“The 8428 Concept Car is a very unusual model. Apart from the unique wheels, this model is visually unique because the entire cage assembly is made from angled connectors, axles, and flexible tubing including the new ribbed hoses. But most special of all is the suspension... More system. Only the rear axle is suspended, but it uses an extremely clever mechanical system to switch between two different suspension geometries.”

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.
