-Width: 18cm

-Height: 16cm

-Weight: 2120g

Functions:

-Drive (XL motor)

-Full suspension (Front- MCPherson/ Rear- twist bean axle)

-Fake 4 cylinders engine

-Openable door, hood and rear trunk

-Working steering wheel

-Adjustable front seats

It has a deatiled engine and interior. BatteryBox and IR receiver are in trunk.

Awesome model !

I am really likeing that McPherson suspention 

[Attika]

Oh, you've built my childhood ido l.... And the way you did it, just wow.  I love it.

[Leonardo da Bricki]

Great model! The suspension is cool, and it fits well into the engine bay.

[DugaldIC]

This is awesome,  you managed to capture the boxy body very well and I love all the little added overlooked details, like the cowel and stripe down the side! Very well done 

[John Daniels]

What a truly impressive model. The level of detail that you have added is exceptional. Your video is wonderful, the perfect showcase for the model. I am embarrassed to say that I did a quick scan of the model earlier and had passed it off as "okay," but after seeing the video I see the error in my previous assessment! Really excellent work all around!

I feel like if you changed the front end slightly and one or two other things, it would be a Lancia Delta Integrale. Great MOC!

[Aleh]

Wooooow! How beautiful! What a detalization! Fantastic build!
If You will make the instructions, I built the model of my childhood...

[Jurss]

Really good detail level. 

One of my little dream cars, but as I have now technics, there's no money for that

It looks very cool and with such number of details; really good.   Like we were back in the past where things were simpler than today (talking about cars)

Yes, older cars were simpler...

Wow it is a really great biuld! Every mechanical component (except gearbox, probably) is in place, plus it is remotely controlled. It is quite an achievement in that scale. Every time I change the wheels on my Golf, I am telling myself, I need to recreate that suspension in Lego. You have totally nailed it! I love the frontal drive line setup: XL, differential, bevel gears, chain and fake engine - brilliant! And great work on the video! That first view with the cooling towers really sets the mood.

I think it is the first FWD car lego technic I have seen, very nice build As usual, I should add. I like your style of building.

Could you please show the front axle without wheels?

[Meatman]

I like this better than the real car.

[jorgeopesi]

I am very impressed, very good job, realistic and small, MOCs like this make me want to build again  .

...and easier to maintain. Very nice model. At the first I thought that you made with Unimog tires, but then I realized that they are 62.4 Tires used for smaller model. Nice change with all super and hypercar models is to have model that is more "down to Earth"

I would double that. Thanks.

[Lox Lego]

This build is epic!! The side shot is perfect. I love the engine bay and lights. Well done!!

[agrof]

I am not a fan of stacked beams, but this build is amazing, instantly recognizable. I also admire the video presentation You made, we start to catch up Top Gear in quality.  Top notch work!

That's an awesome model! I really like the interior especially - it contrails the all needed parts despite the size. It's very close to Model Team precise, well done!

Sorry for a little off-top, but I just remembered the craziest Franco Sbarro's modification of MK1: Sbarro Golf Turbo 1980 with a Porshe 911 engine (in the trunk) and RWD: http://www.4legend.com/2016/volkswagen-golf-turbo-sbarro-de-1983-moteur-porsche-911-turbo-de-300-ch

And with the most interesting feature:
