My son wanted this for his 10th birthday. Had to shop around a bit to get the best price. Quite an expensive bit of kit but great all the same. he spent most of the day building it and although its meant for slightly older kids, he had no problems working out what went where. Cool engine that has moving pistons and a couple of motorized parts such as doors and boot. The only problem (as we had with the jet fighter) is that he does'nt want to break it down to build the alternate car. Another slight gripe is that you need to download the alternate instructions from the net. At this price (and it was'nt cheap) i would have expected them to include the alternate instructions.

He loves it though and plays with it a lot. He wants me to buy him another so he can build the other retro looking car - i wonder how many other kids are saying the same to their parents - nice marketing there Mr. Lego!!!! All in all i'd say its a great educational as well as fun building toy. He now wants the bigger ones that Lego has just brought out - maybe i'll win the lottery this week!

It took my 8 year old son 8 hours to build the Lego Technic Supercar...all by himself except for one minute of adult help! Having read the previous reviews I thought it would take weeks and weeks with either me or my husband sitting scratching our heads trying to help him. He loved putting it together and was so proud of himself! It's definitely worth the money for the challenge of building it and subsequent hours of entertainment.

this is an excellent product, which, as with all lego products, comes with a superb set of step by step instructions. my 9 yr old lad put it together by himself but he is an experienced lego builder. I would expect most 9-10 yr olds with lego in their blood would be able to assemble this, although attention to detail is the key.

Gift for my 12 year old brother who is thoroughly enjoying building this car completely independently!! Keeps him busy!! He has not finished it yet, so cannot comment on the outcome. Does seem daunting at first with so many small parts but must come with clear instructions if he is able to work through it without my help.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best, so far., 30 May 2012

My son wanted this for his 11th Birthday and like a good dad who loves nothing more than helping him build lego, i obliged, his eyes lit up with joyt when he opened it and getting it from amazon at £70 made it even more worth while as everywhere else had it at £100, we got down to building it and even as a 36 year old man myself, i enjoyed every second of helping him build it, the gull wing doors, bonet and rear spoiler all move with a moterised action and it looks really cool, it doesnt move on its own but neither does it suggest on the box that it does, its a whole lot of toy once built with a V8 engine with moving parts and a steering mechanism on the top, my son is the envy of all his lego loving friends!

It looks like it will move. The transmission is all there- but it doesn't move! I'm not a mechanic but even I can see that it would take ONE slight alteration to ONE cog and it WOULD move. But, not sure if I mentioned this, it doesn't move. What were they thinking? Looks great BUT IT DOESN'T MOVE. Needs big sign on box 'To avoid disappointing 9 year old son you should be aware that, although this could easily move, we have decided to make it NOT move'. AAAAARGH!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good for adult fans, 27 Mar 2012

This may be a good toy for children but not interesting for adults. I have played with legendary Lego super cars like 8880.

Positives

Large size
Suspension
Opening doors and bonnet - operated via motors
Engine

Negatives

No transmission or gearbox!
Power function does not move the car!

It is a shame that since 2001, Lego did not provide working gearbox in any Technic cars.
