Yes, the newer one is larger in diameter. -
It doesnt look to bad - for a peugeot But there is no interior at all, right? I think Aero pieces like Splitters, Sideskirts and Wings that extend over the width of the normal body should be allowed up to +1 stud on each side of the body. Otherwhise cars fearuring Battle Aero will be at a massive disatvantage, especially since these cars are often pretty wide to begin with. But thats just my opinion. Pics work now, idk what happened, my bad.

Because they would have to make yet another new wheel hub, even though they just made the Brake disc one for the Chiron. Even I think that would be unnecessary, the normal Wheel hubs work perfectly fine for manual models. There will never be a official motorized 1:8 car, so the wheel hub you talk about will never exist.

Engine pistons are a bright color so they are easy to see, and this makes sense imo. I swapped in some dbg pistons in my Honda NSX MOC, and the pistons became very hard to see. So I returned to the yellow ones I used before. If the engine isn't completely exposed, or there is something partially covering the cylinders, bright pistons are a good thing.

In overall age I might be quite young in this community, but since I have never had a dark age, I still have 16 years of LEGO experience under my belt I think making fool proof instructions is bad. It prevents you from making mistakes, which prevents you from learning something. If you for example can't put in a diff the wrong way, you won't learn learn why it is important which way the diff is facing. In short, it keeps you from growing as a builder. Yes, so awesome. I still have them. I used them to have glow in the dark lightsabers back then

So you are defending the color vomit? Are you a fanboy? I was 12yo when I built the massive LEGO 8043 Excavator, with no color vomit exept blue pins. And 7yo when I built the 8436 Truck. No color vomit at all. And it was fun. I had no problems. There is absolutely no need for any of this. You must be joking.

Tensegrity GBC

Very nice, I like how the sections shake a little when a ball is running over it. Very satisfying to watch, even though the module isn't really doing anything. -
My point is, there is no way the MK Sian is copy from LEGO, and it does not seem to be a stolen MOC either. So where could the design come from? I just think MK wanted hop onto that hypetrain for the LEGO Sian. And I agree, the LEGO Sian looks great, definatelly better than the Chiron, and maybe even better than the GT3 RS. Now they just have to not f*ck up the suspension and transmission...Oh boy, but we'll see. Overall this car looks like an improvement, so I have a little hope they learned from the previous flaws.

I agree, the new wheel arch panels look pretty sweet. But what do you expect? The only thing y'all can hope for is that the wheel arches are used in a inconventional way in a set that isn't a car, and not in a useless color. Like red, black, white or yellow. But I doubt that will happen anytime soon, if ever.

Just paste the link, it will imbed automatically I just pasted the link of your viedeo... Maybe you disabled it somewhere? Idk

I dont think it looks bad, but I many people, including me, dislike the type R for its massive fake vents. Some people call it "riced from factory". I too think it would be better if the fake vents weren't there. It looks cheap and produces additional drag. The design of the rear is just not for everbody.

Air cooled classic car

The Porsche 911 might be the most well known car of all time. No need to be sarcastic. Your weird Zaz seems to be the exact opposite
