Recommendation: meh 9 / 10 by The LEGO Car Blog Team

If you compare this to more modern sets, like 42056 or 42039, it becomes instantly clear that you're getting a lot in this set in terms of functions and looks. It may or may not be the best LEGO supercar ever released, but it's indisputable that you're getting a pretty sweet deal when you factor in the price. Maybe LEGO put a few too many holes in the aesthetics, maybe the rear could have been better executed, but overall I don't have a lot of complaints on this one.

Hard to find but was exactly what I was looking for. This was a gift and the recipient was thrilled and shocked to see I had been able to find it. Packaged well and arrived quickly.

There's no doubt that I have to recommend this model. It easily holds its own amongst the older cars, losing out only because it does not yet trigger any nostalgia. At the USA price, it is a great deal even for parts. Buy it.
