I usually leave off a star for the Lego price but this GT40 is by far one of my favorite technic cars. And yes, I still think it is overpriced especially when you consider the alternative brands but this car is just so well modeled with the technic parts. This one has a working V8 engine (unfortunately only driven by one wheel, no differential), working doors, steering, working frunk (with an interior frunk latch) and a working rear engine cover.

I've always been a fan of the Lego Technic car models, but this Ford GT40 MKII classic racer is my new favorite. This is a great set, and Lego has been putting out a lot of awesome new Technic car sets recently, keep them coming!

This kit was a blast to put together with my son. It features some unique pieces and construction methods. Although I may be slightly biased because it's one of my favorite cars.

I'm very excited about this technic car set. Can't wait to complete the building process so I can set the outcome. This purchase was a little on the expensive side. As a collector I'm very well pleased.

Watched Ford Vs Ferrari while building this to soon learn this Was McLaren's during Le Mans. The same McLaren who started the McLaren F1 car company. Love this build. Thought it was awesome BUT I am begging for the number 2 car as well. The one Ken Miles drove. Would love to see them next to each other in my case.

Got this for my boyfriends birthday he loves it

little overpriced, but thats lego

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed building this set. It took me about 3 or 4 hours to build and contained 6 bags of legos. There is a section about the car in the beginning that was interesting to read, though my instruction book was a bit ripped on the edges of the early pages. The instructions were pretty clear and easy to follow, though I did miss a step near the end and had to redo a small portion. The front hood, back of the car, and the doors open, and there is a mechanism to move the wheels so the car can be steered and moved around. There is a lot of detail that went into the chassis system and the appearance that I appreciate - the headlights being pieces and not stickers are a nice detail. Based on pictures, it looks pretty accurate (within the capabilities of LEGO and without using custom parts) to the real car, though I am not a collector or an expert on cars. It was bigger than I expected (not sure why I thought it would be smaller) but looks really nice displayed on a desk or shelf. And it looks like it would be fun to play with even if you aren't a collector.

I really enjoyed building this set, the headlights look better in person, the whole shape its very close to original car. Love the working engine looks amazing. I would have also wanted the real winner Ken Miles number 1 car, but ultimately it does have a big fundamental flaw and that's that it does not have a differential. The 1 wheel drive aspect of this kit really removes me from the immersion of the build. I hope Lego stops doing this 1 wheel drive builds. Make a smaller diff or something it really breaks away from the realism of the build. Specially for a set $10-$15 more expensive than the others in this class for some reason.

This kit contains NO windshield, rear or side windows. It looks very unfinished. Rims do not have the knock offs. And the roof has a gear on top of it to steer the front tires. You can of course leave the gear off and regain some of the original looks of the car. Aside from the hole it leaves. The box art and instructions show the rims on backwards. This kit isn't for the hardcore GT 40 fan.
