42096 Porsche 911 RSR

Sometimes it makes me think, due to the lack of functions, the first criteria of any given set is the price range it will occupy.

Last 2 pictures from amazon.de product page. Can't believe they put images with the confidential stamp there. I know according to the rules I'm not supposed to post pictures with confidential watermark but the high quality pictures of this set have been out for some weeks so I think it doesn't hurt anyone.

Looks like it was designed by Uwe. Front axle is similar to the 42077´s one

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

At least there's suspension... but overall this set is glorified 42077.

[Bartybum]

It looks so awkward with those small wheels

The yellow engine cranks were orange in the other picture

Do not understand where is the gearbox handle? And why is the black beam behind the 8x4 plate...

The seat is simply ugly!

...but it is a race seat and the only purpose of racing seat is to keep drivers body  in perfect position for racing 

I know that it won't win beauty content, but it is not "Kustom" Porsche it is RSR version, so functionality is key issue. Of course when I see LEGO model in real life I could judge (for myself) whether is it ugly or not

We have gotten used to having nice designed curved seats in Lego Technic models. Here I see a bunch of beams instead...

Agree with you, but nice curved seats are mostly for road versions because comfort is very important for everyday use

It seems, there are lot of gears for steering. It means pretty big slack

20 years ago Lego designers knew, how to solve the problem. But not now...

It looks so...some alternative (attachable) HOG would increase playability

I only dreamt about the wonderful car in mid 90s...

Wait this has a gearbox?

[Magical Duck]

The leg space under the steering wheel is even worse than the Chiron's...

From what we can tell no :( he was just wondering why it isn’t there.

I’m pretty sure the real car has a flappy paddle gearbox anyway.

Real RSR has paddle shifting system for sequential gearbox

seeing the straight on side view I think the front overhang looks way too big and i agree the wheels are slightly on the small side
