Brickset
“The completed model is surprisingly long and sleek. It does not have any camera unfriendly side and looks good from all angles. It has some nice touches like the engine intake on the front and the exhaust at the back. There is just enough space to fit a minifig (yay!). The... More pullback motor coupled with the low profile tires gives the car it's namesake Record Breaker speed! and what speed”

The Test Pit
“Both these sets are considered 'step-up' in the world of Technic, as they might not be quick and simple builds, but contain not that many more than 100 parts. Both these vehicles do contain the pull-back Technic engine block that we've had fun with many times before and... More generally look pretty awesome and unique.”
