    Yes, they’ll start the unveiling and then the live building stream.

    Automatic gearbox will be very difficult to make in Lego. It is a complicated mechanism that involves planetary gears and stuff. This will be a 8 speed (7+R) sequential manual gearbox, just like the one in the real Chiron. The new gear selectors make it extremely efficient to be sequential as opposed to selecting individual gears (like in 8880) or without making it bulky like in 42056.

    Judging by the leaked picture of the gearbox, I believe that we will not be having the same problem as the Porsche 2 years ago. Also, 8 speeds (7+R) is a monumental achievement in an official Lego set (first one to do so?). Anyways, mad props to the designer for making this set both aesthetically pleasing and functional. My expectations were a bit low after the first leak, but now they're higher than ever.
  4. Skiing Biology God
    Quite possibly.
  5. Skiing Biology God
    Could someone PM me the leaked gearbox pictures (or any newly leaked pictures so far)? Thanks!
  6. Skiing Biology God
    I can send you a message of a photo.
  7. Skiing Biology God
    Where do you pre-order it?
  8. Skiing Biology God
    There should be a gearbox, according to the teaser video. However the way it will be controlled remains a mystery.

    I'm still curious about the spoiler function. It could be the same as the Porsche but it can also be integrated with the brakes. Seeing how much emphasis they are putting on brakes, it could be a possibility.
  10. Skiing Biology God
    Exactly. The only thing that people have criticised the set for was the hood and front in general, and I have seen tens of comments complaining about them being disappointed by it. Mostly everyone is being too pessimistic here; remember that Lego is just for fun and we should just relax. Not to mention that there are numerous aspects that Lego nailed, like the door curve, the rear shaping, the front grille, headlights, and many more.
  11. Skiing Biology God
    I'm 95% sure it's going to be the same as the Porsche: Steering out of the steering wheel. It is less comfortable and intuitive, but more realistic. So they'll probably do that.
  12. Skiing Biology God
    I completely agree. Am I the only one here that actually likes the look of the car? Personally it looks better than that Porsche, MUCH better. And in 2016 I thought it was the best looking official Lego supercar to date! It's important to analyse the set objectively and appreciate the positive aspects as opposed to tearing the negatives apart.
  13. Skiing Biology God
    This can mean that the rear looks really bad or really good compared to the front. I seriously hope for the latter of the two...
  14. Skiing Biology God
    I am definitely impressed after seeing the official box. It looks surprisingly faithful to the original, and I am curious what functions it will have. The gaps were worrisome at first, in the blurry preliminary images, but 42083 probably looks the best out of any Technic supercar officially released by Lego, including the Porsche. With a 4 wheel drive and W16 engine, I will be satisfied.
  15. Skiing Biology God
    I seriously wonder where the 900 extra pieces went. It looks the same size and scale as the Porsche
  16. Skiing Biology God
    Same here. I cannot find any leaked images and I'm curious if it's any good lol
  17. Skiing Biology God
    Me neither xd
  18. Skiing Biology God
    That's what I'm wondering. There must be a defining feature, if not, it would be very generic and pointless. The design team needs to make a distinction between it and the Porsche.
  19. Skiing Biology God
    There is a higher likelihood of power functions (as improbable as it is) being included than pneumatics. It is extremely hard to imagine pneumatics being included in a set of this type (hypercar, Technic Ultimate series)
  20. Skiing Biology God
    You may be correct! The disks are definitely unique but now I'm not so sure about the calipers. They still look pretty realistic though. We'll just wait and see.
  21. Skiing Biology God
    Their inclusion or their functionality? I can clearly see calipers in the picture so if they aren't included in the set itself, that would make me angry. Their functionality is obviously speculation.
  22. Skiing Biology God
    Depends on what you would consider "functional". Of course they can't actually "brake" the car but there's a possibility of the brake calipers moving. With the same scale and almost 900 more pieces, it is safe to assume that the functions are going to be more densely packed, which is a plus. Also, if the colour scheme of the car is the default, the calipers should be blue :P Nevertheless, I am pleasantly surprised with the new brake pieces.
  23. Skiing Biology God
    For me, there are two things that are basically deciding factors in terms of this set's quality. Authenticity to the original model (4 wheel drive, W16 engine, aesthetics, etc) and the functionality of the gearbox (PLEASE don't repeat 42056!) Everything else, no matter how it turns out, I can live with.
  24. Skiing Biology God
    I don't think it is going to include the 24 tooth clutch gear, as those gears are only included in motorised models, for safety. It's probably going to be a new gear, as it is RIGHT next to the driving ring. Or maybe the same gear, just in a different colour.
  25. Skiing Biology God
    I think I also see a wire coming out of the potential receiver and going off picture on the right. Now I'm even more curious than before - is it actually going to be motorised? With the $450 price tag, I sure hope so.
