Ok, this is pretty sad news. The 42214 does not have cool scissor doors, like the smaller 42212 has. Instead the 42214 solution is taking off the entire side section off. Not even a openable door like on the previous model 42176:/.

Seems the hub and battery now have 2 pinholes to fix the battery in place.

At least they improved the steering angle, seems to be some 30 degrees now, which makes it one of the highest in the latest models!

Does anyone understand what she's saying about the RPM differences at 2:30? Where does the difference come from?

Similar to 42176. Faster RPM  was "Turbo Charge"  mode

I missed that in 42176 as well. Is that part of the controller interface in the phone app? So basically it's just a bit slower by default, and this turbo charge turns it to max speed that the hub can do?

From Control+ app. Default speed is battery saving mode. Turbo charge mode will be max speed with fast battery drain.

Maybe one day they will actually use those 2 extra motor outputs xD

Hi everyone, this is not the 42214 review from RacingBrick

Hi everyone, this is finally the real 42214 review from RacingBrick 

[Fcrocks]

I think the Porsche GT4 e-Performance Race Car (42176) is faster because it weighs less and has a better turning radius.

I'm building this set on Studio and I encountered this situation. In step 171, these two parts appear to collide. 

 

Can anyone with the real set show how these two pieces interact in real life? I already checked my digital build and it seems to follow the instruction correctly.

Review - LEGO Technic 42214 Lamborghini Revuelto Super Sports Car

Great Fun, but Everything That’s Wrong with Modern Technic

 

LEGO Technic 42214 is, in many ways, a great set. It looks good, it’s fun, and it delivers a strong play experience. At the same time, it also highlights many of the issues I have with modern LEGO Technic, especially when viewed through the lens of an old-school Technic builder from the 1980s and 1990s.

 

The Positives:

The instructions are clear, logical, and easy to follow. At no point did I feel lost or unsure of what LEGO was asking me to do, which makes the build accessible and frustration-free.

 

The finished model looks very good on display. The shaping, proportions, and overall presentation are strong, and the addition of lights is something I genuinely love, they add a lot of character and help bring the model to life.

 

As my first Control+ set, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The set is genuinely fun to drive around and has a high play and fun factor. Once completed, it’s hard not to pick it up and just start using it.

 

The Negatives:

From a pure Technic perspective, the build peaks very early. After around step 65 out of 395, you could realistically add the wheels and call the functional part of the build done. From that point onward, bags 3 through 8 are largely focused on adding bodywork and panels.

 

As a result, the building process becomes increasingly repetitive. There’s a lot of “more of the same,” with little in the way of new mechanisms or engineering challenges. I had to actively resist the urge to just throw the wheels on early and start playing with it, which says a lot about both the strength of the play value, and the weakness of the build experience.

 

Overall Thoughts:

At around a 20% discount, and considering just how much fun it is to drive around, LEGO Technic 42214 is well worth it. It delivers a strong end result and an enjoyable play experience.

 

That said, as someone who grew up with Technic sets from the ’80s and ’90s, it’s hard not to feel a bit disappointed. This set perfectly illustrates how modern Technic has shifted its focus, looks have increasingly taken priority over functions. While it’s undeniably fun, it also serves as a reminder of what Technic used to be, and what I still hope it can return to someday.
