Its okay I guess?
on May 21, 2023
Posted by: Grey
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The building experience was easy, and its got nice parts. The completed build is nice with the suspension. I spent about 20 minutes pressing it down and watching it bounce back up. My only gripe is the back wheels. They grind up against the chassis and i had to modify it in a way the could be considered an illegal build technique in order to prevent that from happening. Also since the car is tilted forward, the front bumper grinds against the ground which in real life would probably make it a nightmare to go up a bad slope. Overall its a nice build though, enough so that i dug through my collection and built it again for kicks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your feedback on building and playing with the set! Sounds though like something isn't quite right! The wheels should turn freely and the front end should clear the ground. Feel free to give us a call or chat at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can take a closer look!

Quite Challenging
on August 3, 2023
Posted by: Dennis
I was a bit surprised when I discovered there were no numbers on any of the bags. I thought it was a mistake but found out this was done on purpose. Once I had all the pieces separated by color, I found it a challenge to find some of the smaller pieces. None-the-less, I had great success. A nice build by any means.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing set
on September 10, 2023
Posted by: GhostlyOrange082
Love this set. I’m a huge fan of opening all the bags at once and then deep diving to find the pieces needed. This set is as such. No numbered bags just Lego pieces and instructions. Instructions were easy to follow and this took me about 10 hours to complete. I was just enjoying myself while building this so not a race to complete it. This set is big as well. Similar to the Peugeot 9x8 set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible design
on February 4, 2024
Posted by: CutestIrresistibleMagnet
The person that made this Lego has failed on a huge level. The bags are not numbered and you must open every bag and then organize them which is difficult to do this build in 1 day for my son. This is an oversight and very annoying that the bags are not separated so you can build a bag or 2 without having them all over the place.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bargain with a price
on March 3, 2024

When it comes to Technic sets, this is one of those you MUST be willing to spend some extra time and brain power on. Comparing to a set like the Peugeot 9X8, the Porsche was more of an archaic adventure. 1st, none of the bags are sorted or numbered with the instructions. So you must open and hand sort all of your parts manually. 2nd, many of the instructions image examples were very tricky to see which resulted in the need to disassemble and flip back several pages to correct the misplace parts. 3rd, the overall completed build was decent but the mechanics don’t work right after completion. For example, the gears that connect the engine to the gear box grind when the car is rolled. Though when the wheels are hand spun, it appears to operate fine. For the price and part count, it’s clear why this set was so much less than the Peugeot. In comparison, the Peugeot was one of the most pleasurable and satisfying builds I’ve works on to date. This Porsche, it’s neat, cool looking when done but I would never do it again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your honest review! It's never fun when things don't work as they should. We're sorry that the instructions weren't easy to follow, you can always try higher contrast digital instructions that allow you to zoom in and rotate at LEGO.build/BuilderApp-BV. Your feedback will be shared with our quality and design teams. Give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV for further assistance.
