A Building Experience
" I'm a little new to the Technic line, having only built the Rally Car before this. From the moment I opened the box, I knew this would be an experience. Firstly, the box design and presentation is beautiful, love the mosaic of the inner boxes. I love seeing how the engineering comes together throughout the build, and this did not disappoint in that area, the build mimics the actual build process in that the engine and gearbox are built separately and then married to the rest of the body.
Having said all that, I do have a few nitpicks/criticisms:
Having said all that, I do have a few nitpicks/criticisms:
For the price point, there are a lot of stickers; for $350 USD, I'd expect some custom-printed parts.
The joy of building the massive, 12 cylinder engine is lost under a non-opening rear decklid, you can barely see the pistons working.
The doors seem a little flimsy; only one attachment point and nothing to stop them from going too far into the cockpit when closed.
The model is so heavy, even having 2 shocks per wheel doesn't seem to be enough to hold up its weight.
No room for motors/servos to motorize.

This definitely seems to be more of a static model than something to really be "played" with, but I did really enjoy the build, and it looks fantastic. I will be moving on to the Porsche when my bank account recovers!
