Let's hope the tires and rims are the same size.

If you look at the print of the tires, they are the same ones as the Porsche (81.6x44 R), so that's not an issue. What might be troublesome is that the rims could be slightly different... We'll see. We are probably just weeks away from pictures.

Weren't those new rims fitted with pins instead of holes ?

This could mean there will be new hubs, wich could be great,.... if sold separately at some point.

Or there will be functional disk brakes inside...

[Permo]

That would be cool !

Soon we will know.

Do you mean release for sale?

[Leewan]

I think he's referring to this :

Also, according to this site, the box of the Chiron weighs more than 6,8 kg.

[Jockos]

Can be this May 16th release a Creator set? (just curious)

Yes, rollercoaster and Chiron.

 

[Jockos]

Thanks! I somehow managed to misread the quantity

OMG!!!! That is 2 kg more than the Porsche Box. For sure the instruction booklet will be bigger in number of pages, but for sure not 1 kg heavier than Porsche instruction. Maybe model will be way heavier than 911?

[Bartelas]

Well... it has nearly 900 more pieces

Rollercoaster is a exclusive D2C set?

There's one exclusive and one not.

Looks like it. The usual potato quality hype photo and we should get better ones before the end of the month.

[Jaromir]

[LithuanianTF]

Wow, good find! It does look like it for sure. It probably isn't a real Chiron blurred out given the gaps in the front and the hood...

[Bartelas]

Come on man! As if TLG would do extra work to get rid of “some holes”. I’m furious when they charge big money for cutting corners and not putting extra work into a model of this magnitude.

Dude i didnt say anything about those gaps, just trying to make it like a joke, cause i remember that sariel didnt say a good word about porches gaps

The triangle thing surrounding the wheel looks like a combination of panel #3 #4 and the wheel arch panel.

Unfortunately it does appear to have some pretty big holes. But I'll wait until we learn more before I judge it too harshly.
