I thought I saw that too, by the front headlights. I wasn’t 100% sure but definitely very nice to finally have in black.

The Sian rim can fit inside the Ferrari rim. That should give a decent indication.

So the “slipcase” is just a book with some special artwork. Racing brick has a video on it. €80 and only available in shops while supply lasts. The shock absorbers are the same as the BMW including stiffness.

The tires are quite a bit bigger than the previous ones. 81.6 mm vs 87.9 mm. That makes fitting them in existing models quite a bit more difficult.

Those tires are awesome. Finally a realistic thread on a €400 model.

Amazing video. Definitely the best Huayra I’ve seen. The details and functions look incredibly authentic. So unfortunate you won’t make instruction, because I’ve always wanted a 1:8 version. Unless @Jeroen Ottens version will have instructions, I’ll be waiting a while for Tlego’s version

Possibly, but I really haven’t noticed it. If so it’s not difficult to clean them.

I had a similar problem a while ago. I started disassembling a lot of the cars that I got bored of, which of course resulted in a LOT of parts that now needed to fit somewhere in my already full sorting system. I also have way too many panels to ever use, but I've found a system that works for me. These drawers came from Aldi (German grocery store) for dirt cheap: €8 each. All my panels and soft axles are stored in these. In the past I had most of them sorted in ice cream bins. However these took up too much space and eventually became full. As you can see, I've sorted them by size and also separated the left and right sides. Also a random sticker for no real reason Panels that don't have a left or right side just get their own drawer, or if it's too much they'll go into a bigger one such as the wheelarches, 3x7 curved panels and 3x13/3x15 tapered curved panels.

And then what? At what point do you stop? You have a custom made, single purpose windscreen that will never be able to fit in any other model, but then the car is still full of holes (again, unlike Creator) which would look inconsistent and therefore worse. Do you also make custom panels for every gap? At that point just buy a Die-cast model. Maybe that is progress, but not it's definitely not forwards. As far as functions go, it's a car. Functions just are very limited in possibility, especially in a LEGO model. There's steering, a gearbox and suspension. That's mostly it. Some cars might have a removable/convertible roof, active aero or adjustable suspension but that's really where it ends. What LEGO really should be doing is making those functions more complex or more realistic, such as correct steering and suspension geometry, actual paddle shifters (such as these designed by Charbel and T-lego) or wings that deploy at a certain gear. A realistic building experience such as the Porsche and Bugatti would also be a welcome return, although that is only a one time thing during your first time building.

Most motorcycles do. In my opinion the reason is that with cars a lack of windscreen allowed access to the gearbox and steering wheel (something Lego refuses to add HOG knobs for), and the windscreen can easily be imagined thanks to the A pillars. Both those things don’t apply to motorcycles.

It really doesn’t. Those are brickbuilt (Creator style) models as dirkberlin mentioned. Although you’re definitely right that these are very specific, unlike the Creator Mustang, Porsche and DeLorean.

I believe he sells his designs to mould king, as in an authorized model. Whether it’s “extortion” (sell us your model or we steal it), or a genuine collaboration is of course a question we won’t know the answer to

According to Promobricks we are supposed to hear something 2 weeks after the first leak (May 10th), which means next week we should get some official news. That also lines up with the June 1st release date they wrote about today.

That doesn’t look like a traditional box. It seems like that “slipcase” that was described at first. I guess this will be like a preorder thing or something, but a normal version will also be sold similar to the Sian. The wheels appear to be directional btw. I could be wrong though.

Based on what? The rims look directional to me and they also match the ones on the same side of the real car.

I very highly doubt they would limit such a set that will almost print them the infinite money. That is absolutely the dumbest business move to take. Why make just €2.000.000,- (before expenses, taxes, wages, etc...) when you can make literal millions more? I think that it might just be a special version which they might raffle off to VIP members, give to contest winners or sell at special events. They are definitely describing the real life car here if you ask me.

8420, maybe? Quite likely.

That does look very real. The thing that convinced me it's real are the "mirrors" Lego still won't actually design

I’m a bit confused. Did you see a leak of the real car or of the Lego car? Where did you see it?

That is absolutely awesome! The Huayra is by far one of my favorite supercars, and you absolutely nailed it.

Awesome build. Extremely solid. I’ve built mine using original Lego parts and also dark azure as per the original design, but the cada version should still go together very smoothly. Almost all the panels are securely attached and the chassis is one of the sturdiest I’ve built. Overall I would say this build is on par with the Lego 1:8 sets. So yes, definitely worth it.

Ah, right. Well that's definitely dumb. But I guess they didn't put much thought into this being used in anything other than the Apollo. The changes to the pin holes weren't even necessary in this model, so I guess they tried to copy BuWizz in this case.

It’s pretty much exactly the same as far as I could tell. It has the exact same pin holes that BuWizz changed compared to the original Lego ones.

That is a really nice looking moc and very well done on such small scale

I highly doubt it has nearly 4000 parts. Though there are very easy ways to bloat the part count, 4000 for a helicopter is a lot of parts. It’s also very strange that it has the exact same price and part count as the Ferrari which is why I didn’t post this back when I first saw this last week. Also, this one by Jeroen Ottens is already 1 meter long and “only” includes 2600 parts: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-56765/Jeroen Ottens/large-helicopter/#info.
