Ha, nice! I like the style, for the size especially

Looks very good. And also will be great part pack if you need new engine parts and toilet paper roll panel.

I tried rebuilding it in Studio, minus the 60 degree "K" connectors (doesn't have them yet) so I put #5s in their place but I only managed to get 82/83 parts:

All the half-bushes are speculative as they're not visible, and I didn't build anything for brakelights.  The quarter-ellipse is perfect for old car trunks.

No new parts/colours from what Studio reports, but this is a tiny set to get the set of V-engine pieces.

Reverse engineering tried.

Io file can find on here.

I use total 82 parts. I don't know what I missed.

@Stereo was right with his build. The rear doesn't use a third 32291 connector, but a regular red bush. Also the front grill has a 7L grey axle not an 8L one.
I find it strange that the roof is only held by a single axle. It will be pretty wobbly. I would have also used a second 4l bar in the rear to protect the gear-train and try to suggest a rear bumper, or even better, add 2 more toilet paper panels to finish up the trunk. It looks incomplete tbh. Even the magazine gifts are better designed.

@R0Sch doesn't toiletpaper colide with 12 tooth bevel gear?

Shit! You're right. Forget that mod then. Even the bar scrapes on the 12T gear.

It is pure speculation, but maybe two of these pins https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=61184#T=C

(combined with two black 2 L pins) are used instead of the two blue 3 L pins at the rear... two brake light could be attached to them.

This would increase the number of parts used.

I don't think so and it's only one element that is missing. My hunch is that it's just a perpendicular connector + a trans red stud, like this:

83 pieces now.

That is why I prefer old school building (less unpleasant surprises, but much longer period of time and more possibilities for distraction )

...but rear stop light has more sense...since it is not Rattrod
