I'd still really adore a video where you show off the whole collection, because as far as I know you're one of very few people who owns all of them.

Crazy how LEGO have now been able to commit to printing all the way down to the bottom of that windscreen part, like people were asking for... but now to the point where they've done it where it isn't necessary as well

[blaximperia]

I agree, that rear is fantastic. The front though, especially those gaps, I can’t say the same.

[emeraldstudioproductions]

This is why I like videos like this. I would have never known of these inaccuracies.

[ajjothikumar]

After seeing the Gwagon, I'd like to see more trucks and SUVs ...and even a propper Jeep... from the Speed Champions line in the future. I'm surprised that I haven't seen enough people asking for this.

I also just built this set today and share the same views. Four simple mods though make a world of difference. Add trans-black 1x1 cheese slopes (on black 1x1 down brackets) to fill in the headlights, replace the 2x6 rear wing with a 1x6 version (using 1x2 wedge slopes to correct the side pillars), remove the red lower side printing from the windscreen, and replace the minifig with a proper Ferrari race driver.

Lego has a lot of ways to create side mirrors but this one has to be the best

[stuchly]

I agree. The headlights look iffy, but the side windows look super super not good. The whole side of the canopy piece should have been clear.
The literal air intake is silly too, and not in a good way.
Too many things not good about this, and I'm highly biased in favor of the source material too.
Edit:
Necessitating a hands up pose for the minifig is silly as well.
Looking forward to your customization of this though!

After seeing a few vids, at first I was disappointed with the holes in the front for the lights, and the vents on the sides. But after building it, I’m still impressed. It helps to keep expectations low. Haha

[Mikae]

I think the windshield piece is really holding back some of these Speedchampion models these days. Was great for awhile, but it's an issue now.

[newwavejunkie]

I’m not a car guy but I’ve been falling more and more in love with Speed Champions sets. Not sure I’ll pick up this one. Maybe when it’s discounted. I do hope you’ll show us the mods you end up doing.

[RcNBeyond]

I think the high window print might be to hide the waving hand.. ?

[kibavee]

I admit I'm unfamiliar with the source material for this set, so I really really appreciate you bringing in the other models to help with the review!

[Benjamin]

It is odd how the window was done. It doesn't bother me as much, but yeah, I'm not sure why LEGO did it that way.

I am interested in this F-40 model, though. I think it will complement the Countach well.

[marcch]

Thanks for your comments on this set, Jang. I am looking forward to seeing your customised version

[tmlmagee]

I feel like if you flip the wing upside down and add a 2x4 in red it would look a lot better, a bit chunky but better

[ULSWC]

curious to see what you'll come up with for mods for this!

[Alventador]

Been waiting on this one, thank you Jangathan

[ralfsstuff]

The headlights really are what kills this one for me.
Out of all of the new sets, the Grey technic Koenigsegg is probably the only set I'm getting.

[klausm]

That was exactly my impression. I don´t mind the lack of headlight covers that much, but I was really irritated by the high waistline with the printed side windows. To me the most important aspect of car aesthetics are the proportions. The new model has made progress with the overall silhouette, the wheelbase, relation between length and width, but the glasshouse is just wrong. It´s a shame especially as they made progress with the quality and color matching of the printed windshield. The right window partition would have solved it almost completely.
