LEGO Technic Supercar

Bought this for my son who is 11 and he loved it. It is difficult and he needed a little help to get started but it took him 2 whole days to complete over Christmas. Very impressive once built. Hard to find another one that will challenge him as much as this did.

My wife and I bought this for our son's 31st Birthday as he likes super cars. it has 1000 or more pieces and it will take possibly over a periods of weeks or months to assemble it, depending on your time and efforts. you can also print out on online another model or version with similar pieces, therefore there are two models in one, but you can only do one model at the time. Has an engine as well. It is an amazing grown up game puzzle to keep you occuppied in your spare times.

this is an excellent product, which, as with all lego products, comes with a superb set of step by step instructions. my 9 yr old lad put it together by himself but he is an experienced lego builder. I would expect most 9-10 yr olds with lego in their blood would be able to assemble this, although attention to detail is the key.

The Lego Technic car was a birthday gift for my 9 year old son and he loved it. He spent about 4 days a couple of hours each to built it and in doing so learned a lot about the mechanics that drive a car. The quality of the finished product is excellent as he can use it for playing without it falling to pieces like the regular Lego. The car comes with a small electric engine that powers opening and closing of the doors, back door and bonnet.

My son wanted this for his 10th birthday. Had to shop around a bit to get the best price. Quite an expensive bit of kit but great all the same. he spent most of the day building it and although its meant for slightly older kids, he had no problems working out what went where. Cool engine that has moving pistons and a couple of motorized parts such as doors and boot. The only problem (as we had with the jet fighter) is that he does'nt want to break it down to build the alternate car. Another slight gripe is that you need to download the alternate instructions from the net. At this price (and it was'nt cheap) i would have expected them to include the alternate instructions.He loves it though and plays with it a lot. He wants me to buy him another so he can build the other retro looking car - i wonder how many other kids are saying the same to their parents - nice marketing there Mr. Lego!!!! All in all i'd say its a great educational as well as fun building toy. He now wants the bigger ones that Lego has just brought out - maybe i'll win the lottery this week!

It looks like it will move. The transmission is all there- but it doesn't move! I'm not a mechanic but even I can see that it would take ONE slight alteration to ONE cog and it WOULD move. But, not sure if I mentioned this, it doesn't move. What were they thinking? Looks great BUT IT DOESN'T MOVE. Needs big sign on box 'To avoid disappointing 9 year old son you should be aware that, although this could easily move, we have decided to make it NOT move'. AAAAARGH!

Gift for my 12 year old brother who is thoroughly enjoying building this car completely independently!! Keeps him busy!! He has not finished it yet, so cannot comment on the outcome. Does seem daunting at first with so many small parts but must come with clear instructions if he is able to work through it without my help.

Absolutely brilliant model. A joy to build. It is a prime example of why Lego are still at the top of their game after so many years.
