While this does forgo a B-model, this is definitely a vast improvement over the admirable but flawed Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 model from before. They definitely learned from last time to be allowed for more pieces to go into this set, which at 830 (mostly small) pieces is very impressively high for the price of a licensed set compared to the already decent but comparatively low 579 pieces the Corvette had. This is a definite pick over the Ferrari set for me, simply because it's great value by being four times less costly and still has most of the same functions while still looking impressive (and tasteful with the stickers despite how many this still has).
I think the evolution of Technic car replicas has improved greatly over the years, it’s good to see how much Lego prioritise detail, and how well they balance it with functions too!
@@jltworks3167 there is a video out there of the jeep wrangler Rubicon upgraded with v6 mini engine and 4x4 drive and real suspension. Lego could do so much better than this... Now it needs the community to make perfect little technic models work as they should. For the McLaren im out, I don't like the set, and for me it can always be a generic car, license not needed. But 800 pieces for 40-50€ is ok.
@@A6Chefpilot the Jeep Wrangler is taller than the Mclaren which is what made those modifications possible. Suspension would be nice in this model but that is not possible at this size. Besides at least we get opening doors this time, as well as a realistic drivetrain and steering. Idk what else you could possible do..
@@redsubmarine652 It was fairly cheap, and had a working engine, differential and steering. Many people did not like it as the tires were too small, their were gaps in the and the front-lights looked too small. However, I feel like people were a bit too sensitive about it as it was a Lego technic car not a systems build and I bought it on amazon for 30 pounds while the mclaren senna gtr is just shy of 50 and does not have a differential- a huge disappointment. And although it may have a pretty design, is the extra 20 pounds worth it? The only additional function you get is an opening door and I dont quite see the point of that as it is not a system set where you could put a figurine in.
@kl I do agree that you can find these functions in other sets, but the corvette zr1 has more play value. You could have the same functions in a not too bad looking car for 30 pounds or the same functions in a good looking 50 pound car, because it is a lego technic car, I would go for the 30 pound corvette.
I’m glad that this was such an overwhelmingly positive review. This was the only car out of the new wave that I was 1) interested in and 2) in my price range
16:06 Unfortunately, the same could not be said to the fact that they used bright red 2L Axles on the inverted panels on the wing which just screams "LOOK AT ME"

Thank you for this review; when I originally saw some pictures of this set I thought "it's alright, but I don't really want it". Now, I think its quite a great set, and I'll definitely consider getting it now :)
What an amazing set. I hope the designer of this will get a raise. Not only is it complex with no cut corners, it has a reasonable price per piece as well!
Wow the black 2L axle, has LEGO made those at all since they switched to red? Could this be them trying out allowing different colours to not interfere with looks
Seeing other reviews before I was going to skip that one. But if you are impressed by the complexity and accuracy of the model I might have to change my mind. Thanks for the review!
Just got mine at the LEGO store 11am January 1. Will build it later. I do stickers with a razor blade. Pick it up at the corner, peel off the sheet and place it. I picked up the Ferrari too.
Great review Sariel! Just as a heads-up, TH-cam is putting non-skippable ads on your videos now. Just got two in a row. Figured you would want to know!

Seriously mate... 1.8 million dead from COVID and counting and you need to ask about gloves? Both my parents got COVID and I have a little baby at home, I can't take any risks with a product that has been handled by I don't know who. It really wasn't the smartest question out there. Plus I'm free to wear whatever I like at my home and this is none of your concern.
@@searme what you say makes total sense, I just thought there might be a different answer since you didnt wear them all the time, but all the best to your parents and your baby!
I got this set a few days ago and tried building it, but the pieces wouldn't stick together like literary I had to put a lot of strength to connect the pieces. Does this happen because it's new or because the LEGO brand is technic? (This is my first LEGO technic set)
I was already excited about this set, despite my moderate dislike for stickers. Gotta say that after watch this review I'm still gonna get it! (Little disappointed there's no actually differential but oh well I have enough of them I guess) Thanks for the awesome review as always!
I wasn't very keen on this set the firat time I saw it, but having seen some reviews, it has grown on me very much and I think I'll actually get it. Also it's only like 40€ in the store, which seems like a really good deal.
Is this the second highest star rating after Ford Mustang 10265 (which I bought, bcos of your review)? The only cons for me: No B-model & (taking a deep breath) 1:18 sticker to brick scale. So, I guess still ......SOLD.
Hey Sariel, I'm curious for the reason of sometimes wearing gloves? Maybe you already explained, but then I missed that. By the way, very qualitative review as always and great set too!
Steering knob on roof is a great solution imo. In consideration this model mostly as a toy for kids, Im very glad there is a car, with you can play easily.. For kid it is no problem at all, that the knob is visible there.. So glad for kids, that these nice playable cars in small scale with no motors are still here :-). I can see myself as a 10year old boy spending long hours imagining Im a car racer by driving this lego along whole house :-). Great set
Yes i bought it for only 30 euros! after reading and hearing about the shortcomings of the ferrari and porsche rsr i decided to buy this as a nice desk ornament, its actually a benefit that is ti not that large

Hope you don't mind me asking, why was this review scheduled for later though? I would understand the Ferrari and the buggy being later, but this is kind of an odd set to schedule for later (since it's more of a medium sized set, not really a flagship or whatever)
I think it's because of licenses, they are probably trying to look good when designing a car to look like the real thing, and there are many licensed technic sets lately. On one side, I think these sets look really good, but on the other, I agree with you
Very much agreed! And I don't even really like the looks in this case, even when I can see the effort Lego put into it. I think this would have been better as a Creator Expert model, made out of System pieces for better looks and a few Technic pieces to include such minimal functionality. And please, just stick to the road-going version, so no need for so many stickers... Still a much better set than that disastrous Ferrari though....
@@JesseGT Nah, they found a very creative solution for that in their Speed Champions model. Should be even easier to think of something on a larger scale. And even when it's a difficult detail, it is one that uniquely defines the Senna. On this Technic model, apart from the stickers the only part that to me is truly recognizable as a Senna is the distinctive rear wing. Otherwise it could just be any generic sports car....
Wielkie dzięki za ten materiał Sariel! W tym tygodniu będzie do wyrwania z oficjalnej dystrybucji za 139zł, i uważam to za naprawdę dobrą cenę dla takiego modelu z taką ilością części, więc na pewno zapoluję, bo z tegorocznej serii Technic jeszcze nic nie nabyłem :)

If Lego only would have built in a differential I would actually say: "well done". Let's hope that this is a one time accident and not the new "standard".
I really hope they dont release the mclaren p1, because it will cost a fortune to me... Still part of me wants to see it in a great color like the sian had
From the back, it does look like a senna GTR, but not quite there from the front. And I still think stickers might have done most of the job for this set.
