Zoom in

Results after 2 weeks of non-stop experimentation. Still in development.

About this creation

Haven't touched Lego Technic in over 4 years so I decided to rip down all existing models, clean all parts, and try something new with it.

I was initially hoping I could complete a working model in under a week, but ended up taking 2 weeks literally non-stop just to get the chassis built. The frame has yet to take shape but I'll get back to it when I have time, and when my right thumb recovers due to so much pressure.

So far, I'm not totally satisfied with the chassis design - seats too high due to awkward (but very functional) gearbox design, body too long and heavy; but I'll see what I can do with it. May need to do further chassis alterations.

On the bright side, here are some new and improved features/functions:

Ackerman front+rear steering

More realistic gear stick movement (5+R)

Gearbox behind seats

Flat 12 engine

Larger seats

Chassis in development:

Final chassis design:

Quoting Mortalswordsman . This is looking good so far. technic mocs are extremely difficult and take ages. I really like the seats and suspension. Cant wait for the 'final' version. I hadn't played with technic for about 10 years before making a Bugatti Veyron i would love to hear your comments on it. its not as technical as yours

Hey thanks for the first comment there haha. The seats are mostly made up from an LT Star Wars Stormtrooper set as well as the 8448 though if only I could get more white pieces I can make them better. Just took a look at your Bugatti Veyron model it's looking good for a smaller technic supercar model. Imagine what we could do with more pieces!
