This was fairly enjoyable for me, an advanced builder, to build while my brother, someone who rarely does Lego and built the white one, also enjoyed. I will say I felt liked a paid a bit much for a lego kit that is identical to all the other technic cars except for the color and some design features. I'm not one to trash people's designs, but this is my third technic car and I'm already a bit sick of the repetitive nature of the builds. It's still enjoyable and looks very nice with the others though.
After building nearly every of the Technic vehicles, I've been reserved on purchasing the Koenigsegg, partly due to the fact it was discounted at nearly every retailer which is a sign of poor sale. I could attribute this to every kid growing up with a Lamborghini Countach poster on their wall versus nobody knowing how to properly pronounce Koenigsegg. The build quality was poor for this set. The doors don't sit flat, and feel as though they have resistance against them, even though I bit the bullet and deconstructed the set because I surely thought I did something wrong. The boot (trunk) is extremely flimsy when open, and feels as though it's missing pieces to prevent it from "swaying". All in all, it's decent if the idea is build and display; but if you're looking for some of those unique build qualities found in other sets, you will not find them here.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear you're having issues with the trunk and doors of your Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Grey Hypercar. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, we'd be happy to lend a hand! Give us a call or chat at LEGO.build/Service-BV.
Was challenging and fun to build, however that is where the enjoyment ended. Some features didn't work and parts kept falling off from weak clutch power. Only would recommend to put on shelf and never move.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we're sorry the set design didn't quite hit the mark! We'll pass along your feedback to our designers to help with future sets.
Was intrigued by the design of the doors until I actually had it to that point in the build. The doors don't close and stick up. I tried shifting them slightly but nothing corrected it. When one was closed enough to look good the other popped open. That was as far as I got. Disgusted I put it, as is, back in the box with whatever pieces were left over and tapped it shut. I doubt I will ever open it again.

We're sorry to hear that this hypercar model didn't go as planned. If you're willing to give it another shot, please reach out to our expert builders at LEGO.build/Service-BV for help with troubleshooting. We want you to display it with pride!
The build is extremely loose, the whole car wobbles because of the whole top being on one frame and don't stay in position, the doors dont even close. Multiple places in the build felt like it was going to falling apart. I did the Flying Machine yesterday and it was a much more enjoyable build.
