Super Car Reviews
The Lego Car Blog
“If you compare this to more modern sets, like 42056 or 42039, it becomes instantly clear that you're getting a lot in this set in terms of functions and looks. It may or may not be the best LEGO supercar ever released, but it's indisputable that you're getting a pretty sweet... More deal when you factor in the price. Maybe LEGO put a few too many holes in the aesthetics, maybe the rear could have been better executed, but overall I don't have a lot of complaints on this one.”

“There's no doubt that I have to recommend this model. It easily holds its own amongst the older cars, losing out only because it does not yet trigger any nostalgia. At the USA price, it is a great deal even for parts. Buy it.”

About Technic
TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
