I can't find any rare parts.

Maybe the metallic silver 5 spoked rims:).

The suspension of the rear axle was also interesting, solid axle with ball joint and links.

Though I'm pretty sure this new one also has a rear solid axle, and I would at least guess it's constructed similarly

I want to believe it too. However for the life of me I cannot see any shock absorber through the open trunk. And in no picture the rear axle is compressed...

Look at the side view, you can see red shocks.

The differential on this one is housed in a 5x7 frame so maybe this model’s rear suspension is a live axle suspension. Line on Arocs, Zetros, G500, Extreme Adventure:).

Here is the red spring holding the rear axle:).

Also, looking at the top view, there are no suspension arms or wheel hubs on the rear axle, so a live axle setup seems likely.

[2GodBDGlory]

A live axle is also just the realistic option for one of these cars

[Divitis]

Thanks guys. 👍

Ok, interesting public. Gr says. That this model has a transmission. Well, it could be a translation error. But it will be interesting if lego actually maded at least a simple 2 speed transmission for this one:). 

Experience the ultimate building experience and enter the world of legendary street racers with the LEGO Technic Fast and Furious Dodge Charger R/T set , which offers you a demanding but exciting challenge full of detail and authenticity. As you assemble the powerful V8 engine, transmission and suspension, you discover how real mechanisms work, combining passion for cars with technical knowledge. Iconic details, such as NOS cylinders and a fire extinguisher, complete the experience and give character to a model that also stands out as a decoration. This is a car model that unites power, engineering and cinematic inspiration, offering you a complete experience of creation and expression.

A transmission is not necessarily a gearbox. It just means the rotation from the wheels is transmitted via the differential to the fake engine.

You can see in the mirroring of the underside how the live axle and diff is connected to the rear wheels.

We don't have enough cars in the Technic lines so that they redo sets that were available like 5 years ago (42111).

Unbelievable.

Yeah, and also they remake their sets in a new color like the rumored 42241 which is a green variant of the 42222 bugatti chiron purrr sport;).

Did it remove the front lift function from the 42111?

I remembered something - there was more proper tires for this - from rear of 42223 , why they didn't used them?

This one is larger than the 42223 I think.
