the Porsche will be most likely RC with new motors and IR control with hopefully better range and the set will most likely be Limited edition so it will probably come in a special color ( definitely not the decals in the shown pictures ) , like 41999 dark blue crawler and will most likely have Lego LEDs V2 or something like that these things would explain high costs i would like the color to be Dark Green or Dark Red but I suspect a new red like the one that shows up most common on the GT3 RS like with bright green or dark purple another likely possibility would be dark bluish gray with a side racing stripe another popular GT3 RS combination , and as for the interior it will be in no way black dark bluish gray would be neat but that might be the body color so unlikely and there is no point getting our hopes up for tan or even a whole new batch of dark tan Technic parts as that would be at home in a normal 911 not a 911 aimed at the track so that eliminates red most likely , maybe light bluish gray :) sorry for my terrible writing and I dont know how to add pictures without it deleting my post entirely so sorry about that too

After working this site out a bit better I have decide to give this whole post a redo , so here goes as said outright in the title the model will be to 1:8 scale so that's about 71.5 studs long with a 41.5 studs wheelbase 31 studs wide ( in reality it is more like 30.5 studs but 31 studs prevents a whole bunch of complications ) and 19 studs high . My creation will be based on this picture except the interior which will be tan the car in all its holiness :cry_happy: the interior - Unfortunately I could not find any perfect images :sceptic: ------------------------------------------------------------ The model will most likely way a LOT !! so it will be powered by two RC Buggy Motors driven by a Rechargeable Lipo battery box with an accelerator system { ran by a M Motor } very similar to that of the system used by Sheepo used in his Porsche 911 (997) Turbo Cabriolet PDK link here ---> http://www.sheepo.es...let-pdk_04.html This system has many purposes but for me there is 2 big big reasons 1- using this system allows you to get full power out of the RC Buggy motors 2- It also gives you the realism of a progressive accelerator All in all the creation has 10 motors ------------------------------------------------------------- 2 RC buggy Motors for drive 1 M Motor for the "Progressive accelerator" 1 Servo Motor for steering + working steering wheel and Indicators 1 L Motor for the Disc Brakes in all 4 wheels + working Brake pedal and brake light 1 servo motor for the 7+R sequential gearbox 1 L motor for Race Mode { which lowers the suspension and allows the fake V8 engine to rev higher , and no doubt more things to come like more efficient brakes and such } And lastly 1 M Motor to turn all the lights on ------------------------------------------------------------- The Ferrari will have an ignition system that turns on the the main PF battery box ( with 1 set of automatic LEDs for interior lighting and the 3 receivers and 5 PF switches ) ------------------------------------------------------------ the Ferrari will have 18 LEDs in all -10 LifeLites Leds which are turned on through the use of the the lights RC function as well as 2 sets of Lego LEDs in the taillights and side lights at the front -3 sets of Lego LEDs for the indicators ( some going to the dashboard ) -2 sets for the brake lights also with some going to the dash - and of course the 1 set of LEDs that come on with the battery's and the 1 set that come on with the LifeLites And as a bonus when you turn the ignition pressure is put on 3 Lego Light Bricks that light up the dash and center console -------------------------------------------------------- The model then has 2 more L motors both going to separate 4 way gearboxes both providing 4 other functions { the lever for both are hidden in the dashboard through the means of pulleys and links they should smoothly change the gearboxes The first box provides 4 seat functions -Forwards and backwards on both sides - and the back of the seat moves forwards and back wards on both sides { also as a manual function I want to be able to move the bottom of the seats up and down ever so slightly }\ ----------------------------------------------------- the seats ---------------------------------------------------- The other Gear-box picks between 4 other manual functions 1- windscreen wipers 2- adjustable spoiler 3- pneumatic pump 4- now this is an interesting one I call it disguise the receivers I want to be able to lift and lower the receiver so that when I want drive it around I can seamlessly where as when I wanna display it I can stow the receivers away its kinda like creating the best of both worlds ---------------------------------------------------- Pneumatics I want the pump to provide air to 3 switches all hidden in the glove-box 1- opening the engine cover 2- opening the bonnet 3- an auxiliary output -------------------------------------------------- and I also want 2 gears in the glove-box to adjust the position of the pedals and the wheel and a gear somewhere to lock and unlock the the main battery's and lastly a clever system that flicks on some LEDs ( Lego ones ) when you open the the doors , which by the way have locks and the correct opening geometry :classic: ----------------------------------------------- And now the bit that is most important to me - The looks I want this to look absolutely perfect including a highly detailed engine interior and boot space ( which should be of a decent size ) I know it all sounds a bit much but with a bit of help from the EuroBricks community and fat wallet I will get there in the end and I will update this post as often as possible :classic: The original Car configuration ------------------> http://car-configura...|16b8fe10|1f1e3
