This is nice but a bit pricey tbh...

The box is so ugly! Ugh!

Certainly looks like it has a few dings in the panel layout and the blue pins make it a bit spotty too. Oof!

That big long single panel under the door looks nice though.

It's nice but I'm not much of a Technic guy

It's weird how the box art tricked me into thinking that the pieces are a different shade of green, when it's actually just plain lime green.

I am no fan of technic supercars. But alle the recent ones (*) have panels in colours that I want and that cannot be obtained from other sets.
I will wait for parts list to check what is included.

It seems that (almost) every new big car (**) now gets a new mudguard part.

*) 42056, 42083, 42115, but not 42110. I didn't like 8448 or 8466 when they were on shelf.
**) 42056, 42096, 42110, 42115, but not 42083

Does look far better than initial pics suggested to me, overall great job! but £350 is a bit high at the mo for me, will see how things go.
Doors looks pretty good! Deff glad waited and prefer so much more to Chirron.

Sure buy for me, but I'll be patient until some nice discounts are available. So probably a nice set for a Christmas build. :-)

It's almost larger than the guy holding it on those photos ...

Just as beautiful and expensive as the real car

Look at the real car, it's got massive black portions there, the gaps are perfectly judged to replicate that. You want 100% accuracy, go buy a due cast model.

Only showing as AU$569, bargain compared to my old UK location!"

not talking abt the black pon, talking abt gaps in the panels. when the reviewed the charger all they cud talk abt. was blue pins and uglyness. well this at $400 has the same blue pins and big gaps at the headlights

As someone who doesn't collect/build Technic or cars (unless it is the creator series), I love is, especially the colour !

I too, am a “super sports car fan” as I don’t know of the terms, supercar, or hypercar

Wow, I wasn't expecting this to cost 100$ more than the Bugatti.

Well, the Bugatti will be there before I get this one.... but it is definitely on my list.

Looks good from a distance, will compliment but also contrast nicely with the others on display. But there's quite a bit not to like when looking close up (*cough*Blue Technic Pins*cough*), despite the very different shape it doesn't appear to offer much different from its two predecessors, and £350? Yikes! I waited for the Bugatti until it was below £200, I think I'd be doing well to do the same here.

Those gold wheels sure are sweet. But I can help but thinking it would have looked so much nicer and accurate if they used the green metallic of https://brickset.com/sets/8466-1 (Though that model looks heinous when I look at it.) Those doors sure are nice.

Picked up 42083 Bugatti Chiron RRP £329.99 for £174.99 on Amazon a while back so a healthy discount, would only pick up 42115 if similar discount pro-rata so around £200 but I just clocked on S&H it is showing as "exclusives" so will be interesting to see if that's just S&H or with another retailer as we often see but maybe this means it may not be on Amazon :(

If only Lego have a "metallic green" colour...

"No batteries are required for this LEGO Technic set"

No misleading teasing pictures are required to try to show the headlight are luminous.

No funny angle and shadows are required on the box picture in order to mislead it is not the old boring Technic tractor Lime color.
I will picture in interesting angle my 40 euros, maybe I will be able to buy this.

"Stunning model; it will make a fine addition to my collection someday, when it's on sale for about 250-260 euros.

Talking about the price, I'm pleasantly surprised it doesn't cost 399 euros in Belgium, like the Chiron (which cost 369 euros in Germany and 379 euros in France). Price equality in all of Europe should be a reality, not a dream."

It's called "European Union" lol which is a fantasy. Lego is cheaper on countries with higher salaries... in Portugal I bet this one will go for Eur400 or plus!

Do my eyes deceive me, or are those all prints instead of stickers?!

Looks great. but the Chiron still wins. But Technic does neither of these beauties justice.

I respect the effort and that’s gone into the design of this model, and the obvious skill of the designer, but it leaves me rather apathetic.

I neither love it or hate it. I think a model of this size and cost needs to inspire stronger feelings, and I’m sure it does in some. But personally, for me to consider a purchase, I need something more. Maybe its just a symptom of the wealth of sets available now that we can be so picky.

What's the online thing with this set? Other than that, looks cool, but I would have much preferred an Aventador or if something more recent, a Huracan Performante. But I don't have the money for this, so who am I to ask for something more?

Looks pretty outstanding. Far better than both the Bugatti or the Porsche in my opinion. Very tempted.

While I like lime green, I have already got the Porsche in that colour, so I don't need a second Technic supercar in lime green.
If LEGO had made this car in their old cool metallic green Technic colour, I might have considered getting it one day, but as I would have preferred a Countach anyway I am not sad at all. Money well saved.

The rims are awesome though. At least if that is drum lacquered gold.

Well, would you like to try writing a review on Brickset to entertain and portray your thoughts to tens of thousands of viewers? I think Huw and the rest of the team do an excellent job at expressing their opinions and deal with negativity towards them. I don’t think you could do any better."

Actually I would love too. And I wud be great because my opinion wud not be bias based on my personal preference. Watch when the review comes out there will be no mention of blue pins and panel gaps. Only biased opinions on how European cars are the best.

my wife said the set is much uglier than Porsche and Bugatti,
I think he's right,average and expensive set

It's tough watching all these awesome big sets get revealed knowing I don't have enough money to buy any of them.

I think a darker colour wouldn't be as striking as its. Surely, this will go very well with the other 2, though I have to wait 4 more years to fill up my 5 shelved cabinet.

The design looks like a lot of time and attention was taken to perfect the body work. My only concern is unless you have seen photos of the real life car the 3 corner bars and surrounding large holes look odd. Possibly needed new transparent triangular pieces and panels here, which could be useful for future Lego sport car sets rather than the usual circular bulb. Instead seemed to have favored new panel designs over the wheels, lower door and bonnet which could be useful in own mocs if the color was more standard.

Missing a rear view image to compare against the car to see how they managed here with the x profile. From above the rear bonnet seems to have kept them awake with connectors and tiny panels, so looks like they obtained a reasonable likeness.

looks sweet but certainly out of my price range. that launch video was really cool, too!

Cool, but why again a car from Volkswagen? I meanPorsche, Bugatti, and Lamborghini are owned by them. Why not Ferrari or Pagani or Königsegg or the new mid engine Corvette? there are plenty of interesting cars out there.

Its a buy once discounted can someone motorize one and publish Instructions please be great if we can remotely change gear as well. thanks

Me vs. my wallet here. I love this. I think it is the best one they have ever done!

Its a tie up ........ think money and marketing, you'll get there

Do I like it, yes
Do I like the colour, yes
Do I think it looks good, yes
Do I think I'll buy it, yes
Do you think I'll buy it at £349, hell no

I get licenses, development, nice box, new parts etc, but bar BatMobile and Stranger Things (I wanted them for a show and BM for Xmas) I am not buying day one Lego anymore. Their pricing is ridiculous, especially UK vS US, it's outrageous. 10percent cheaper yet again

Id love to have every big technic set ,price kills me then display/storage area problem. the joy of the build lasts forever,and unlike bricks they take kid abuse if exposed to them.

Feels like there's an alienatingly expensive high-end set for each month, huh

Please remember that in the U.S. sales tax is added when purchased. Taxes could range from 0% up to 10%+. My Lego store also has a mall tax, so when purchased their the taxes bring the price up by 10.5%

Thank you for the US price comments, I hadnt considered the tax. Cheers! :)

This "nugget of purest green" represents so much of what's wrong with our civilisation. One would hope that after such widespread disease & death, people would move away from desiring such idols of consumerism.

Imagine a world where cars aren't revered & worshipped but are instead treated as the utilitarian tools that they should be.

(This is the sort of melodrama that'll really alienate a few people!)

Cool car, ugly color!

Ooh, that is such a nice color!

The hood details are not accurate. Once seen, it's hard to un-see it.

Ugly car, horrible colour.
I might pick it up one day but I'll need a major, major discount first.

Rather than another licensed model, I'd really like to see a 2020 version of the 8880 Supercar.

Uggh. That price. That color.

My wallet is thankful it is not a Countach straight out of the 80s in either red or yellow.

I don't want to sound negative, but I must say I am really underwhelmed when I look at this. As others have said, the headlights (or lack of) and off-putting color are probably what I dislike the most. (to be fair, the headlight thing is something I'm not a fan of on the real vehicle, so that's not LEGO's fault, just personal taste.) I don't think the box art does it any favors either, as it seems to distort it. Other than that....oh yeah, the little matter of price may also have something to do with it. I thought $350 was pushing it with the Bugatti, but really, TLG, $380?
Who knows, maybe I'll eventually warm up to it a bit if I see it in person, but at this moment I'm just not a big fan. Oh well, more to save for modulars and other Creator Expert sets. Happy to see that some people like it though, and I hope they enjoy it!

Yikes, that lime green color is hideous. Otherwise, a nice model.

To be honest, this is an ugly car. Not entirely Lego's fault, but they could have picked another car, make it smaller in the $200 range.

I think I have to get it , I have every super car since 1977. But over $500 Canadian inc GST is high. I don't like that paddle shift. I don't know how that is in the real car, but I rather see a stick as in older super cars. I still like it, but I like the days without the big panel pieces better, it kept the car more open, and you could see how things work. For me it doesn't have to be a brand name. All the old super cars are nice to.

Lots of comments on this one. Mine is I do like it, It looks to go perfectly with the Orange Porsche and Blue Bugatti, I do like a posh box but not at £350. As has been said, PRICE, I think I paid £215 for my £330 Bugatti and £160 for my £260 Porsche, So If I can get this for about £215 One will be free. And as also has been said what is the point of having a working Gearbox and no motor, or even a way to change gear without proding in though the window?

Finally, an affordable Lamborghini, I won't buy but it's a beauty.

It looks great for a Technic version of a car with that many curves.

I read once, I think on Brickset, that Lego prices sets for discounting? If some people are willing to pay RRP even if most will only pay $100 off RRP, it makes sense Lego chooses the higher price, knowing retailers will discount the set eventually.

$500 CAD is crazy, these car sets are getting more expensive each year. Luckily I don't care about Lego Technic or super cars at all, but if I were that price would've been a hard pill to swallow.

Still no new train.... :(

Going to nickname this bad boy The Lime Green Machine because I love nicknaming cars. But in all seriousness, I actually like the color. Gives it personality, ya know?

Love the color. My wife's (substantially less expensive, lol) Honda is that exact color. In the suburb we live in we've only ever seen 3 cars that color: hers, a recent Mustang, and a Lamborghini. Not the worst car company to keep...

A beauty, but I still like the Bugatti better.

I see the box is marked "18+". Some people are convinced that "18+" is a theme replacing Creator Expert. I think this proves that that is not the case and "18+" is merely an age recommendation that some people seem to be getting way to worked up over.

For that price ??
What happens to TLG that has not been able to find another way to take our money out of our pockets with the same plastic sticks?
I rather expend that amount on something that really works...

People complaining about the choice of model and/or color should consider that both are most likely chosen by Lamborghini.

It may be that TLG has approached Lamborghini (or VW!) and proposed to create a Technic Lamborghini, however, Lamborghini will decide what model in what color they want to promote with this set.

I am pretty sure that the only option TLG has is to say yes or no.

Looks sleek. But how on Earth did that 'Sian' type outline ever get signed off!? It's truly terrible :(

Terrible colour.

TAKE MY MONEY LEGO... When i have the money :P

Not sure if I will buy it (the option: 'maybe' is never available in these polls) and I am not a Lego Technic guy, but somehow I am really drawn to this set, because it looks really AWESOME!!!
It is also very expensive, but not necessarily overpriced, though it is understandable to wait for it to be on special offer somewhere.
Is it just me?! I am often really annoyed by all those non-matching colour technic pins in blue, TLG should have made them in matching lime green.
All the technic features seem really great such as moving pistons, steering, and front and rear suspension.
Lamborghinis are such amazing futuristic supercars, and lime green really suits it.
Not sure if I will every purchase this set, but I sure like it.

I've been able to resist the Technic supercar range so far...
I like the colour, even though it's proving to be unpopular. I mean, I wouldn't buy a *real* one that colour if I were in the market for one...

Since the Bugatti was almost 50% down in price at some point, I'm confident it will have a more reasonable price at some point.
Nice car, but it's time for some really new technical features (like camshafts and a clutch). And the front and rear lights should have been transparent (clear / red) imho. That would have made it look more attractive.
Just find it hard to justify buying it if there's already a GT3 or Chiron.

Everyone obviously is entitled to and has their own preferences but let's be real, if a person is in the market for a Lamborghini or supercar in general it's probably not their only car or even their daily driver so they've got money to spend and experiment with their color palette. With the Sian its looks are pretty far out there and wouldn't be for someone looking to be low key. standard whites and muted colors might look good but Lamborghini has made a name for themselves by being bold and radical, especially with color choices. That being said, I personally don't like the metallic olive green color that Lamborghini debuted the Sian with.

Very impressive set. The shaping and color are quite nice IMO. I especially like the little Italian flag strips they incorporated into the engine cover.

I love it! Lime green and all. But I feel like once I am employed full-time again, it will come down to a decision to get the Roller Coaster or the Sian first. They are the same price! The obvious answer should be the Roller Coaster, but with the backlogs in production due to factory closures, I almost wonder if they will be both equally difficult to purchase. At least there is the chance in the USA that the Sian goes on sale, but that might not be until next year. Hmm, decisions, decisions!

If you're going to pay Jeff Bezos money for a supercar, you're not going to get it in grey...you're going to pick some bright and unusual color so that it stands out and tells everyone, "LOOK AT ME! I'M DRIVING A LAMBORGHINI!"

I appreciate a lot of effort has gone into this by the designers and I take my hat of too them, but what is wrong with just doing a normal Technic car, without a lisence agreement such as 8880, 8070 which are cracking cars with Technic features. Presumably, it would be cheaper? I thought Lego was to inspire imagination and not being presented with the reality.

Lots of complaining here today. Yes, it's expensive, but it has the most pieces of any of the Technic cars in the line up.

The color and looks; great. Search YouTube for the actual reveal of the car at the car show and you'll see why the color was selected. It looks very accurate given some of the constraints of Lego - a finite collection of pre-molded elements.

Lastly, I would believe this model was selected due to its limited availability (only 63 manufactured and released for sale), and it's cutting edge technology of being a hybrid super car with over 800 horse power.

If only I had $370 to drop on this...

Curse my broke teenage bank-account lol

Heck yeah, I'm getting this. You complainers sound like Star Wars fans!

I love the way it looks, I love the color, can't wait to build it. It'll look great next to my orange Porsche.

I got the Bugatti for £212.50. The same discount (36%) on this one would make it £225. So I guess anyone put off by the price just needs to be patient.

The sweet smell of blood in the water.

Sigh...

I remember the days we got Technic Ferrari's. Interestingly they were released under Reacers theme, not Technic. So, I'm thinking Ferrari maybe next.

About the color, I like it. But from my experience with Speed Champions' lime Porsche, a color difference between parts would be terrible. I don't have OCD but it will bite my eye forever.

As for getting one, no, I'll not. Much like SW busts, if I wanted a model of something to sit around, I'd buy a proper one. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a huge Technic car, but I want the freedom of design in original Lego cars. I want pop-up headlights, raising rear wings, adjustable seats, an open V12 engine and whatnot.

On the other hand, I'll be waiting for the next big name Lego Technic supercar with much hype.

The Porsche in lime green? Can't be Lego then, because those Porsche fenders aren't available in lime green for one thing...

CCC said: "exclusive luxury packaging = box for this set"

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any idea of likely production costs for the various types boxes Lego uses for sets this size? Like an elaborate "luxury" box with several boxes inside like used here vs. Architecture-style flip-lid vs. standard end-opening ones?

IMO Lamborghinis are ugly, so this is an easy pass for me.

Like the model, not sure about the colour though.
I'll probably buy it on Amazon, end of this year, for 260 € (just like the Porsche and the Bugatti)

But please don't it be 5 different shades of lime green. The weathered look doesn't do any justice to supercars.

I like the color, but not super into cars.
Also feel like those would work better as creator than technic models

Finally, it's limeparts-galore! All those missing lime parts will finally become available.

The design and technical aspect of this set is awesome. What is not nice (at all), is as mentioned by many here, the color (lime green). Can't they use a darker green or any color that is less bright...

Won't it be obvious, that the marketing materials are darken in some way because that is how it is supposed to look. If you look at, not on this page but on youtube or other pages you would clearly see how (not as nice) the lime green color is (depending on light condition too). While keeping in mind the targeted audience in this case, and the original color, coolness of the car that the set is supposed to portray.

* And I beg to differ the sentence: 'presented in a luxury box'... Honestly how luxurious it will look when you have a large patch of bright green on one side of the box printed on paper and 'trying to' visualized it as the back of a car, seriously? For kids, yes, that can be exciting (maybe for boys below 12 years of age). The box's exterior is in my opinion less luxurious than the previous Porsche and Bugatti. Nevertheless, the box's interior is quite nicely designed and well done.

Its gorgeous. Also, its priced like a Lambo, go figure... haha... Its a no for me, not only for the cash but for the space, same with the other Technic models, Chiron & GT3 - They dont fit on my IKEA stuff! haha..

Out of respect for Brickset articles efforts and for LEGO, please be more careful in writing names in comments.
There's above a "As a fan of lamborghini"...

Please pay attention at our image for the possible visitors of this LEGO fans site. Bugatti is not bugatti and Lamborghini is not lamborghini.

And, by the way....there's no lego or Lego. There is ONLY .....LEGO.

If you consider yourself a fan and not just a visitor in this passion.

the design is definitely superb, it is very sleek like the real Lambo... however, i am totally being put off by the hefty price tag... it is too much to ask for... and also... green has never been my color...

@meliander said:
"Technic is not about the real world cars or design, it's about the functionality. The most exciting part is when things move, not stand on the shelf! Who wants the 8-speed transmission if you can neither see nor feel it? Lego is trying to do 2 things at once again and is not nailing any. If you want to do a Lamborghini as a display piece - finish the design, cover the gaps and get rid of those blue pins. No 8-speed transmission needed, just steering would be enough. Or do the opposite - open up the model, get rid of license and use the budget to add a motor and lights. Right now it's half baked and this sucks because I can really see the talent of the designers that have been working on it."

Agreed! I think the best combo would be a creator expert vehicle WITH the 8-speed transmition, steering, etc. The technic cars mostly have blue pins, gaps, etc and they look ugly, so technic would not be the best building system for the curves, but system dosen't have much function, like transmission. The BEST combo would be if you combine the nice system outside with the functions technic on the inside.

The actual car is beautiful, this is not. I also don't understand why it has a transmission at all.

Just finished the build which was great fun. The model itself is a great representation of the real thing. But there’s too many different variations of the lime green parts. 1 or 2 parts would have been ok but nearly everyone is different and it almost looks hideous. Even the red axle pins are different shades of red. I’m currently awaiting Lego’s response. Come on Lego why are the parts not all the same colour, for the cost it just doesn’t represent the value with different shades in colour.
