AlphaX Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 This is so sexy: https://twitter.com/...==&refsrc=email I really hope the Lego model is also build in such modules, would be really cool.
nicjasno Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 If all the pics i've seen so far are any indication, the chasis won't be anything special.
AlphaX Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) If all the pics i've seen so far are any indication, the chasis won't be anything special. yeah i guessed that too :/ I may build the model one time following their instructions, and then rebuild it in a module way so that the mechanics are build around the chassis and not completely integrated. I think that if they do it that way, it could make the building process more interesting as it could give the "user" some glimps as to how the real car is built up. Edited February 10, 2016 by AlphaX
Lyichir Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Another benefit to the "camo" stickers is that it makes that much harder for clone brands or knockoffs to come up with a lookalike, particularly if the actual set will appear in a color that's fairly unprecedented in Technic. If the actual car was going to be, say, purple, and it was shown at that early Toy Fair, you might end up seeing a clone brand coming up with a similarly sized and colored car—not necessarily a Porsche, but similar enough that a parent could choose it over the official Lego one if they had to choose based on price. Of course, they could have done the same without the stickers (just leaving it black and mentioning that the color was subject to change), but the stickers send a clear message that look, the final model is going to be a completely different color—don't get too attached to this one.
Cumulonimbus Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Didn't someone say that it will be only aviable trough their own shop site? So it makes sense to not include it in a retailer catalouge. I really hope this will not be the case as exclusivity would only drive up the price even more. Luckily, some of the online stores already list the 42056 but without pictures or price. (Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to a store to show as an example)
NevynPA Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Correct, but what if the set is meant to be a test car? that would be an interesting concept, and there could be some parts to make adjustments. This is exactly what I've been trying to say as well as hoping for!
deehtha Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 yeah i guessed that too :/ I may build the model one time following their instructions, and then rebuild it in a module way so that the mechanics are build around the chassis and not completely integrated. I think that if they do it that way, it could make the building process more interesting as it could give the "user" some glimps as to how the real car is built up. 8448 was built in modules. It was even designed so that the engine could be place in front or rear without any modification.
Zerobricks Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 The motor in the rear sure looks birck built on the last picture...
deehtha Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like there is an antiroll bar across the top of the suspension.
tibivi Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like there is an antiroll bar across the top of the suspension. It does look that way, indeed
Zerobricks Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) There is no anti-roll bar, the top beam holds the front suepnsion and most of the car's front weight, since the suspension system is identical to the 24 hour race car. Very hard but only 1 stud of travel. Edited February 10, 2016 by Zblj
Lipko Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @deetha: nope, the suspension will be similar to 42039, so the top A-arm is pivoted in its middle (what you saw as the anti-roll bar).
Emmi Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Hm ... where are these high-quality pictures are coming from all of a sudden? Do we have one from the engine???

Zerobricks Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I dont understand why they put the steering links in front of the suspension... This way you have a reverse ackermann effect and toe out on the wheels because steering links are longer than suspension arms... And no FWD, even though there is plenty of room...

No FWD since the real car doesn't have it. Also: Wow they sure didn't save on parts for the front hood structure. Edited February 10, 2016 by AlphaX
Emmi Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Again, we can expect this set to feature everything the real-life Porsche 911 GT3 RS does have. Also, can we expect something new about this set during New York Toy Fair this weekend? Would be great but at least I want a HQ shot of the engine ... hopefully someone will take one.

jura93 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 This is so sexy: https://twitter.com/...==&refsrc=email This is a Porsche Carrera GT carbon monocoque, not 911.
JGW3000 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Its has PF , in the image showing whats under the front hood, you can see a two-lead black wire, on the right side, coming out from behind the two black bent beams On closer look, just a weird reflection Edited February 10, 2016 by JGW3000
nicjasno Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 What i see is a SLA suspension. Which is actually nice. The upper wishbone pivots on the black liftarm and acts on the spring. The top of the red spring seems to be attached only to the wishbone.

Probably because that's how the steering is on the real car.
bob st-claire Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 more I am looking at it, better the pictures get, more doubts I have. At front, there are quite a big gaps between panels. MOC 911 (I dunno who built it) that was presented here was more shaped. I am afraid, black is chosen for presentation to cover this. Suspension looks to me exactly the same as 24H race car which costs fraction of the price. Rumours about RC are gone, it seems no powerfunction. Where is 300Eur in it?
nicjasno Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I'm pretty sure the setup is like this: Which makes me puke, because this means there will be bump steer (though not much because of the very limited suspension travel and of course again no realistic suspension geometry at all. In such a car, this is a big shame. And of course the real porsche has macpherson suspension not double wishbone suspension.
