May 20, 20186 yr Car...not sure. The visible parts will probably be black/grey anyway. And we kinda know that it will be blue. Still hoping for black and blue, but rumors tell duo tone blue.
May 20, 20186 yr The photo has certainly been posted in black and white to hide the blue. Ā Disc brakes indeed, wow! Please don't be awesome...please don't be awesome... $400 is my LEGO budget for an entire year and then some but I'm very excited for thisĀ

May 20, 20186 yr Most likely, it's duo-tone blue, which perfectly matches the color scheme of the boat to go along with your nice carĀ Something else I foundĀ Sorry for my semi-offtopic images. The van did put a smile on my face.

May 20, 20186 yr I doubt the disc brakes will work. They are way better than the ones on the Porsche though. Maybe they are the reason for the pins in the wheels?Ā

It's probably going to be a new gear, as it is RIGHT next to the driving ring. Or maybe the same gear, just in a different colour. The Porsche had a clutch gear actually, in case of the stalling gearbox.

May 20, 20186 yr What's interesting is the rather small wheel arch, from the few piecescwe see so far.Ā Seems like a good sign, I hope I'm right.
May 20, 20186 yr I personally think the image has been intentionally grey-scaled by TLG so as to keep us in suspense for another week.Ā
May 20, 20186 yr Author I finally understood :) , pins on rims are just for better look, so that they are not visible in the middle of rim ...
May 20, 20186 yr For me, there are two things that are basically deciding factors in terms of this set's quality. Authenticity to the original model (4 wheel drive, W16 engine, aesthetics, etc) and the functionality of the gearbox (PLEASE don't repeat 42056!) Everything else, no matter how it turns out, I can live with.
May 20, 20186 yr I don't recognise the parts used for the disk or the caliper, so I guess they are new parts. If they went though the trouble if making those, is it possible that they are functional?! Ah ah ah wait, must not raise expectations to crazy high levels like I did for the Porsche, just regular highĀ

May 20, 20186 yr Depends on what you would consider "functional". Of course theyĀ can't actually "brake" the car but there's a possibility of the brake calipers moving. With the same scale and almost 900 more pieces, it is safe to assume that the functions are going to be more densely packed, which is a plus.Ā Also, if the colour scheme of the car is the default, the calipers should be blue :P Nevertheless, I am pleasantly surprised with the new brake pieces.
May 20, 20186 yr 5 minutes ago, Timoonn said: calipersĀ are not guaranteed. Their inclusion or their functionality? I can clearly see calipers in the pictureĀ so if they aren't included in the set itself, that would make me angry. Their functionality is obviously speculation.
May 20, 20186 yr I believe that calipers are made of these pieces: Ā Or something close to it, this way it can get around the disk (presumably 5 modules in diameter) and fit into the rim. Connection on the other side is a mistery in this case, but I'm sure it's possible. Edited May 20, 20186 yr by ibessonov spelling
