We can see a bit of the new part here:

Even if it has 400 more pieces, 200€ seems a lot compared to the regular price of the Osprey (140€).

What are the functions? - The black 1x2 liftarm could be for a manual function. For the landing gear? - The turtle and the rabbit on the side of the helicopter could be for the speed of blades.

Take apart and rebuild. It's the goal of Lego!

It makes me want to rebuild the 42053.

I already thought that there wasn't enough differences between building the Chiron and building the Sian. If I understood correctly, there is even less differences between the Sian and the Ferrari! I think that I won't continue the 1:8 collection.

It's the real life car that is in limited edition:

I planed to stop buying Control+ sets but I didn't resist to the 42131 at 225€.

The other control+ sets in promotion have quickly sold out. There may have been a problem with the 42131 which allowed to order it in back order. Now, the set is back on the store at its regular price. We will see if Lego cancel orders but it seems ok for now.

We should wait to see the real tires of 2022 before saying that there is a mistake.

I don't even see suspensions on the photo.

The tires are blue (rain tires) which means that they aren't slick.

It's a 2022 car: It has flow deflectors over the wheels (new in 2022). The tires may not be printed: It can be rim covers as on https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/mercedes-amg-f1-w12-e-performance-mercedes-amg-project-one-76909.

I don't think that it can be the 2022 car: The design of a car could be approximative but I think that the sponsors must be the real ones. And the sponsors of a F1 team can change late. It does give almost no time for Lego to make the set.

When nothing works, you can try to reboot your phone.

On the side of the box, the shape of the tracks seems different. Is it just an optical illusion?

It seems that the box of the set won't have a back explaining the functions. It will have a front on each side.

Under the seat, I think that it is only to unlock the winch. The set 42094 had a function to change the speed of rewinding of the winch with the rabbit and turtle images. Edit: you may be right, the stickers on the set are 1, N and 2.

Is the gear box for the engine or for the winch?

Even if they are called hypercar, the new LeMans cars look like prototypes. I don't think that they feet with the other Lego 1:8 cars. It would be much more logical to have a road car.

To justify this extremely high price, I guess that the set will have at least as many motors/hubs as the 42100.

It may be impressive but I don't really want it: -Control+ is way too expensive - It's less interessting (for me) to build with many motors than with a big gearbox - It may be a repetitive build

Is it just the car body sliding up and down? With the hidden car body dragging on the floor?

If there is a gear box, it can be just to change the speed of the winch (like on 42094).
