I do speak Dutch, so my translation of

New 'cool' Hydraulic system!

With the new hydraulic system, the cabine opens incredibly easy.
That's cool! You can use this part in other models aswel. For
instance, try to make a car where the hood or doors slide open
effordlesly.
Imagine, You just build one of the cool models, or designed your own.
Wouldn't it be fantastic if you could see all the technical details
work? Choose one of the LEGO TECHNIC motors en your almost there.

8446 LEGO TECHNIC crane
With frontwheel drive, a claw that can turn and a cabine that opens
easily when you press a button. The new metal elements make your model
look really cool, so why wouldn't you use them when you design your
own models. Can be motorized with 8735. From 11 years.

8444 LEGO TECHNIC Helicopter
With a front element and many exciting details. When you build this
model, you can take away part of it and create other cool models, like
a truck or an airplane. You can motorize it with 8735. From 9 year.

8445 LEGO TECHNIC Racecar
With V6 engine and rearwheel drive. The cockpit opens when you press a
button. Notice all the metal parts. The model can be motorized with
8735. From 9 year.

Prof sets
Once you're a experienced LEGO TECHNIC builder, it's time to use your
talents on the Prof Sets. Imagine: A super model like the Super Car
that comes alive. A feast to build and to look at.

New futuristic cardesign
You build this supercar step by step - first the chassis, then you add
the engine, either in the front or the back, add the wheels and the
other mechanical parts and you end with the new design parts. When you
want to alter your super car, use the chassis again and make a
completely different design in no time.

8448 LEGO TECHNIC Super Car
With his set you build your Super Car completely to your own wishes.
Like shown here as a convertible, or like a black race-monster without
the red parts. The car has six gears, modern suspension and a lot of
other details that you'll descover while you're building it. From 11
year.

Imagine: A car with wing-doors. Or any other detail of current
car-design. The Super Car has it all.
----------

The thing that makes me curious the most is the mentioning of the
metal parts. Would these be real metal, or just crome-coated plastic?

(...) Front wheel drive? Is that steering wheel drive? This puzzles me. (...) This seems to confirm my suspicion that the hydraulic piece simply provides a damped spring, pretty much like when you press eject on a cassette deck. But I'm only (...) (26 years ago, 29-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)
