January 1, 20232 yr To be onest, using new 2x5 to 2x3 corner panels in transclear for the headlights is a very neat idea.

It is Ford GT 2022 which is significantly different from the original one from 1964 ("Ford vs Ferrari" movie). The Lego set is not Ford GT'64 at all, for sure... Interesting, while I hate the new GT from 2022 (only '64 exists for me), I like this model!
January 1, 20232 yr Apparently grohl designed this set. He did a great job one it! Edited January 1, 20232 yr by dhc6twinotter
January 1, 20232 yr I like it as a set, but from the front it doesn’t really look like a Ford GT to me. Looks more like a Maserati MC12
January 1, 20232 yr So, I've been carefully spying on this set and ust look at the recolors and new parts!: New / returning recolors (inclusive of new parts): 1 x 1 x 1 Beam in dark blue {18654} [New] 1 x 2 x 3 Panel left in dark blue {2387} [New] 1 x 2 x 3 Panel right in dark blue {2389} [New] 1 x 2 x 3 Panel left in black {2387} [New] 1 x 2 x 3 Panel right in black {2389} 1 x 2 x 5 Panel left in dark blue {11947} (last seen in 2021) 1 x 2 x 5 Panel right in dark blue {11946} (last seen in 2021) 1 x 3 x 5 Parralelegram panel left in dark blue {80267} 1 x 3 x 5 Parralelegram panel right in dark blue {80268} 2 x 3 x 5 Panel left in dark blue {87080} (last seen in 2018) 2 x 3 x 5 Panel right in dark blue {87086} (last seen in 2018) 2 x 3 x 11 Curved panel smooth in dark blue {62531} 1 x 1 x 2 Comma panel in dark blue {89679} 1 x 2 x 3 Comma panel in dark blue {71682} 1 x 2 x 5 Curved panel extension in dark blue {80286} 1 x 3 x 7 Panel in dark blue {71709} 2 x 3 x 7 Curved panel in dark blue {24119} 2 x 3 x 11 Panel left in dark blue {64681} (last seen in 2018) 2 x 3 x 11 Panel right in dark blue {64393} (last seen in 2018) [New] 2 x 5 x 11 Rear wheel arch in dark blue {TBA} [New] 2 x 5 x 11 Front wheel arch in dark blue {TBA} 1 x x x 2 Pin with pinhole in dark blue {15100} 1 x 1 x 2 Axle with pinhole in dark blue {22961} 1 x 3 x 3 Biscuit joint in dark blue {39793} [New] 2 x 3 x 5 Left corner panel in trans clear {TBA} [New] 2 x 3 x 5 Right corner panel in trans clear {TBA} 0.5 x 1 x 2 Beam in dark blue {41677} (last seen in 2004) 1 x 1 x 2 Beam with axle hole in dark blue {60483} (last seen in 2020) 0.5 x 1 x 3 Beam in dark blue {6632} (last seen in 2004) 1 x 1 x 3 Beam in dark blue {32523} (last seen in 2020) 1 x 2 x 4 Beam bent in dark blue {32140} (last seen in 2022) 0.5 x 1 x 5 Beam with axle holes in dark blue {11478} 1 x 1 x 5 Beam in dark blue {32316} (last seen in 2020) 1 x 3 x 5 Bent beam in dark blue {32526} (last seen in 2020) 1 x 1 x 7 Beam in dark blue {32524} (last seen in 2020) 1 x 4 x 6 Beam bent diagonally in dark blue {6629} (last seen in 2020) 1 x 1 x 9 Beam in dark blue {40490} 1 x 1 x 2 Connector 1x2 in dark blue {6536} (last seen in 2004) 1 x 2 x 2 Connector open centre in dark blue {69819} 1 x 1 x 3 Connector #5 in dark blue {32015} 1 x 1 x 3 Bionicle tooth in dark blue {41669} 1 x 1 x 6.5 Shock absorber extra hard in Black {731c07} Possible re-released colors / returning rare colors: 1 x 1 x 11 Beam in dark blue {32525} (last seen in 2022) 1 x 1 x 13 Beam in dark blue {41239} (last seen in 2018) 1 x 1 x 15 Beam in dark blue {32278} (last seen in 2018) 2 x 3 x 6 Left panel in dark blue {64683} 2 x 3 x 6 Right panel in dark blue {64391} Note that some of the above information may be inforrect, but from the images at hand it looks to be pretty much on the money Edited January 4, 20232 yr by SNIPE
January 1, 20232 yr I'm looking at a ford GT calendar on my wall. The wheels need to be nearer to the wheel arch and the spoiler needs to be higher, again its lacking the aggressive muscle car look. if I had the money I would buy it just to try improve it. H
January 1, 20232 yr Now just needs a Technic Jeremy Clarkson fig that barely fits, as he's known for his dark blue ford GT , and then someday have a Lambo Tractor set Edited January 1, 20232 yr by TeriXeri

It makes it easier to see the pistons move if the top of the blocks are covered or the engine is in a hard-to-see area. 16 minutes ago, TeriXeri said: Now just needs a Technic Jeremy Clarkson fig that barely fits, as he's known for his dark blue ford GT , and then someday have a Lambo Tractor set This makes me think, is this set roughly the same scale as the old Technic figures?

January 2, 20232 yr 12 hours ago, Jurss said: I rechecked, and it seems, that with these wheels width would be ~23L. Maybe counted wrong, or there finally is some axle with specific end, that can be connected to something, that goes in to differential? Also counted it several times, but always got 21 studs. I was counting by the front end of the car and also by it's spoiler... I wonder if they should rather use new parts for it or floating diff suspension.
January 2, 20232 yr Given that the description says 18cm width, that works out to 22.5 studs. So, 23 studs is probably the width. I count 21 studs wide as well. It looks like the mirrors extend out past the body another 1 stud on each side, 23 studs wide. Edited January 2, 20232 yr by deehtha Counted studs instead of just doing math.
January 2, 20232 yr And wheels also doesn't seem to be much out of wheelarches, or also suspension is not so much up, so that there could be one stud more. So, there is small hope :D

Are you guys saying that at this body width the suspension needs to be 15 studs wide, at which it would not be possible to build a driven independent suspension with current joints, only with a floating differential, which may not be the way to go in an official set so we are hoping for new CV joints that would allow for narrower suspension? :) I am really holding my breath for this, because I figured that the upcoming Audi may also need such a setup for its (hopefully driven) front independent suspension, which may also need to be 15 wide with buggy wheels..

Sort of, any single way to create this suspension with currently available parts is not in lego style. I am personally waiting for something like this: Also to be honest, I will be happy even without these parts, at least it should be interesting to build :)
January 2, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, NoEXIST said: I am personally waiting for something like this Exactly, that's what I am waiting for as well! Though it would be great to have a variant of this with the newer CV joint with a 2L axle on both the female and the male part (but this older one would be interesting and better than nothing as well, those Cada ones have 2.5L axles if I'm not mistaken).

January 2, 20232 yr 4 hours ago, NoEXIST said: Or TLG make 2L CV joint which has male part on both end. I hope shorter suspension arm/shorter link come in here. Edited January 2, 20232 yr by msk6003
