too old to just play with some small set (like a Lego City car i.e.), and that is what makes adults buy and collect these sets when they think of the 80´s and 90´s Technic sets they had themself in their youth.
Technic is ugly to a certain point, may it be only because of blue pins in a red car.
I think there are too many sets launched each year. Less and better sets, which stay in production for longer would be better IMO.
I agree with you about Mindstorms should be integrated into Technic line again.
awesome review, although I would disagree with dropping the inner functions because it is only a display piece. It adds immensly to the building expierence. I have built all 3 supercars and the chassis was always the one thing I was most excited for. The evolution of the gearbox was super interesting to follow. even if this year there is no evolution (which agree with you is really sad), i cannot wait to build the ferrari chassis once again.
totally agree.......building the chassis is definitely the best time
Wad this set worth the money for you?
@@albertholl4836 250 tops more like 180
personally I really like how little holes there are and I actually wouldn't like if the gearbox and other functions were removed because I think they are quite interesting and fun to use a couple times or to show off
This set and the other car models (Bugatti, 911 RSR etc) would perfectly fit in the racers series if it would still be alive. These were just cool racing cars or supercars partly built out of technic elements with just basic functions (steering, doors, suspensions). Now they sadly take up the space in the technic series which could be used for real technic sets. I don't think the designers aren't capable of doing it anymore, it's more a decision from above or the marketing
I think its a good decision seems more diverse. Makes the other sets feel more special
@@RAiNfORAiNbOW true, that way I enjoy my 42128 tow truck even more
@@JB-yu1vv I got it too and I only have 2 big sets since 2010. The 8043 excavator and the offroader with lights and lift suspension.
UCS Speed Champions sets
Agreed. There’s so many interesting machines and vehicles technic can make with unique functions and they waste half of the yearly releases on cars. Still Technic is by far my favourite LEGO theme and always will be
Aren't these sets mostly about the building experience anyways? I mean, I only have the Porsche for now, but having that building process somewhat resemble the building process of the real car made the experience for me.
This channel is the Lego Technic quality control. I love your work and this video shows the incredible amount of detail and time you put in. Thank you.
I'll agree with most comments, the gearbox is a must for me. Such a large scale would be an empty shell otherwise, and I wouldn't spend 400€ for it. What is a car, apart from the looks ? A drivetrain, steering and suspensions, that's it. For this price, I want to build the whole train, from pistons to wheels. With your arguments, we could remove the suspensions too. What is the difference with a display model ? Lego Technic is about functions, making a design that WORKS. What makes a car beautiful is how you encapsulate great capabilities in a seducing design. Having an engine and a full transmission is just like having suspensions and steering. This is the soul of the vehicle, this is what makes a Lego set something more than a simple display set (We would just buy display models otherwise, instead of Legos). I would buy such a Lego set because I know when I look at it, that the very soul of the car is inside it. Functionality meets elegance, and this is a tribute for the original model I would agree to pay 400€ for.

For looks alone system pieces are far better than technic. The Lego Mustang looks far better for a third of the price. (OK, it´s much smaller, but think about a 1/8 scale SYSTEM BRICK built car for 300-400 Euros!)

the lamborghini solves more than just the sticker issue. the gear shifting system and the suspension had been improved compared to the bugatti.
You can buy light kits online too for the cars with instructions.
I like your quote at 9:18😂 and as always thanks for the Ferrari review but I will still sticking back to my Sián.
I'm happy that this set doesn't have stickers, the print looks awesome! The hood is geniously built.
Nice video.
Really enjoying your review(s) for this set 😊 I think the gearbox is great and one of the most appealing things about assembling a model like this. I guess it depends on whether you prioritise display value or build value. For vehicles that look great with limited function, there is the creator expert line.
Creator Expert cars recently have more usable functions, just sayin ;) Take a look at Ecto-1!
@@RacingBrick You are not wrong 😅 But gearboxes are cool ✌🏻 Gotta say it's pretty funny that the manual for the Daytona doesn't even mention the functions... 🤣
I just picked this set up today. I have all the previous 3 cars that have been released in this ‘series’ (Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini) so I’m really looking forward to having this on my shelf with them.
“Don’t touch it because you might be disappointed.” Well said! Also agree with your “look/display piece” view.
I can only speak for myself, but i enjoy the engine and gearbox features. They are interedting to bulid and it's cool how lego can make these functions work using small pieces of plastic. They should definitely stay in my opinion.
I just finished building mine, and I have to say while I hate Ferrari I do really really like this Daytona, I got some shivers when building the front quarter corner and rear, flash backs to the original Test Car’s front bumper, plus all that red and black and blue seats, harking back to the Test Car, one thing though that bugs me about the Ferrari, the fact it has a removable roof panel takes away the rigidity, it’s quite the floppy model, I think it’s funny how a 30 yr old technic model can be so much more ridged than an up to date one, looking forward to the next super car
Agree with your review
I mean, its a shelf 1:8 car, not something to play around, but it is still a Lego Technic set. So by the looks, I can definetly see an evolution with very few gaps, and it has a gerabox just like the Sián. so For me it's an evolution, because of the looks.
oh, one thing many people don't point out is regarding gaps:
Many gaps aren't just oversights in the design process, but are meant to be there. If you look at the real car you'll see some gaps, like in the front hood the two big gaps are meant to be there, since are also in the real Daytona sp3.
So great review as always, I like that you criticize what you don't like, since an unbiased review is the best choice, but I feel like more people should compare the set to the real car when talking about gaps and stuff.
(I'm talking only about gaps, not about errors, which are undeniable)
One advantage of the UCS stickers in Star Wars sets: you don't see that fugly point in the middle of the plate. I'll wait to purchase this set until a proper pimp-my-build of it is available on rebrickable. I already can see numerous improvements like hand-of-god steering, gear indicator, springs to keep the doors and bonnet open.
And here I am, playing with my 42039 that even has a B model.
I am the target audience and I love the complex gearboxes and the suspension and diff setups etc on these 1:8 scale models.
They’re not there to be used, they’re there for you to know that they’re there, and to my mind that’s fine.
As a car lover the engine gearbox and chassis are the most enjoyable part of the build, they’d be just as cool without all the body panels in a lot of cases to me - or if the body came away from the chassis like in the case of the GT3 - I would display them without the bodies on them.
So we have orange, blue, green and red so far to I assume we will get yellow next but after that they will have to make a violet or pink supercar, fingers crossed 🤞
Listening to your reviews is so relaxing)
I've been interested in getting one of the 1:8 scale sets but been conflicted on which to get. This looks great but I think the Bugatti looks the best. I think them forgetting to add the pieces for the diffuser in the manual shows that they've been fighting the current issues of the world with the rest of us. I'm sure their QA team will be hearing about it.
I have all 3 and will be getting the 4th the sian or chiron are def the best but imo the sian is still the best out of the 4. it has the most supreme building experience and has a really good design with barely andy gaps while the bugatti has lots of gaps.
I agree with the previous response - I would go for the Sian if I were you (I have all 3 of them). You can get it for a relative decent price if you keep your eyes open (around 250 eur).
I want to get my first 1:8 but Im not sure which,any suggestions?
have the Porsche here and it's not bad though it def shows it's age from how its constructed compared to the other 3, always wanted to add the Bugatti to the collection, but have heard the suspension isn't strong enough and will sag overtime while on display, don't actually have the set so I don't know just how bad or quick the springs give out, but that kept me from buying it
woow... Ferrari gonna freak out when they find out about the lambo gearbox IN their Ferrari 🤣
I think the instruction for engine cover is wrong causing it to not stay open. Someone compared the instruction and the picture in the booklet and noticed some differences. I read it on Lego's review page for Daytona SP3.
Honestly, I think that the gearbox adds to the technical aspect of the set. With sets like the Raptor, 488 GTE, 911 RSR, McLaren F1 Car and many others, people complain about the lack of functionality and even extend to saying that these are not Technic sets. However, with these supercars, they include practically everything that is there on a real car, and people complain that it's too much. To be fair, it would be nice if the gearbox was more realistic or less repetitive, but I guess it is somewhat due to the limitation of the pieces. Going back to personal opinion, I love the gearboxes in these things. It really adds to the idea that you are building a Technic set, regardless of it being a "display model". This seems to be the only way that they can live up to the name on the box. I just don't understand the controversy behind it.
Smaller Technic sets are meant to be played, so having working and useable functions is desired. The gearbox in this set serves no purpose, the set is too big to be playable and it is a dedicated display piece, therefore having a gearbox that will never be used does not make much sense.
@@RacingBrick but it adds immensly to the building experience. And just knowing your display modell has a carefully and brilliantly designed chassis absolutley makes it feel much more exciting, than just an empty carosserie shell only ment for display
@@fuchs_1053 it adds so much to the building experience that even the quality folks at LEGO did not realize that the gear sequence is incorrect, so practically nobody cares about the things really going on there. It could be a bunch of random gears with a sticker that says "99 speed gearbox" and people would be still happy.
@@RacingBrick It's hard to say in a better way :)
I think they should just put all these technic vehicles without technic features into their own group. Kinda like they did with the larger technic based Ferraris that were part of Lego Racers. Maybe put them under the speed champions umbrella and keep the technical stuff in technic.
I have mixed feelings on this set. It definitely looks excellent and is the best in terms of looks out of the 4 1:8 scale supercars. But the internal functions, errors and price are still major issues that stop me from buying it
My personal one is how cheap it’s packaged for being more expensive than the Bugatti and the Sian, they had amazing packaging, this one, just plastic bags.
Yesss! That´s why I bought the Cada Ferrari 458!
@@philp8872 that set is excellent as it's fully rc with gearbox at a fraction of lego's prices, still the quality of the bricks can be improved
@@THEMOCCHANNEL I had no issues with the quality of the parts. Only some small parts that are mounted with just ONE stud fall off when driving RC and hiting something or when the set is picked up without care. But that would be the same with genuine Lego parts.
Brunos design is gorgeous, and I appreciate Cada implementing it and paying him for the design work. It´s like a MOC that would cost 700-1000 Euros collecting the parts at Bricklink, far better than Legos "supercars".
@@THEMOCCHANNEL I bought the cada Ferrari and I have to say that the quality of the pieces was just phenomenal. I don't know if it mine was a "good batch", but I didn't experience issues whatsoever. Racingbrick in a past video showed how on his model he usually loses pieces while using the RC drive feature, and I didn't. So, surely many people experienced issues with quality of the pieces, but overall I'd say that it's by far the best alternative to lego, compared to other knockoff brands. Lego, as of today, is still unrivaled, but cada could be a closer competitor if they had more quality control
As always great review.
On a side note: I have the Lambo and I did not know the doors opened up that way and here I am just pulling on the doors. Duh!!!
I like new diff (just wish there would be more than just one), wheels and shock absorbers and all new panels. But I am disappointed that internally is is just striped down lambo.
So, we already have some "display" sets without functions like 42125, 42141 :) As a 20-year Technic fan, I would be happy to see a supercar with a lot of functions in Technic line. I can call ten functions or more which could be implemented in the supercar, but the progress was stopped after Bugatti. Sian has absolutely the same gearbox as Bugatti and now we have the third one. It's Ok to sell the product, but it's not about "perfection", "only the best is good enough" and so on :)
that's the problem of hardcore lego fans/builders, who build every lego set they can get: it's just not necessary to invent a new gearbox in each set or other functions just because hardcore builders are tired of same approaches) furthermore, I believe such premium sets as this Ferrari is mostly for Ferrari fans or just for people who wants to try this kind of build. or, if you will, to get a massive showstopper for their living room. so my point is: I'm certain that for most buyers it will be the first 1:8 scale supercar or even the first lego technic set
I posted this already as a seperate comment, but I think It fits perfectly in here, so excuse me about repeating:
Take a look at the old legendary supercars like 8865 and 8880: They were targeted at older children/ teenagers who didn´t "play" with Lego anymore but enjoyed building and to have some RL functions to be shown. Their gearboxes where great considering the parts available. And I think they weren´t shifted too often either and being placed on a shelf after the builder figured out how they work.

What I find disappointing is that there is no evolution concerning functions. What about functional disc brakes, a functional clutch, steering controlled headlights, LED lights, RC (like the Cada Ferrari) or maybe just a small motor to show the transmission speeds when the car is jacked up ...
There are so many possibilities, but Lego ignores this and just keeps milking the collectors cow.
A Lego Technic car of this size could implement all of this for a 400,- price tag, there are enough MOCers to prove this!
@@ronnieblackheart I don´t think so. Lego (at least the sets with a similar price tag like this one) is all about collectors. If somebody already has the Porsche, the Bugatti and the Lamborghini, he don´t wants to miss the 4th in this row.
I can understand that as I´m a collector myself. The question is: How far can Lego stretch this without introducing new functions (Technic line) or something else that is revolutinary or at least a major evolution (looks, etc).
@@philp8872 What I like in the 8880 gearbox most of all is that we can see all the gears and understand how it works
@@philp8872 Debatable. A 1/8 scale creative is simply too heavy and is not achievable, as is mentioned in the video. As for all the functions you mentioned, functional clutch is far more complicated than you think, simply because of the scale. Just look at the size of a gear box in any lego set, and you would have an idea of why that's an issue. Steering controlled head light? again, think of the scale and if they are possible to build. A somewhat achievable one is the functional brake disc, where there already have been MOCs out there achieving that with the soft 1x2 beam. But then, it won't look as good. Everything else can all be achieved by modifying your own set. Is the price a bit too high? Most likely. Then again, licensed stuffs have always been very expensive, and it applies to everything, including toys.
I removed the gearbox from my technic Land Rover defender, and I put in the control+ system from the buggy, I think if they did something like that with these that would be cool
So the Lego indeed can make a large set without stickers! Shocker!!!
100% agree with your opinion around not needing the complex gearbox. My 2 supercars are displayed under perspex cases and rarely get touched. These sets aren't for play, for moving around, for seeing complex technic functions. They need to look amazing on display. That's it.
but they need to be nice to build, and having functions such as the gearbox adds a lot to the building experience, not only in terms of time that it takes to build it. If I just want a display set I buy "real" models, made out of plastic and metal. I personally buy LEGO also for what they offer in terms of building experience
I only buy the technic sets for their mechanisms. Although they make great display sets , sometimes some child visits the house and gets surprised with all the functionality. I believe they should in fact keep implementing more mechanisms in their models.
I don't buy a set without watching the Review by you.
I agree with you with the lights even the new Batmobile for $100 has lights!
The card you get with the set in 1:21 you can see, this was actually quite an old feature, it was there in the bat mobile or the tumbler set
Wasn't printed though. It was a sticker
Love the intro 😅
Best and most honest lego reviewer on youtube 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m surprised people seem to hate this set so much. This thing is a piece of art
The LEGO conversion is. But the original Ferrari looks scheisse. Like if a truck ran into the back and the body panels fell off.
looks like you are playing that tooth pushing of that shark 😂 fantastic video, late comments though
How did mount your cars that way on the wall? I have acrylic I can build my own, curious to see the inside.
You can find more details here - ua-cam.com/video/Bps9_pd-A8A/v-deo.html
It would be cool if they made modular technic lego cars with swappable parts accessible from any point in the build.
Great overview but I have to vehemently but respectfully disagree with the gearbox complaint as it is something I would literally purchase the Lego engines just to connect to the car and watch it's function. Bring able to build an actually fully functional 8 speed sequential gearbox with forward, reverse, and neutral is never not going to be absolutely amazing and I hope I can get my hands on one!
Racing brick is to me clearly the best Lego Technic Channel on YT. Very entertaining and competent reviews. I really like how you show all the details regarding parts and building techniques. For new sets, I always watch your videos first and then Sariel as a second opinion and I know if the set is a buy for me or not. Keep up the great work!
While I was too late for the Porsche, I was lucky enough to receive the Bug and the Lamb from my parents for the holidays (also counted as birthday those years). I also correctly predicted a red Ferrari as the next 1:8 supercar when the Sian came out, so I think it'll be easy to subtly hint it. Absolutely worth the combined holiday/birthday prizes.
Thank you for the truly unbiased review of this kit. Your review is absolutely valuable before this kit on market.
I have the lambo, the bugatti and the 911 RSR, but this one doesn't seem worth getting besides just storing it and selling it in a year or two. I love the complex gearboxes of all of these even though they are just display pieces. Knowing it's in there is enough for me, but this one seems like a devolution instead of an evolution of the previous supercars. I would love this scale for the porsche 919 or the audi R18, the lemans cars, but that will never happen I guess.
I agree - Lego should to do this perfection harder, for example: door opening handle outside💁♂️ I think we could forgive all simplicity of this set, if LEGO made this external feature
It's a techinic set so gears and mechanical features are a must. Even if the functions are complex or annoying to use I would like to have it and building it rather than having an empty shell of an display piece. If I want less mechanical functions and less technic then I would go for a creator display piece like the white porshe. I wish creator and techinc could merge more to give a more nicer looking model with even less gaps and still have the technical complexities of techinic under the surface. For the price I think lego should create more custom lego / techinic pieces to make the model even more like the real car.
Great review as always. I think I would have preferred some panel gaps and external door openers like on the Sian as opening the doors on this model does not seem to be a smooth process, and my reactions are definitely not fast enough! ;) Roll on the 1st...
I actually think and based on comment people agree. The gearbox is a nice thing to have. Fun to build. Buthopefully they evolve it somehow and dont just copy the old one.
nice video - i missed a little bit the lower part of the car review brds
Check out the previous video, it has all the possible details about the chassis during building
Never really been bothered by Ferrari. I always wanted to see Koenigsberg instead such as the Jesko. Ever since I saw the custom car made by creator I always wanted Lego to make one.
Honestly this set doesn't offer a lot for the price tbh. I'm going to have to skip on this one bc for $400 we should be getting more functions!! Great review once again :)
I heard that the set won't be available everywhere on June 1, for some countries it would be August. I'm from Belarus and hope to get this set as soon as possible. Finally 1:8 lego supercar that I like!
I may have a theory: first orange, then blue, green and now red. I belive, if they make a new 1:8 supercar, it will be purple. Secondary, then primary and it continues.
I would LOVE to get purple parts!
I'd love to have a purple supercar, but I think it depends a lot on the manufacturer they partner with. Porsche could've had any color, but Ferrari had to be red, Lamborghini had to have a "strange" color (and lime just fitted), while Bugatti could've been any color, but the blue was the most common one.
I don't think any "classic" supercar would fit in purple, maybe a Pagani (but it's not as famous as the 4 they've used). If they were to make a Mercedes or an Audi, probably we'd see grey or white. Maybe an Aston Martin in dark green, but if we were to follow your ideal scheme the Purple wouldn't fit many supercars
@@extranceIT Maybe a McLaren?
@@extranceIT blue was used already so if they would make a McLaren, it could be purple :)
@@RacingBrick true, although I think it depends on the look of the original car. McLaren is in between, not classic as Ferrari, but not as "exotic" as Pagani or Lamborghini, so a particular model could be nice in purple, but maybe with some details in other color, like yellow or white. A completely purple model may be just a bit too much, some blending like the one used in the Chiron
how many more years before Lego will release 1:8 motorized car.. Bruno Jenson's MOCs eats Lego designs for breakfast.
I hope LEGO will never release a 1:8 motorized car, as that scale is simply too big and heavy for the LEGO motors. A supercar crawling around the room is so pathetic.
You know. As a person in the target audience I would be highly disappopinted if the gearbox and suspension were NOT part of this car. I don't want another Creator set, I want to be challenged to build a very complex Technic hypercar. There is a whole community who will go all out the next months upgrading and adjusting every bit of the technical side of this amazing car, like they did on the previous 3. You clearly have to check out and take an interest in the MOC and modding community of the Lego hobby. The car looks great now, but I can't wait to see what all the people who modded the 3 previous cars will do.
Lego did a great job matching the ugly looks of the real car very well.
I actually think the gearbox is a major selling point of these sets. The 1:8th scale vehicles aren't just replicas of a car's shape, they're absolutely pushing the boundries of what can be achieved with the LEGO (Technic) system by incorporating the mechanical features as close to how they function in the original thing as possible. Like it's absolutely mind-blowing to me that you can create a working paddle-operated gear shifting mechanism with just LEGO parts, and such a smooth one at that. Sure it would reduce the price if these functions were omitted, but I see them as a necessity for this line. It's all about the building process and the knowledge that yes, this is all LEGO and yes, you made it (though someone else designed it, but that's impressive in another way of course).
missed opportunity to do something new. Like adding more controls to open the panels; maybe we can have spring assisted hoods and engine covers that can be activated/opened from within the cabins like in the real cars. Can't even have a functioning spoiler on this specific car because Ferrari doesn't like visible spoilers.
Idk about evolution in a technical way but for sure in a design way, it looks great, wish it had a better interior but it looks great
I think I'm going to grab the Lamborghini while I still can. Cheaper, more features, and I love the doors.
The chassis and attached panels seem very loose on the Ferrari. Not at risk of falling off mind you, but just floppy. What would you say is the sturdiest of the four 1:8 scale cars?
I'm happy that lego almost stop utilising Flex tubes and they should give luggage bag too.... 🔥🔥
"don't touch it, because you might be dissapointed"
heard that before...
Frunk! Haha, best word heard in a sentence.
I’ve heard it numerous times, but the way he says it, funny. I’d rather have no door/engine features for a more detailed body and a factory light kit.
We love the functions!!!
This set has an awesome side profile
I really wish they would give us hand of god steering on these models at some point, and just make it so the knob is easily removable like theyre doing on the cheaper sets as well
The lukes lanspeeder cockpit peice would've been perfect for the windshield
not really, the width might be similar, but the curvature, depth and height does not really match
I showed this set to my wife last night. She asked me if I wanted it. I told her, "If was going to spend $400 on a set, I'd put more with it. And get the Titanic."
My instruction was complete with those two parts to put in place. Maybe there was a printing flaw for some instruction books.
Although i still like the new 1:8 scale cars but i'm total agree with your review!!
Also with the missing luxury bags feature, i think i will build i RIMOWA luggage by myself lol
Wishing I had your job! Love the Part 1 and 2!
I personally took it in a way that the gearbox is not for functionality all though it is very functional, I like to think that it makes the building experience last longer and more complex.
I like the gearboxes but I wish Lego would offer Powered Up kits to upgrade these larger sets to be RC. Some of the older sets came with instructions on how to add power functions (42006 for example).
i mean it got smoother so ig it’s a nice evolution from the other sets
Since the price point is still the highest, I think some mechanical details is still necessary. The look is getting better and more sturdy 🤩
Yes of course a revolution: all peaces are printed ... also the "UCS" plaque :-O ... now they must print the Star Wars UCS plaques!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it looks nice but it still has quite a few issues ... so it's pretty fitting for an italian car I guess! They probably just wanted to go for authenticity! :D
The biggest issue though for me personally I guess is the inner workings looking like an exploded set of Play-Dohs. So many colours on a 400$ set is just ridiculous! :D
This car has gone one step forward (the exterior) and one step back (the features, or lack of them).
Honestly even tho i agree its unfortunate that we dont get allot of features but Honestly i see the 1/8 and 1/10 scales as a display piece only.
Really love your honest genuine reviews. I am still happy it's a technic set and not a creator set. I look forward to the details in the build as I enjoy the entire experience over multiple weeks before I complete each build. I really take my time and do just a little each day after long work hours to destress. It gives me joy to know the amount of creativity that went into creating such craft. This will be my 4th 1:8 piece and when I have friends over they are always impressed and in awe. As always your videos are top notch. Keep up the great work!!
I disagree about functions. I LOVE the complexity of the functions in these 1/8 cars. I never use them, but when I show them off people are always amazed that a Lego car has a working gearbox.
I enjoy Lego mostly for the build. The more complex, the better.
I wrote a comment about stickers at previous video. I hope Lego will offer printed bricks at all sets in future but there is more distance until this happen.
i agree i dont think this cars need a gearbox, i think it would be beter if we had maybe a simple 4 speed gearbox on 1:10 cars without paying more for them
Technic SuperCars are about the build experience, the part count (higher and higher) and the display potential. If you're looking for a toy, look elsewhere.
There are a few other sets that have that board that shows the specs. Two that I know of are the NASA Discovery Space Shuttle and the Millenium Falcon (the 7500 piece)
Great video
to the question of the "sense of perfection", in one of the promo photos, the model has a rear-view mirror attached crookedly😂
I aggree you saying that these don't need lots of functions especially when you add lights to it (there will be a light kit for it soon), the Bugatti is the only 1/8th scale super car I have it has a light kit which is also connected to my landrover and tumbler so they do not move (in part this is because I have not manged the postioning especially the rear lights if I press on the supension the wires might break) but I personally like to display my sets not play with them. I do also like the build experience. I think I would them with best to worst as the following Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamboghini then porsche
I think this set targets a particular cohort very well; those who want a challenging build, and an awesome display model. There are other sets for those who want functional technical and creator sets for aesthetics, this melds both really well. Tempting set.
you know lego 8070? its only few bucks and can do much more. Love these old technics...
