Amazingly Pleasing

I loved my Koenigsegg Jesko. I am a car fanatic and the moment I saw this in the store at a discount, I immediately purchased it. I can't lie, building the doors was a challenge. But overall, I would recommend this. I love it, especially with the way the turning mechanic was designed. Get it!

This was my first foray into Technic and it was pretty good. It’s definitely a different experience than regular Lego. There are next to no regular bricks and you REALLY have to pay attention because backtracking moves is next to impossible. One thing I like is I’ve gotten to the point where I’m building so fast it feels hard to get my money’s worth and Technic is hard to build fast so he fun lasts longer. It took me about six hours to build this and I built R2D2 in half that time and it had a higher brick count. My only gripe is the steering isn’t working well and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I’m not sure if I will buy more Technic in the future but I would definitely recommend this to someone who wants to give it a shot.

It’s never fun when things don’t work the way they should. Make sure each part is positioned exactly as shown in the instructions and that everything is pressed together firmly (except the gears, which need a bit of space to turn). If you’d like a hand troubleshooting the build, feel free to reach out at LEGO.build/Service‑BV, we’re happy to help!

Least Favorite Build
on January 4, 2026
Posted by: OzziesDogDad
Name the set and I have probably built it. I know the technic set are a ton of gears (and internal guts), I have built many of the formula one cars. This was just boring from beginning to end. Once it was finished, it was flimsy. It was my least favorite build ever. Unless you MUST do these car builds and have no other options, avoid this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Enjoyable for all skill levels
on December 2, 2025
Posted by: PrettyLobster00
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent - Not as satisfying
on November 10, 2025
Posted by: MisterRich
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.
