“Look at that colour! This Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is certainly eye-catching, what with its racing stripes and iconic shape. Interestingly, is comes with bull-back motors, which is unusual for a LEGO Technic set of this size. It also makes use of a LEGO Technic AR set,... More which allows you to race the car on a virtual track. That’s pretty cool; we’re guessing it’s something we’ll see in more Technic sets throughout 2022.”

Brick Fanatics
“42138 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is seemingly designed to appeal to younger Technic fans, or to entice builders who may not have been bitten by the Technic bug yet. It’s a fairly simple build, has built in battery-free fun with those pull-back motors and, when the racing’s... More over, looks good enough to display. It might not be as pretty as some of the Creator vehicles, but you can’t send them charging across the floor.”
