Frequenzberater Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Ok summarized, there are obviously no working brakes, no brake lights and no paddle shifters. I wonder if there is a unique function and what it could be. Edited May 24, 2018 by Frequenzberater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danee Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) So it looks like this set won't get the "premium packaging" like the 42056? The cardboard seems to be very thin, on the one hand, it loses a bit of its "premium" feel, on the other hand, could LEGO prevent the scenario we had with the Porsche, two years ago.

The rear wing can be lowered/raised (if not, it would have been visible in the front view), and by the looks of it it'll rotate too (for the air-brake function). It of course remains to be seen how 'automated' this will be. [EDIT] The high-res pic I just saw shows two blue 3L and two black 2L pins, i.e. all friction pins, which would facilitate tilting of the wing. That would make it 'pose-able', not 'movable'. Oh well. And besides, it's not as if I have ever gotten anything right from looking at leaks/prelims :) Edited May 24, 2018 by JimDude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ngoc Nguyen Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) There will be either a knob for the spoiler or a linkage to a brake pedal or sth. Cant imagine it's manual, like grabbing the spoiler and pull it up from the rear. Since it's a premium model I would be inclined towards the latter. That could also be the wow function for this set.

ibessonov Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Judging from the hole in the middle, new discs are compatible with old rims so we'll see them in other sets for sure. Edited May 24, 2018 by ibessonov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maaboo the Witch Posted May 24, 2018 I am the last person to get excited about cars, but this thing is seriously cool. I was a bit underwhelmed with the front, but the back rocks! Great detailing and shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think so too. If you use them for existing rims (using 3 2L pins), the offset will increase by at least half a stud, depending on the exact geometry of the new hubs.

MajklSpajkl Posted May 24, 2018 Sweeeeeet laaaaawd, now this is one sweet lookin' behind. Jim was 100% right - I'm sold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted May 24, 2018 Oh man... I'm not still dreaming, am I?! That rear looks awesome!!! Not entirely sold on the front yet, but it appears to be more aggressive than the real thing. 2 new flex axles, 7L dark blue!! and 19L (?) in medium blue. (PLEASE, Lego, PLEASE!!!!)

Rudivdk Posted May 24, 2018 Looks spectacular! 7l flexaxle is new in dark blue. But on the rear I see the same as in the front: no connectors in bodywork color, just beams and panels. Connectors in black are even visible in between the dark blue here... I really hoped for at least a few recolored connectors... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bekesizoltan Posted May 24, 2018 It looks great! The only thing is what we don't know the features. Ok, no breaks, but what else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seasider Posted May 24, 2018 Better than expected, I love it and will get this straight away ... well done Lego, the back end looks amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allanp Posted May 24, 2018 Back end looks crazy well done! I don't see any paddle shifters and the gear stick in the middle appears to only move forward and backward by a small amount, so I wonder what's going on with the gearbox! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Even a donkey doesn't fall in the same hole twice." I think there will be no gearbox.
