I disagree with that. In the past, the cars illustrated and explained the technology. They were functional models. Today the few functions are hidden under many panels. There are only display models.
@@ivoschaerer3023 Apart from the latest mclaren sienna most technic models show a lot of mechanical technology with steering, differential and pistons even in the most basic models. You have to be the builder to see the magic tho.
@@dborgstedt the old black Supercar from the 90’s had four wheel drive, four wheel suspension and four wheel steering, plus the V8 engine and working gear box and pop up headlights. The old car chassis from the 80’s had fully adjustable seats, which no model has had since. Also a flat four working engine where you actually had to build the con-rods and crankshaft, unlike later models where the bits are all special moulded parts. The earlier versions also had shock absorbed/spring units which you made yourself. It also had a 3-speed gearbox and it was all exposed and easy to see and learn about mechanisms and how it all worked. I love my Porsche GT3 RS but you can hardly see any of the workings once it’s built. Great as a display model but not great for a kid to actually play with. I definitely prefer the older models and in many cases, they had more functionality. The Ferrari Enzo didn’t have much in the way of functions but they at least gave it fancy opening doors with a cool little release mechanism. The Porsche just has very basic doors. I’ve also noticed a definite reduction in quality over all with Lego. Some of the components of late don’t feel to be of the same quality of the older bricks. Put them side by side and you can feel the difference. I’ve noticed with how the clips/pins click in for example. The plastic feels slightly inferior and the edges are sharper on some parts. I’m always buying new sets and notice the difference with the new ones. There’s also a lot more variance in colour with newer bricks too!
@@R1CH130 I still have the supercar in the attic. My kid are 4 and got the orange corvette, it feature a differential, a very siplyfied v8 and steering in a ok playaable size. I think I was 15 when the supercar came, no way i had a chance building that when i was 4. The difference in instructions are ridiculus. Well, point is that the modern cars are good looking, playable and shows the basic mechanic. Don't know if the plastic on the supercar has dryed or something but it breaks all the time - no playability..
@@R1CH130 8880 was, and still is a legend in the Super Car line. Everything changed with Lego after 2004, before was all about quality, innovation and user experience, after the company almost went under it was all about cost cutting and making profit. In the late 80s to early 2000s there were a lot of smaller 'universal sets' that offered great value and functionalities, and flagship releases were not colossal bank breakers.

I wish I could have afforded all of them over the years, but I do have a few of those.

No it's definitely better than the old ferrari sets because it has improved versions of the old set's features and looks hell of a lot better, if you're comparing it to the big 1:8 scale sets( 42056, 42083 & 42115) then remember that it's half the price
Lego technic has defenitly improved the latest years!

With the enzo ferrari you can really see the quality go up... also do the formula 1 racers not count?
where's the Mclaren Senna GTR?
7:27 & 10:53 best two lego technic
Great choice!
I agree about Porsche and Bugatti being the best. I am still not on board with the bright lime lambo
i think they kinda messed up the front of the porche 911 rsr
İt seems like it crashed
What about the Grand Prix racer? You included the 24 hours racecar
And what about the McLaren Senna GTR and the Corvette?
@@dasschnitzel6970 cheap knock off models
Awesome video
only have the rsr but I love it, definitely will get the ferrari and the sian
Don't the ferrari sucks but I think it's too late
@@TheChristmasWarrior lol, actually I never bought the ferrari but did buy the sian
Some of those excellent pictures seem to have come directly from Technicopedia. I don't see any credit given to the author.
Thanks. I Will mention that. Best regards
I miss there theScuderia ferrari f1 (~ 2005) set. Maybe f1 isn't a proper "super car" but it's awesome set! Nice video!
Some are missing XD but why spending so much time on the last ones and only a few seconds over the older ones like the 8880?
You forgot the corvette zr1 and the new mclaren coming out
zr1 is way smaller size. these are 1/8 size ones.
💝
I want one of those 70s ones
I have the 24 hours race car and now I'm building the Bugatti chiron
I wish I could have afforded all of them over the years, but I do have a few of those. These are the ones I have:
Car Chassis 8860
Test Car 8865
Super Car 8880
Super Street Sensation 8448
Ferrari Enzo 8653
Super Car 8070 times two (one built as the hot rod, one as the main car!)
Porsche 911 GT3 RS 42056
That’s it for Supercars, but I do also have the Ferrari F1 car, the Rally Car 42077 and Dom’s Charger 42111, plus the Creator Mini, Beetle, Camper, Mustang and Ecto-1
So only a few...
@@tobydavis1370 and just got the Creator Fiat 500 too. Wish I had them all
You have the 8880, that's all you need ^^
Wonderful!!!!
Thanks!
ford gt ?
My dad has the 1988 car
what scale is the 24 hours race car?
pretty sure it is 1/8
I have the 1999 one but tuned
Varför är alla cirons blåa
The 12 second transitions between each set are a real waste of the viewer's time.
What is the music?
8428 and 8458
The new 2020 Ferrari doesn't even compare to most of the new models :(. I'd take the 599 and Enzo over that new one.

The Ferrari one is easier to be motorized.
11:11 That's what my brother got for Christmas
I got that too
Nice gift
I got it for my birthday
