Well done. Looks spectacular. 

[McHaleBerg]

this thing is awesome, might have to pick one up

[JGW3000]

Reminds of a Springsteen tune for some reason; well done Lego.

[Scene]

I have to say that this is one of the best car designs LEGO has done imo, and the "pimp-my-ride" optional extras just adds more Greek siren temptation to the boy in me.

You know the set is good when even Sariel is struggling to find fault with it. Credit to Psiaki here for raising the bar not only on the Creator Expert line, but for Lego car building in general. The customizable add-ons are fantastic, and I really appreciate the extra effort taken to use prints over stickers for essential detailing, and to provide new wheel hubs allowing for better steering geometry. Personally, I think this model outshines the Technic Porsche & Chiron sets, especially in terms of value for money.

[Kevin Flemming]

This is easily one of the best-looking replica models to date, and it's not even Technic.

[BrickWild]

Using this video:

I managed to recreate this in Stud.io!

Just waiting for the unique new parts for the next software update!

Stud.io is a bit better than LDD.

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

This review totally rock me ...Ford Mustang is a real icon from 1967!

[bitbamboo]

Awesome model, and after seeing many reviews, spectacular photos. Are they from Lego?

 

IMHO this is better than this year's technic Porsche. Looks even better and almost the same number of functions; just lacks suspension...

[anatem]

I'm a Technic dude, but this is insta-buy.

[gotoAndLego]

It's a tiny detail, but they nailed the car radio, points for the depressed radio-station button.

Last year's Bond car didn't move me, but I'm buying this.

[Digger of Bricks]

Aesthetically speaking, this has to be my second favorite Creator Expert car next to 2016's VW Beetle, no doubt due to its own predominant usage of another rarer-than-most shade of blue!  

[JJ Tong (zfogshooterz)]

Wow! I gotta say, I'm liking the "pimped-up" version of this. That's some muscle! (Love the supercharger) And the engine is quite nicely detailed too!

The review on TBB says that the stripes, white detailing, and the vents by the windows are all printed. The latter surprised me, because on some of the earlier pictures they looked very much like stickers. Honestly, the fact that those details are printed means that I don't have any doubts about picking this set up - stickers would have put me on the fence.

[coinoperator]

When I look F.A. at the radio I see clearly an edge around the print, even a shadow of it...
Same goes for the yellow license plate.

It's not possible to say anything about the tile with the Mustang logo or the striping due to the angle of photography and/or colors.

Lego stickers are horrible quality due to the lack of UV protection.

Nevertheless... I like this car and will for sure add it to my collection.

 

Edit:

"Down the center is a radio courtesy of a sticker"

So yes its a sticker
The set uses both prints as stickers

Yes, there are some stickers, but they are mostly for inessential details like the number plates, radio, and rear-view mirror. My point was that all of the really essential detailing - which could have been done with stickers - has instead been done here with prints. For example, the stripe down the middle, the side stripes, and the vents on the C-pillars. You can leave all of the stickers off without it significantly detracting from the appearance of the model.

The Mustang logo is printed on the 1x3 tile on the front grille, and on the 1x1 round tile for the oil cap.

I’m liking this set, I’ve got all the Creator car series except the original studded Beetle (before my time of collecting these) and last years Aston which just doesn’t look right from too many angles. But this mustang works at some many levels. As someone said it’s definitely up a level in terms of creator cars. Not sure about the mods myself, the engine looks good, but I do with the duck tail spoiler didn’t need the black discs on the rear/bottom face

[Dragunov2]

Now I wait for the Designer Video

[Johnny1360]

For those that aren't aware of it, Sariel has done a great review of this set in the Technic/Model Team forum. 

I really hope I can get one of these at launch a definite day one purchase for me. Those rims will prove to be quite useful for other MOCs along with all those wonderful dark blue pieces, might even get two or three of this set. I fully expect this set to be hugely popular and hard to get because of that, I am worried the scalpers will have a field day with this one. 

[snefroe]

it looks really great. it looks like the real thing, nicely detailed, great colors... i will get one

[TeriXeri]

Not my style of set to buy, but that doesn't take away the fact this looks very well done for a brick-built LEGO Car set.

The sequential 3-stripe style taillights are just very iconic and still used in the modern versions of the car.

[Dragunov2]

For me it's on par with the T1 and the Mini regarding accuracy, so a must have here!

No early access for VIPS?
