Was just browsing the Cada online shop and noticed that the pictures of the LaFerrari have been updated with the new rounded panels. I wonder if there is any improvements/changes made structurally. For those curious how it looks now that they seem to be discontinuing the old panels: https://decadastore.com/products/viva-hypercar-c61505w You'll need to scroll down a little bit to see them.

Perhaps the source meant when it would be available from resellers? Because those previous models were exclusive to TLG until August.

To be completely honest they are as much technic as the recent 1:10 scale empty shells of supercars that they put out.

I was quite excited for that one, but $180 is quite a bit more than I was willing to spend for it. Also: those red parts which I guess are supposed to be the taillight look awful and should have been orange. The P1’s taillights don’t look like that. I think whoever at Cada turned it into an orange car didn’t realise that the original red version by PvdB didn’t have taillights built in.

Beautiful model. I also built it in the classic white/dark blue color scheme.

Seems far more likely imo than the Artura or GTS. It’s also something unique being a three-seater. Only thing it is a couple years old already, but then again, the Chiron was also on the market for a while before LEGO released the Technic version So who knows… In my opinion it’s either a rumoured P1 successor, the 750s or the Speedtail. It’s all just speculation (and maybe this discussion belongs in the speculation topic anyway, @Jim / @Milan feel free to move)

Let's see... Porsche 911 GT3RS: a somewhat experimental set by LEGO, but still a car where you cannot just walk into the nearest Porsche dealer to buy one. Bugatti Chiron: Multimillion dollar highly exclusive flagship hypercar Lamborghini Sian: Multimillion dollar highly exclusive flagship hypercar Ferrari Daytona SP3: Multimillion dollar highly exclusive flagship hypercar McLaren Artura: One of the cheapest new McLaren money can buy and barely a limited production. You can probably buy a whole garage of the Artura in every spec imaginable for the price of just one of the last three. The presented color of the 750s was also purple, so this means nothing.

Are you 100% sure they meant a "new small beam" in this set specifically? Because this piece is in one of the space sets and new for 2024. https://rebrickable.com/parts/3167/technic-beam-2-x-3-thick-90-offset-centre-beam-hole/72/

So we just got pearl dark gray frictionless axle pins last year, now we get LBG frictionless axle pins as well in the upcoming BMW Speed Champion kit.

Definitely could be. I read that one of the Speed Champions cars will be a G63. And since there are already small and big versions of another Mercedes coming, I don’t see why it can’t happen a second time.

Are you sure it’s not just that the frame is turned the other way around? Because I know you can fit 24t and old diffs like that due to the patterns around the pin holes.

I wouldn't be opposed to a McLaren. I hope it's not the 750s though. It's not exactly the most exclusive model, being almost exactly the same as the 720s from 7 years ago. It's a nice car, but I would prefer something far more exotic. Something in the same class and price range of a P1 or a Senna.

For this price it better have suspension. Doesn’t the W14 have pullrod suspension in the back? The linkages seem to be going below the differential.

I will hold my judgement until proper pictures are published, but based on what I’m seeing here, I’m not very impressed. The slicks are nice though.

Black with turquoise and lots of red axles. Two different colors of Koenigseggs might be nice. The 42196 is probably a recolor of the lime Huracan, which is nice. Lots of recolors.
