I have just finished making it. It is stunning. It dwarfs last year's super
car, at nearly 70cm long.

It is also more challenging to make -- the pieces are all 'jumbled-up' like
the old days, not all pre-sorted for each sub-assembly like 8448 :-) I think
it took about 5-6 hours total.

The front and rear suspension is very cleverly implemented, and is quite
stiff, unlike 8448 which sinks under its own weight.

There are a number of new elements used in the suspension, and also some new
'D' shaped pieces used to simplify the engine construction.

Overall, a must-have for every Technic fan...

In catalog pictures, I see a guy in it with a helmet that looks unlike that of
a normal (Technic) figure.  Does it have a new figure?
