mpj Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Good point! But look around the wheel you see some technic beams Quote
Jim Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 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. Quote
therealjustin Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 The photo has certainly been posted in black and white to hide the blue. 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 this Quote

Stephan Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 It looks a bit high on the front, doesn't it? Compared to the roof. Quote
Jim Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Most likely, it's duo-tone blue, which perfectly matches the color scheme of the boat to go along with your nice car Something else I found Sorry for my semi-offtopic images. The van did put a smile on my face. Quote

LvdH Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 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? Quote

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. Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Actually looks like the logo on the hub reads "EB". Eurobricks? Quote

I'm guessing you're just making a joke, but in case someone doesn't get it, that EB logo is the company logo to honor the founder Ettore Bugatti. Quote
Erik Leppen Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 What's interesting is the rather small wheel arch, from the few piecescwe see so far. Seems like a good sign, I hope I'm right. Quote
JTS Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 I personally think the image has been intentionally grey-scaled by TLG so as to keep us in suspense for another week. Quote
Jurss Posted May 20, 2018 Author Posted May 20, 2018 I finally understood :) , pins on rims are just for better look, so that they are not visible in the middle of rim ... Quote
Skiing Biology God Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 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. Quote
allanp Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 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 high Quote

Skiing Biology God Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Depends on what you would consider "functional". Of course they 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. 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. Quote

I can clearly see calipers in the picture so if they aren't included in the set itself, that would make me angry. Their functionality is obviously speculation. Quote
ibessonov Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) I believe that calipers are made of these pieces: 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, 2018 by ibessonov spelling Quote
