Great set, Fun build!
on September 11, 2022
Posted by: Ron1nFlorida
This is the first Lego Technic set I've purchased and built since 1994 which was the Super Car 8880 set. I had a fun experience learning how to build with the new stud-less design that Lego has moved to. I enjoyed the build which I took my time and completed over a months time. I enjoy the technical aspects of these sets and have owned and built all the early Technic sets from the 80's. I really enjoy transportation models, cars, planes, helicopters, construction equipment. I made a few mistakes but I went back and found the issues. Went online and watched the reviews that pointed out mistakes in the build. Building Lego is a very Zen thing, you can forget about your troubles and get lost in the fun of building! It sure beats a jigsaw puzzle! I would like to see more cars come out in the 1/8 scale, Corvette, Mustang, etc along with more Airplanes and Helicopters! Keep up the good work!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Build!
on October 13, 2022

This is, perhaps, the most challenging build I’ve ever done. There are plenty of complexities to keep you engaged and fascinated. There are a couple steps that are literally “impossible” to do without wrenching the pieces together and a few other steps that could have been better with a few pieces placed in different orders. Also, a couple of the illustrations are not as clear as they could have been. But, all in all, the build was complex, exciting and detailed—and a whole lot of fun!
I am amazed at the detail this model provides, as well as the complexity of the moving parts. Let me tell you about one particular feature that is TOTALLY AWESOME!
So, while I’m building the gear box, I notice it has an 8-speed sequential transmission that switches gears automatically. Then, when I finish the model, I’m looking all over this model, and I be like, “How do you change gears?” I keep searching around and poking my nose all over the place. Then I follow the gears and axles and find the switching pivot. Hmmmmm…… Now, how am I supposed to reach this? Then I look inside the car, and I be like, “NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!” And LEGO be like, “WAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!”
I reach inside the cockpit of the car and grab the shifting paddle behind the steering wheel and THAT CHANGES THE GEARS! That goes beyond incredible—what a fascinating detail that I never expected!
I highly recommend this build to any expert builder. It takes some finesse and patience, but it is well worth the effort!
Great job, LEGO!

I have been building a long time and never written a review, but this model won my heart and mind. I really only enjoy building the large pieces that Lego offers as I don't play with them. I simply enjoy the destressing effect of quiet build time, my job offers plenty of stress.
I enjoyed every aspect of this build. There were building techniques used on this model that I have not seen and I am left in awe as to how a creator even came up with some of these techniques. The angles created and the end product flow of the model is exceptional. As it should be, this is an Italian piece of art.
I have built the other large scale vehicles (Porsche, Bugati and Lamborghini) and this one stands above those in both build and final product appearance in my humble opinion...although the Porsche is a very close 2nd.
Thank you LEGO for continuing to push the envelope on creativity and challenging builds for us that enjoy the down time and beautiful display pieces upon completion.

Fantastic Build. Gorgeous Model
on June 19, 2022
Posted by: Anonymous
As an avid Lego builder, I personally own all four of Lego's large-scale Technic cars. Of the four, this is by far the best-looking of them all. The building techniques and the styling of the car are absolutely incredible. It was a fun build and I would gladly do it again. I would recommend this to anybody looking for an enjoyable build and a great display piece.
There were a few minor errors in the instructions but nothing that couldn't be fixed easily.

I love the styling of the new Lego Ferrari Daytona SP3. Some clever build techniques to approximate the curves. Several new pieces, including a new differential box.

Beautiful model but incredibly fragile
on September 1, 2022
Posted by: vrch
Looks terrific as a display piece, but it's incredibly fragile compared to previous models. I have all 4 1:8 models - Porsche, Bugatti and Lamborghini can be easily picked up with one hand by the roof or really any element you fancy, Ferrari however falls apart as soon as you grab it in the wrong spot. The packaging feels premium, I would appreciate fewer plastic bags in the future. Instructions have multiple mistakes, which somehow were completely missed by Lego QA. One of the steps is completely missing (black diffuser parts). You can even see exposed red elements in the promotional photos, which is bizzare to me, considering that all they had to do was to ask Uwe Wabra to review those photos prior to the publication.

Response from LEGOBy Alina, LEGO® Customer Service, September 1, 2022
We always test and retest our toys to make sure they’ll hold up to play when they’re built exactly as shown in the instructions. Sometimes it could be a piece is just a little off from where it should be. Give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV and we'll give you a hand troubleshooting the build. It would also be very helpful if you could point out the multiple mistakes in the building instructions so that we can pass them on to the right team.

Best Supercar build yet
on May 3, 2023
Posted by: Let’s Go
I have built all four Lego super cars.
Pro: The display result is outstanding. It amazes me how the designer achieve body curve with Lego pieces. The best part is no stickers!!!
Con: The instruction has errors and Lego has known about them for awhile now and yet, it is still not fixed. This is unacceptable to me per Lego / Ferrari standard. It's hilarious they call it "The Sense of Perfection". Come on Lego!
Overall it is a step forward for display model due to body curves. It is also a step backward for functions. What happened to door opening and tail funcation???
I would recommend this to a friend!
