Lego 1:8 Hypercars: Why are tires getting bigger and bigger?
MAP Tec replied to MAP Tec's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Interesting ideas ;D, thank you very much for sharing your initial thoughts. I generally think the designs of all the tires are great, but if you change the size of the tires, you also have to adjust other things, such as the steering wheel, which in my opinion is then much too small... -
Since the Ferrari Daytona 2022, I've been wondering why the tires on the McLaren P1 2024 were made even bigger than on the Porsche 2016, Bugatti 2018, and Lamborghini 2020... Tires from the Lamborghini Sian and Ferrari Daytona: If you compare the larger tires with the steering wheel alone, the scale is even less accurate... I am glad that the new 9L suspensions have been used since the Ferrari Daytona, as these fit better than two 6.5L suspensions and the new axle parts also offer new, more stable possibilities... Here are my guesses as to why tires are getting bigger: 1. Only the larger rim size fits the new axle parts, as otherwise the rim rubs on the inside. 2. Without the new axle parts, Lego was unable to install the new 9L suspensions securely and stably, as this requires the installation of many parts that need width, causing the old rim sizes to rub against them, as seen on the Ferrari Daytona. I think the individual design of each rim is very well done, but I'm not a fan of the new tires myself and would prefer the old tire size from Porsche, Lamborghini, and Bugatti. Let's see how things turn out with the 2026 car. I'm curious to hear your opinions and have a little discussion :D

Very impressive . The attention to detail is remarkable. I can hardly imagine how long it took you to complete this. I also released a Venator this year, even motorized ^^, and I am eager to hear your opinion. Hats off to your work, and keep it up! -
