I’m super excited about the new panels!

Both the Mustang and the Porsche have an "AR" logo at the lower left corner of the box, so it seems you will get some Augmented Reality app to play with. Good move, Lego, make them kids play with their smartphones even more

Like the Zetros? What would it even show in a set that simple?

[howitzer]

These new panels look exactly what I've been wanting for a while. Now, give me those in other colours (nothing wrong with black, but more is more).

The front wheel arches indeed look quite ugly, the Technic beam holes just break the inner side completely, while the outer side isn't that great either.

There's already been so much bashing bout bringing Lego to smartphones... Imho this is a wonderful way to integrate Lego into today's kids life and to encourage them to do something more creative with their smartphones than just watching let's play videos on YT.
I really like the way Lego is going these days.

Dont worry, rumours says that in March (still H1) we will get $10 Telehandler, $75 6x6 Quadbike, $130 Control+, $180 F1 Car, and maybe a $30 John Deere tractor.

Part list leaked.

This part in white! Looking closely I can see it’s used behind the front wheels. 
 

Hoping we get this in black sooner rather than later... 

[Dami]

I hoped it will have at least one gear for locking mechanism. But sadly it isnt. Im happy about the Flip-Flop Beams and a lot of parts in new colors.

There's a biscuit 3x3 piece in DBG

They were already available in DBG from this City set: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=76174-1#T=S&O={"iconly":0}

Can comeone see if the new panel's surface holes are 5 studs apart? (same as the seat panel) That would be ideal.

There seems to be another new piece, shown at 7:30 in the above video, a new axle connector it seems.

This is an already existing connector 24122.

Ah, sorry. Wasn't aware of that part. Ah, the sides are bar holders. Interesting piece, but I guess it's not used in technic builds too much

[Kostq]

It is used in 42120 as the deck railing holder /in the back/.

And 5x2x1 Panel extension in black color!

Yes! I wonder if the axle holes will actually line up with these ones!

Here's my review of the set with a sneak peek at the AR app and the obligatory car transporter test:

 

[astyanax]

@kbalage You remark that the new panel fairings are numbered 60 and 61, while nothing previously existed above 30. But if you look on the underside of 67142 and 68196 you'll see they're numbered 50 and 51, respectively.

They probably came up with 60+ different panel designs over the years and they are releasing them where they are justified.

I wonder what it would be like to design a  car with those 60+ panel designs at your disposal!

I stand corrected  I checked "panel fairings" on rebrickable and since these are only called panels they did not show up in the list, honestly I did not even think about them. But not all panels are numbered so there's no consistent way to look up all of these...
