“While clearly intended to be a dune buggy, the unusual styling may be a hint at the reason behind the name. This model has huge tires and features steering, suspension, a removable engine, and opening doors and hatch. Unlike many sets of the era, it is not scaled for... More Technic figures and does not use the standard monolithic seats but instead builds up very nicely sculpted seats with bricks.”

“8437 was a sort-of dune buggy, Paris-Dakar type thing, but so loose was its affiliation with the real world vehicles on which it was apparently based in some markets LEGO called it the ‘Future Car’ to hide its inaccuracies. The Sahara Blaster also came with the option of... More bundling in LEGO’s new 9V motor, which could be slotted into the rear in place of the piston engine in just a few seconds.”

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.
Summary
Technic Future Car set 8437 was released in August 1997, retailing for $54, but has since been retired. New, unopened Future Car sets are valued at $109, while used sets can be found for $53 in good condition.
