Awesome Product Build
on June 19, 2022
Posted by: Nitro Nine # 9
This is by far one of my favorite pieces to build and show. The packaging and the books really add to the
"Ferrari" experience.

Hardest Technic set to date
on June 13, 2022
Posted by: Deiondre
Overall this build is fantastic, It's so tricky but enjoyable at the same time. The experience I had while building this Ferrari Daytona SP3 will never be matched. The detail and precision put into this set are perplexing. My only complaint about the set is the front hood; it just flops around. I wish it could hold itself up as the trunk lid does.

*** BEWARE of this misprint!
on June 12, 2022

In book 1 on Page 94 (Step 104), in the box at the top, they put the green “check” mark next to the Wrong Piece! The correct piece is the bigger dark gray piece where they mistakenly put the red X telling you not to use it. Use it. You will see it’s the bigger dark gray piece that fits.

Wrong Instructions
on June 11, 2022
Posted by: watchura
The overall build and the set is pretty good, but instructions are wrong. Specifically Page 104 in Book 1.
There is two ball joints in the scale comparison, and it says you should use the smaller one, that is wrong. You should use the larger one. I was stumped by it and almost ordered a replacement part.

/n Suggestions to LEGO:
1. At least update your online printable instructions pdf.
2. Have a "known issues" repository to publish these corrections so that builders can refer that!

disappointed
on June 7, 2022
Posted by: AnotherLegoGuy
Purchased this beautiful set. Impressed by the packaging. Was really looking forward to starting the build. Imagine opening the first four bags, spreading everything out and ready to get started only to have the first 2 blocks needed to start the build missing! Requested replacements today but I guess I'll just wait a week with these blocks sitting on my desk before I can start this. Painfully disappointed in this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Do Not Underestimate This Set!
on June 4, 2022
Posted by: Kapura
This is easily the most difficult Lego build I've ever done. So many of the steps are prone to connecting dangly bits in fiddly ways, much moreso than any of the other technic supercars.
Most of that is in service of the flowing bodylines of the completed model, and thankfully it does come together in a very satisfying way. The rear fender bulges especially feel organic in a way that is difficult to achieve in technic. The gearbox and rear-wheel-drivetrain were also fun to put together, with a new differential assembly that's got slightly more friction than the old gearing (so the wheels are more eager to turn together when the car is lifted up). The ability to easily re-align the steering is a nice touch, as are all of the printed elements.
All that being said, I don't think this is the Technic supercar you should buy if you are looking to get your first. Both the Lambo and the Chiron have all-wheel-drivetrains, which make the front end significantly more interesting to assemble. They're also somewhat less, hmm, creative, with bodywork assembly, which means the car feels more stable while building and comes together in a much more intuitive way. The Lamborghini's gearbox assembly is also nicely exposed on the bottom in a way that makes it easy to see what the shifts are doing.
Finally, it feels like a step backward in certain ways. The top is removable, but not storable in the front trunk like the Porsche Targa. The doors open based on switches like the Lambo, butthey only lift up about 45 degrees, and the switches themselves are hidden under the rear bodywork and the action to press them without assisting the door up is so difficult that it disconnected an internal mechanism the first time I tried to use it on the assembled model (why are all of the pegs friction pegs? i may order some loose pegs and change it as an experiment). That rear bodywork that lifts up does so using somewhat iffy supports, while the front trunk uses an honest to goodness prop (!). And there's no fitted luggage to go in the larger-than-average-but-not-large-enough-for-the-top front trunk.
But hey, it looks good on a shelf next to the Chiron and the Sian, so it's worth it if that's your situation.
I would recommend this to a friend!
