Recommendation: meh 4.8 / 5 from 54 reviews

This is my first lego set ever. Fairly easy to assemble(some pieces are tough to get together) and fun to build. The instructions are clear and easy to understand which is a huge help when building something like this. Overall I had a good experience with this set and can't wait to but another one.

Recommendation: no 7 / 10 by VBBN

When I went to rate this set, I decided to first compare it with the ZR1 and the ratings Jim had given when it was first reviewed. Overall, I found myself rating this set lower in most categories, dropping it's score by an average of .9. I think this is a fair rating; When I look at these technic cars, I expect that each time a new one is released, that we will see improvement. In the 1:8 scale range, the Chrion and Sian massively improve upon the rough GT3 RS. When I look at this set compared to the ZR1, I see 251 more parts, but less functionality.

Recommendation: meh by TobyMac

I enjoyed the build. It felt better than the 42122-1 Jeep Wrangler I built previous for a review. The model looks very good, and judging by photos of the real life model, it's a good representation for this scale. So on that front, it gets a pass. But, there is another side to the set. This set still is a Technic set. And for 830 parts, we get very little Technic. There is steering, a fake engine, and the doors open. And that is just not enough for me.

Recommendation: meh by Alexander

All in all, the new LEGO Technic 42123 McLaren Senna GTR, by all means, is nowhere near the perfect LEGO Technic vehicle of the scale. It has a bunch of drawbacks, although most of them don't make it less playable or less displayable. What is important is that the new McLaren Senna shows amazing improvement over 42093 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, which belongs to the same category of models. And most of the improvements promise the theme's very bright future.

Recommendation: meh by Huw

I seemed to have complained about it quite a lot but actually I do like it. It is too narrow, but when viewing from most angles that is not an issue, and it's a pretty good rendition of the car given the size and Technic part constraints. I also appreciate the smaller scale: big is not always better, particularly when it comes to trying to display a large collection! This one will fit just about anywhere.

Recommendation: meh by Tim Johnson

There's a lot of potential on display. The parts are useful, the new mould fills an essential gap in the Technic panel part family, and the whole rear half of the completed model is beautiful. Unfortunately the printing and the bungled front section hit the set right where it hurts the most.

Recommendation: meh by Jetro de Château

In the end it all depends on how you look at the model, If you are looking for a great looking display model, the McLaren is the better option. If you want a cool car that you can rebuild into a number of other cool models, the Chevrolet is your car.

Recommendation: meh by Dimitri

While it's not as complex as other Technic sets, and the play features are admittedly somewhat lacking (the working engine, movable steering and opening doors is all there is), it's still such an enjoyable thing to put together that those foibles are quickly overlooked.
