Steering |
 |
 |
The steering of this set is without actual steering wheel or HOG. There is a genius swing mechanism with rack and pinion. The turning point for the track rod of the front axle is one stud lower than the turning point of the whole front axle. The whole front of the car has a turning point while connected to the back side of the car. So when you swing the car to a side the steering will follow. Very clever way of egtting to an alternative way of steering which fits with the sportive character of this set. |

Engine |
 |
 |
Unbelievable but this just over 200 pieces set has a working 4 cylinder engine! Very clever with just 2 Dark Bluish Gray Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 2 - Axle Hole on an axle linked with the rear wheels. There was not enough room for a differential so the engine is run by just one wheel,but still impressive. Though a bit flimsy I love it and the cylinders made with 4 White Technic, Pin 1/2 without Friction Ridges, works just fine. Well in sight you can see them move while driving the car. |

Suspension |
 |
 |
The rear suspension is just fuin and with a construction and works very well. It is actually a rear suspension just between the front and back parts of the chassis with one Light Bluish Gray Technic, Shock Absorber 6.5L with Black Piston Rod - Soft Spring, Tight Coils.This comes with some very neat construction which is fun to build. |
|
Livery |
 |
The livery of this car is flashy and fits the type of vehicle very well. The combination of neon-yellow parts and the dark colored stuickers gives this set a nice look-and-feel. The seats made of 2 Blue Technic, Panel Curved 3 x 5 x 3, are enriched with stickers with seat belts,which alll together makes this a visual nice set as well. | |
