2026 LEGO Technic Ford GT40 MKII revealed!

Looks good at first glance, but not so good at a closer look. No differential is a big disappointment, and the lines are too straight. Also, at that big price bump from the $50 these sets used to be, and with the absurd 18+ black box, and at the same approximate parts count, those markings should all have been printed. Not stickers. Prints. How many times do we have to say that before Lego will listen?

Wow! Another car with a lot of stickers!

Not what I like about Technic!

These are looking a little better every year.
But I'd still much rather have this as a $25 Speed Champions car.
A $75 dollar Technic set without a crane is a no-buy for me.

Why not the same scale as the 42154 Ford GT? Granted, that would show even better how that one kinda looks more like the classic GT40 than the modern one it is supposed to be (at least from the front). But still, would be cool to have both side-by-side.

But looking at it for what it is, on the one hand I appreciate them now doing some classic car in the Car Transporter scale, but it does have the same issues most of them have: If not for the stickers they look barely recognizable. This one might actually be a bit better than most, but still looks rather rough. And the prices for these aren't getting any better either....

Oh, and imagine them doing black pins for a black car....

Oh look, another car.

The Car Transporter gang keeps going. Now 50% more expensive than 3 years ago, but who's counting?

Oh look yet another car.

Wow look at the exciting functions.....never seen before in technic...no wait....

You can even add extra pistons to make it a v14 when you can afford it as they have already given you the extra cylinder bores ...never seen a real engine like it!

Sarcasm aside, looks good as a model, but maybe creator expert is more suitable than technic for this sort of thing?

Not bad, but I would have preferred an Icons version. Even preferred 75881 2016 Ford GT & 1966 Ford GT40

Look, it's another sportscar bereft of interesting functions that comes with quite a few stickers. And as a bonus, the set is now overpriced in a manner thinking this is actually a Star Wars set.

It is beyond me, especially with the other themes where you could make as many cars you would want, why there are not more interesting and affordable Technic sets like, for instance, 42167, 42198 and 42201 being produced?

Come on TLG!

I've never quite seen the point of Technic cars at this scale. You lose the detail of traditional parts, but it's not big enough for all the neat Technic stuff that one of the super cars would have. This would be amazing as a 16-wide Creator Expert like 10265.

Good luck aligning the racing stripes on 16 different pieces straight. Aren't people tired of being treated this bad by TLG, while there are clearly cheaper and much better alternatives? Ignorance is bliss, right?

Red-hot take incoming: Of the 4 sets revealed today, I'd rather have this than any of the others.

Why? Because this is an actual LEGO set, not another giant, over-detailed, 2D MOC. Sure, the other three look good, but that's all they do. They're basically just MOCs made by the LEGO designers - beautiful to behold, parts-dense, NPU-rich, detailed, etc. - that LEGO corporate decided to market for the heck of it. The GT-40, at least, has wheels and steering, plus a couple other features - things you can *do* with it. On top of that, it still looks pretty good, which is unusual for these Technic cars.

Mind you, I'm not a fan of the constant stream of licensed cars Technic has been pumping out - they're boring, unimaginative, and usually ugly - and I look wistfully back to the pre-2017 Technic lineups. But at least they're still playsets and a reasonable price (or they were, $75 is too much for this). I'm just so completely burned out on the enormous, gaudy, expensive, "Adults Welcome" dust-collectors that are seem to be rolling out weekly at this point. C'mon, LEGO, give the cheaper Technic, City, Friends, Ninjago, Star Wars, etc. sets some love!
