according to my dad, no the engine cover isn't hinged, but lifts off. I suppose in a race, its easier if you don't have to duck under a cover to get to the engine
Not just that. It's the space saving and weight saving by having no hinges. Far simpler and lighter to just have catches to release, the the service technicians just lift the entire panel off the car
is your dad a reliable source? im only asking.
@@darrenfalconer3267 It's very common for race cars to have bolt-on panels. It's even shown in the 911 rsr, the front hood does not hinge up as it's bolted down, the 488 rear boot is also bolt on
Source?! dad 🗿🗿
Nice dad bro, I also have a walking encyclopedia dad. 😊
With all flawes of this model that you reasonbly pointed out,I still think it looks pretty impressive.Nice review!👍
Blacklight/UV makes glow-in-the-dark extra bright.
Which is the better build? The Porsche 911 RSR or the Ford GT?
It doesn’t comes with printed pieces is major flaw 😅
Secondly Rest of world have to pay 200$ ,that’s the most annoying part 😢
I am definitely buying this set but only after the price drops a bit. It looks awesome. Great review
The 24 hours race car just looks so good. My favourite out of the bunch.
Honestly I'm always going to be horribly biased in favour of the older sets for their B models. And while this is probably a minority opinion I do like the more simplistic, chunky and off brand look of the older sets. I can absolutely respect the increasing accuracy of the modern sets but they don't appeal as much. It's probably just because that is what I grew up with, when technic sets never even had panels and they were all skeletons made of beams and rods. They were built more for functions and playability than to look good on a shelf while the old model team series (now basically creator expert) were all about minimal functions but high detail and accuracy.
I’m mostly in agreement. I’d rather have “a hybrid race car” that’s a bit blocky and lifts design elements from a whole category of vehicle, but with cool building techniques and lots of clever and interesting functions and mechanisms, than an accurate-looking Chevy or Porsche or whatever with excellent shaping but few functions and not very Lego-like.
(For a similar reason, I sorta miss when the vast majority of Lego parts were blue/yellow/red/white/black/gray, and other colors were rare accents or nonexistent. Those bright primary colors are a big part of the look of a Lego creation, to me. I love many of the newer, subtler or more-realistic colors, but they lose a little something when they’re the norm.)
@@natbarmore IMO not having to adhere to a certain brand works better in smaller scale too because they can design something that looks good (or at least ok) rather than something that vaguely looks like the real thing but is a mess overral (see: raptor, shelby)
I agree but i hate b models cause when i was a kid i would try to build the b model an lose all the parts and im only now taking the time to build all my old models again
I hope Lego will find a solution for a windshield on their Technic cars. Back when they were largely skeletal like 8880 or 8070, the empty window frames didn't bother me much, but with this new much more panelled look they go for currently, it can look very jarring, especially on the Peugeot or Ford GT. They got a great idea on the Ducati Panigale bike, with the thick flexible foil windshield. If they found a way of making one fully transparent, and how to attach it to the frame, something like that could be the answer for cars as well.
It gets tricky because once you do a real windscreen you kind of have to do real windows for every other window frame or it’s going to look a little weird.
@@AresWasTaken Not necessarily. Look at the Creator Expert series cars. They usually only have windshield and back window, but no side windows. Many diecast model cars are similar as well.
@@CrazyChemistPL A lot of creator expert sets don't have it because they can't make custom window elements for every set, but in sets like the double decker and ecto1, where the windows are all pretty square and fits existing elements, they are filled in. Cheaper die cast models dont have windows because of costs and it's easier to open doors through the window, but higher end die cast models do have windows (unless it's an open top car).
Apart from amount of DBG parts, I like the suspension in this set - more of the new shock absorbers is a good thing as well :)
The Peugeot is definitely an upgrade to the horrible Ferrari 44
88
Horrible ??? It looks good by me
Couldn't agree more, nothing about it says ferrari to me. Hideous
I bought this Peugeot as my first Lego set ever. I have to say that I'm really satisfied. The instructions were mostly easy to follow, even though I had had a few beers, although I have to say there was a moment where I had to undo a lot just because of one misplaced brick. The perfectionist inside me hates the stickers because they leave very little room for error. The car looks very nice. I think that the toy looks nothing like the real one, but I actually prefer the esthetics of the toy. The whole design is very study which is great because I have an instict for grabbing things by structurally weakest point.
One small problem is that it's difficult to position the doors in such a way that they open and close smoothly, but it's not a problem big enough to spend time investigating.
Something that is a bigger issue and applies to Lego sets in general is the inclusion of spare parts. Yes, it's nice they're there, but I was a bit scared that I had missed a step when I saw a few bricks still on the table after finishing the first bag and I had to look it up online that a few bricks are supposed to be left unused. After finishing the whole set I was left with four 2780 pins while online resources say I should be left with two which means that most likely I missed some connection somewhere, and now I have realistically zero chances of figuring out what exactly went wrong in my build process. Probably these two pins aren't important though if I can't notice anything wrong with the car. Without the spare parts included I would at least be able to track my brick usage per-bag.
All in all, I wanted to have interesting and satisfactory, yet straightforward building experience which would result in a cool-looking display piece that also technically speaking satisfies the definition of a toy car just for that one evening sometime in June next year when I randomly decide to play with the car for ten minutes. I definitely can tell I got what I had expected. I already ordered two more sets to build in the future: the Sian and the Defender.
Another great video .. It is definitely a must get. I am still having a bit of an issue with the fact there’s no windscreen. At certain angles, it looks quite odd because of the A pillars being so pushed back.
I’m currently working on a front discharge mixer. Was looking thru the internet and not a single person has built on of those. So why not build the first of its kind
At 1.43 , there is a part that you forgot to connect, which connects the hood to the windshield, and simulates the gap that you talking about, when saying that you don't feel the need of having a window. Also, GT cars, like the Ferrari and Porsche, are always higher then the prototypes like the peugeot, so that gap is perfectly acceptable
Not really a fan of Lego technic sets because they have more gaps than a range rover, but nevertheless this technic sets are still cool and creative
Thing i mis most in this set is the lack of detailing on the wheels, i would have used some blade pieces with some claws to make the design, missed touch but for the rest amazing set
I’m normally not a fan of technic sets, but I will definitely be getting this
Nice
I'm always surprised that people aren't fans of LEGO technic sets, cause I grew up on Bionicle and have had very few regular brick LEGO sets. However, some of the larger cars have looked amazing, like the white Porsche 911 set 10295, so I got that one
Would be good if Lego made a Porsche 963 in this scale. That would be my preference. Great review!
I'm running out of room to display my lego cars, i was really hoping i wouldn't have to buy this one, but after this review, I'm 100% sold... I also have the 1/10 Ferrari and hate it, the porsche is ugly as sin, but I do love the OG Technic Rally car and I'm looking forward to the Puegot build!
The LEGO Technic Peugeot 9x8 hypercar looks awesome, but when I hear people say it is a cool display piece, it makes me worry because it means LEGO Technic focuses on more on display and less functions. Also, I think a big missed opportunity are the printed tires. The real car has printed tires. Come on LEGO, why can't we get printed tires anymore if you call it a display piece? However, I still like the set and the designer of the model did a great job.
I think slick tires would have been good 🤔
While I'm not planning on getting this set anytime soon I'll agree that this is still an enormous improvement over the first handful of builds at this price point scale. A denser more functional build with realistic styling is a really exciting direction for future Technic releases. Personally I really like the smaller scale of the Raptor/Ford GT but seeing a similar build trend carry over to larger cars is great to see. Also really love the B model on the Rally car from I think 2018. Despite the hollowness of the build it's still decently functional in both models.
Modern LeMans Prototype cars have never had hinged clamshells. This is for ease of access and time.
Awesome vehicle
Shame their new Le Man's livery was released after the lego set got released
They should make an improved f1 car with more functions
Just a correction:
both the Porsche 911 rsr and the Ferrari 488 gte are closer to a 1:9 scale, respectively around 1:8.9 and 1:8.7, not 1:10 (as is the 9x8)
Makes sense, but those sets all look great together being pretty similar in size
@@ocallaghancolin94 Yes indeed.
I feel like also the McLaren F1 fits well, not only since they are all race cars, but in terms of proportions as well. The Peugeot is close to being 1.10 scale, while the McLaren also is around 1:9 (similar in size with the old 1:8 lego racers f1, but the real f1 cars grew in size so now the McLaren has a 1:8.6 proportion)
Great review - I'm totally new to these new Lego sets, having grown up with them in the 80s. Very tempted to get the Peugeot, now ;-)
I don't like the suspension. Lego could have done better.
Lol
Thanks so much for the review! Will definitely be buying this at some point!
Really starting to consider this, it looks very interesting. Great review as always B. I will never understand that's a Ferrari, lol.
I was going to get this but I'm thinking going for the large X-Wing instead.
Hi RacingBrick, Balazs here. Your Lego Technic car suspension is very durable.
Or is it?
Great review as always.
Just one thing : evolution doesn't necessarily mean better it just means different
I actually got one today. So far it's been amazing to build
Thank you, the size comparisons is exactly what I wanted to see. I also feel like a video on wheel upgrades for the sets would be cool. I wonder if the classic Defender can fit larger tires…
where i can buy 42039 24-hour race car? I really like it and I would like to buy , but I cant find that good price, can someone help me please?
Really really love your videos! I reckon this looks amazing and reflects the real thing really well. Nails the batmobile vibe and the density is definitely noticeable, it looks very solid. 1:10 is possibly to big for my shelves but otherwise I would definitely look to get this
Hi i was wondering if you can help me with my build. My front suspension is not bouncing at all looks like i made a mistake when building it and i dont want to disassemble everything. Hope you can help me Thanks
I did mistake accidentally pill my lego technic Peugeot sticker 😅 anyone can you help me to find another sticker Peugeot sticker and Little bit parts I need to
How is the land Rover defender the same price with the features and part count of the supercar models 💀💀👍👍👍
So no gearbox?
Nope. Lego straight up lied.
If You know, what Lego sets are like with ~1700 parts, then You must have known there would be no working gearbox.
bought for 130€
How I display my Lego technic sets: park them
i have the ford GT and this Peugeot is huge sitting next to the ford. i like it
Tescoban karácsonyig clubcarddal 57 ezer a szett, szerintem bőven megéri!
42039 mechanism
42077 rc
42156 look
the rsr is actually 200 euro i checked about three times
To my knowledge, this is the first time Lego makes a model of a french car (in my opinion, Bugatti doesn't count as french). I hope they do more, especially for the speed champion line.
Ugly blue pins.
Welcome to the world of LEGO Technic, are you new here? :)
Nope, but thats why I have a mass of CaDa black pins to replace them
What about the 8070? Why didn't you compare it with him? It's also a cool model on this scale
Probably because I don't have all the Technic sets from the previous 30 years assembled?
4:20 I don't know for sure but maybe you can find some of those tritium radioluminescent tubes in the right size?
They are pretty bright on their own and don't require "charging".
Downside is that they are ridiculously expensive (expect about 30 bucks *per piece*, so 180 bucks in total) and they lose about half of their intensity after 12.5 years :\
I've just finished the Ford GT Model which has taken top spot as my largest car from the Batmobile. I have this Peugeot 9x8 coming tomorrow and seeing how it dwarfs even the Ford GT is quite scary.
50 shades of grey, Ferrari and Porsche Dakar editions... Thanks for your humour, Bro...for making us smile always! 🙏🏼☺️...and also Thanks for the li'l history lesson regarding the Lego Technic 1:10 scale cars too 🤗...
The Blue Tension Clips SUCK‼️
Thank you for the review. I just picked up this model today for €135 via Amazon Prime “deals”… Quick Q… Do you think we’ll get the Ferrari 499P anytime soon?
I loved the Porsche 911 RSR and Ferrari 488 GTE, the latter being one of my first technic sets and I'm a big fan of stickers, no really I am lol 😅 but other then this new addition to my 1:10 scale cars I really do hope next year they still come out with a new 1:8 licensed car with a NEW style gearbox then the (3) previous which is the ones I have (goddamn Porsche 911 GT3 RS, so EXPENSIVE NOW) but ya hoping they don't stop the 1:8 scale hypercars... 😅😅😅😢
I have a problem with this set that I have had in the past with few other cars as well. I look at it and I like it a lot at first, but then I compare it with the real life car and I see how off it is. In my opinion the Ford GT did a much better job in a smaller size than the Peugeot.
As I said, its a nice LEGO model, but when compared to real life car it isnt that great representation.
remember set no.42098 car transporter truck? lego should make a motorized,1:10 scale compatible set just like the 42098 (the only difference is that its gonna be huge)
A great video, the “50 shades of grey” comment made me laugh. I prefer the larger Lego vehicles, and just imagine if you could install the Lego RC system into the bigger, Lego Technic and Icons vehicles, especially the Peugeot. Thanks for sharing.
I have the RSR and the GTE....both are flimsy messes compared to the Peugeot. This one is by far my favorite of the bunch.
I will get the Peugeot, but a will wait a couple of months, Symth's toys in the UK will discount it, I would see around £40 to £50 of the lego retail price. It will be a bargain then.
Great videos ! (part 1 AND 2). I like the nice comparison with all the earlier models 💪🤘 and surely gonna get the 42156 set🤭🤗
Balázs, I think you compared the car with the wrong pictures. The ones that you used are the preview renders , so the car isn’t the same as the ones that Peugeot runs on the race weekends.
I used the official photos from Stellanis, guess these are the same as LEGO designers used.
@@RacingBrick I don’t want to argue or anything like it, but if you look closer to the air intake above the windshield, it’s definitely a triangular shape which is the new version, and the front of the car has two little winglets which also a feature that the show car didn’t have.
PS.: Also, I think Lego always shows the pictures (on the box/website) of that specific version of the car that they tried to replicate. For example the new speed champions Porsche 963 set, doesn’t look like the current car (I mean it does, but it doesn’t have any sponsors on it), so Lego printed pictures of the car on the box, where we see the car without them.
The same thing here, we see the current version of the car and not the preview renders.
@@hegedustamas4787 I understand that the car has changed, and believe me it will continue changing over the season, just like all race cars do since they are in constant development. I don't think any of those changes are significant enough to influence my opinion about the set or the end result. I simply used clean official photos where certain angles of the car were visible, which wouldn't be possible with photos taken during races.
Hi Balaz. Thanks for your excellent review. I have ordered the model and can't wait to get started. You suggested two changes in your review - black 16-tooth cogs for the steering and the pieces to fill the gap in the rear bodywork. I've not order individual pieces before. Can you suggest a site that is good for individual parts, and how I can get the right parts with the correct colour please? Thanks!
Unlikely we will go back to the unlicensed era of 1:10 Technic cars. The licensed models are much easier to advertise and sell to non core fans, and LEGO needs volume in order to meet the minimal production costs.
Great review! I probably buy it but after experienced how superrior the Cada's engineers are, Lego really feels like a basic toy :( I hope They'll make a Le mans car too.
I was waiting for your review since the lego announcement. You made two nice review for this set like always 👍. It's a must have for me by the way I'm from France but I dont want it because it's a Peugeot car, I want it because the design of this car is amazing.
I just built that Lego it is so cool but I'm 9
Great review as always! Ive waited for the price to go down on this set and recently bought it at €108 which is a great price/stone ratio. And you gotta love the design and build of the car
Why Peugeot 9x8? It doesn't have 9 wheels and 8 driving wheels.
9 is for their high-performance models, x for AWD and electric and 8 is for their contemporary models
The previous Peugeot LMP was the 908, this is the next step.
@@trev3971und der Oldi der 905
This great review got me into buying one, however the lights do shine like is show on the box, it's just the matter of sun exposure, wish I could attach a photo here.
actually a black light will excite the florescent bars even with regular room light, and give the look you see in the promo image ;)
Hold a flash light/ phone flash on the front glow in the dark bars this will charge them and when you remove the light the bars will be very bright
a first day discount of 30% is just retarded with the lego margin being under 40%
Price on "TFF" was 129.99€ at the beginning, after rise to 139.99
I’m new to lego technic but man if lego would do legit carbon fiber pieces that would stand out so nice!!!!
They have to make the Ferrari 499p, would be amazing
a bought today this model 😬
Hit the glow in the dark headlights with a bright flashlight before making the room dark and they glow way brighter.
Next review probably gonna be UCS X WING
Thank you for this great review and comparision with other similar sets !
I still feel the price is about 30% inflated over what would be fair.
I personally don’t like the finished look but the build dose look good.
Thanks for this balanced review. Especially the comparisons with the some older models is very interesting. I would call it evolution towards the Peugeot and recent Ford GT. Luckily they didn't remove the HOG-steering in these sets, like they did with the Porsche 911 RSR and Ferrari 488 GTE. It really adds to the fun, when completing a model. In fact, I'd wish they added the HOG-steering to the 1:8 scale supercars too.
Those rendered/long exposure glow-in-the-dark pics, that’s just false advertising.
yeah, and I wouldn't trust those LEGO City helicopter boxes either, I'm afraid they can't really fly 🧐🙄
@@RacingBrick even a child understands that won’t fly. Seeing that glow-in-the-dark stuff, not so much. So that’s apples vs oranges I’m afraid.
I liked the ford gt more cause of its value but this is alittle overpriced
9:43 No! You do not get to simply skirt around the fact that Lego lied to us in their advertisement! It is a completely scummy and unethical thing to do!
If You know, what Lego sets are like with ~1700 parts, then You must have known there would be no working gearbox.
Dude, relax. That was one sentence in the press release, written by PR people who don't know sh*t about Technic. You don't find it in the product description on LEGO.com or anywhere else.
This is really a based review, thank you for pointing out the differences in the suspension. As you correctly point out, this set feels like a major improvement to the other recent sets.
I have the LEGO Technic 42156, its AWESOME and I got it for 5000 THB, which is 200 CAD, or 150 USD.
How heavy was it ?
Do you think the price will be lower in a few months?
Great two parter review of this technic set, the comparison to the other technic eras is very satisfying as it gives me the consumer something to draw comparisons to. Awesome job and looking forward to more review videos.
I removed the springs on the porsche rsr its much better now
what is the green car he showed call and whats the place a can buy it
10:12 there is some bug ;)
42077 is still in my heart. But this new one have a big pottential for MOC. I am waiting for good promo, and probably it will be part of my collection.
Lol, I corrected it when the text first appeared but forgot that I used it later as well :D
@@RacingBrick sorry, my testers soul.
Well, then you've sold me. I'll grab this before the 911 RSR (personally love Porsches) but will definitely get the 911 RSR before the year end discontinuation. Before that though, are there any mocs (the stock Jeep Wrangler MOC looks cool) or parts you feel the Zetros is worth getting for $300 CAD before the June end? I've never had any powered sets so it still intrigues me a little.
No b model is so lazy
I dont think its a bad set but for me that loves WEC and IMSA racing have a lot of questions on why not the ferrari 499p or the porsche 963 or even the Cadillac or the Toyota they look so much better than this one its a miss hit from lego imo...
This Peugeot has a badass looking.. My fav cars are Ferrari and Porsche, but their new wec cars are so boring..
You might have pointed out that the "electric components" on this hybrid car are two gears and a sticker, which is lousy.
What else did you expect, honestly? The electric motor in the real car is as big as the rotating LEGO cylinder representing it. There's no way to put LEGO electronics here, and even if they did what would be the point?
