LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS 42056

I would rather describe it as an artwork. Really impressive by the curve outside and the gears and engine inside. But something need to be mentioned is that the PDK gearbox sequence is wrong. Also, the double engagement of PDK occurs frequently which can totally stop the gears from functioning. It's a disappointing flaw. If you want to own this model and have a better functional chasis, you may need to search for some fan-made improvement (e.g., on Eurobricks forum). Thankfully we have talented designer in LEGO group AND talented fans all over the world. Together we may see more extrodinary models.

My son is 13. This set released when he was 4. This is a holy grail for him. Please bring this back into stock. The smaller version out now just can't compare to the original.

I have been building Technic sets fro almost 40 years, starting with 851 in the late 70s. This has to be the most enjoyable build in that time. The detail in the set is fantastic and I love the way everything works together. The experience starts as soon as you open the box. The premium packaging really sets the tone for this set being "special" and that continues through the build experience. The book is really nice too, although sometimes you do wonder if some of the steps could've been condensed. The build of box 1, the chassis, is really complex but produces an excellent basis to build the remainder of the car. I did implement one or two mods to reduce friction in the gear train and swap the change sequence back to being 1-2-3-4. This has led to a really sweet running drivetrain. The paddle shifters are a really nice touch and lend a certain authenticity. Yes it is a shame that a lot of the workings are covered up, but as this was mainly for me I am not that fussed by that. Boxes 2-4 build the body onto the chassis, these are much more straightforward, but still demonstrate some interesting building techniques. Overall, really impressed by the model. Loved building it and I will utilise some of the techniques on my own models. Worth the wait.

A fantastic model, looks great and attention to detail rivals the real car. The design and engineering mimics the real car as it goes down the production line and was a pleasure to build and now sits in the pride of place in my LEGO display. The unique VIN number just adds that final little touch.

This set is a real masterpiece! I thought the pictures of the model looked amazing and anxiously waited until the set became available, and quickly bought one. But after assembling the Porsche, it is just awesome! I can’t stop looking at it. It’s huge and looks exactly like the real car. I love the orange and black color scheme, and the new wheels with the brake calipers look sooo cool!! In terms of the resemblance to the real vehicle and the amount of detail it has both the interior and exterior, this set takes Technic to a whole new level, and it is clearly an ultimate model! The build is quite challenging, and extremely interesting. The engine, drivetrain and transmission have so many new details that I feel like I have never assembled one of these before. The new paddle gear system is brilliant and probably the most interesting part of the build. Even though I have built many of the recent Technic models (42009, 42030, 42039, and 42043). This build was so new and unique. I love the incredibly realistic features including the D-N-R gear stick (which I always wanted), and the paddle shift gears. The functions all work very smoothly and it is a very sturdy, which is surprising being that it is so large and heavy. I love rolling the car and hearing the difference in the faster or slower rotation of the engine and drivetrain depending on which gear it is on. And when rolling the car in neutral, it is very quiet. The dashboard and seats look so realistic, and the steering wheel has a realistic sensation when steering. The steering wheel has some resistance like a real car and it can be turned up to 90 degrees, so it has a more realistic feel than the HOG steering system. I like how they made a double suspension in the rear which slightly elevates the rear of the car, and it slants like the real GT3 RS. The paddle shifts work well, but you need to pull all the way to ensure that the gears have properly switched. One thing I wish Lego would improve on, is how much the front wheels can turn. It seems limited, due to the extra width of the tires. All in all, this model is just incredible. I look forward to any new sets Lego will produce in this new Technic series. I hope they include some variety and make a jeep or something similar and not just more race cars.

My last Lego model I played was on the years 1985-1987. Once I saw this model on youtube.com – I said to myself I MUST HAVE IT! I think that the BOX is very impressing. The book is thick, and the build instruction are understandable maybe one or two stages are not very clear. It’s a great fun to build this model. I like the stages of construction. 1. Basic chassis stage – you can see all the car from the base line 2. The second part of the chassis that wears over the first 3. Covering the car with the orange plastic parts - the car gets the final shape. 4. additional small details to finish + wheels. Focus on details, makes this very fun to build. I took my time to build it, with my 6th year kid every day or too for 2H at a time. In this way I could prolong the build and quality time with my son. Once we finished, it was amazing. The gear is hard to switch, but overall, I think Lego did a good job. I’m writing this review after I build the Bugatti as well. And I must say that this is my favorite model. sure, the newest one has mor parts and details. but I feel that in this model there was a greater investment. I have many issues with the Bugatti model that maybe we will be review in its page. Great model. My next one will be the Land Rover , this is the Sports car for all times.

I really enjoyed building it. All the gears and moving parts and stuff. To bad LEGO moved to a different scale, I have all the other super cars (including the 2 Ferrari racers, not officially supercars ) .Now this one does not really go with it. I think there is also to many panels used, that is for and old guy like me not really LEGO anymore, we can also use some imagination. All the panels cover everything up to much. I saw some comments in the reviews about the headlights, I think if you turn the complete clear piece assemble around it looks better and less of a gap. 8880 still the best supercar. 8448 also very nice lots of detail not to many panel pieces and also some studded technic bricks.

This is a challenging build, and I enjoyed the build and the special packaging - the packaging is amazing in of itself and I don't want to throw it away. The build instruction book is also amazing and should be displayed with the model. However, there are features in this build that I'm sure someone spent a lot of time designing but have been buried. The double-clutch, trigger-controlled transmission and the entire working drivetrain end up completely concealed. The build should have included one or more electric motors, a battery pack and an IR controller like I've seen on YouTube so that the builder can show off the complex drivetrain and drive the model around. I'll go buy the additional parts so that I can show off the model's hidden features. I'm also a bit turned off by the "gappy" body design. It's as if the chassis out-grew the Lego body design, leading to unsightly gaps all over. There are holes outboard of the tail lights that should have been covered or filled. I have all three 10th scale Ferraris, and their Lego body designs are more continuous and attractive than this model.

If I could give zero stars I would! The item in the listing was LEGO. Everything in the description on the WALMART website I ordered through was legit LEGO. What I received was AN IMPOSTER ITEM! A very much fake, knock off, not LEGO set! Return is pending since I paid the fill $365 LEGO price. Hopefully Walmart rectifies the situation. 100% fraud

Attempted to order two of these. Was fully expecting to get quality LEGO brand items as the listing describes. But instead send two knock off, used counterfeit versions. DO NOT ORDER!!!!!!!
