Review for LEGO set 1496 Rally Car from
“This rally car set features a sleek black design with red accents and the number "2" prominently displayed. It stands out with a raised rear, a spoiler, and rally-style front lights, including fog lights for added detail. While it follows a classic city car style, it pairs... More well with other sets in the theme.”
