Is this the first Pullback set with steering?

[Jundis]

Yeah, seems like they use the kind of a shopping cart self-stabilizing solution with this connector in black for the front wheels?

[msk6003]

Seems like this thing also use twin pull back motor.

And we can considering other mclaren on next year, the Extreme E will be also pullback model.

So, no more Monster Jam, but yet another race car? Priorities are off here, TLG.

[Jundis]

3x11 curved panels are used here instead of the 5 wide ones!

[Zerobricks]

The steering seems to be self-centering by using the black 2393 part which offsets the wheel from it's steering point by a stud. Like wheels on a shopping cart. The new panel is a greata ddition, especially since you can now use 2 of these to fill a 4 studs wide space without gaps which was not possible before. I don't see any launch mechanism though, but I think this might be the fastest pullback since is so light and small, yet powered by 2 motors.

What are those weird animal wing-like orange panels on the top? Is that from another theme, or something new?

Steering feels a bit sloppy - and cannot be locked /as seen in the video/. Why does this irritate me?
Steering can be locked by a 3L high construction including the steering rack. /I've made one with 4L height while unlocked in my 42106 models/ It may be possible even at 2L.

Two pullbacks in a circle would be fun to watch for sure, but can't compete with the Porsche 42137 in a drag race.
