If you want a Supercar with a lot of functions, this is the one. 4-wheel
steering, 4-wheel drive, transmission (4 speed - no reverse), independent
suspension on all 4 wheel, toggle headlight, 8 pistons engine. The only problem
of this set is: heavy weight - you will have to do massive modifications to
power this set with one (or even more) lego motor. 150$-200$ is about the going
price; some lucky people sometimes find it cheaper. The 8448 is more stylish,
lighter, and has a better transmission but the 8880 is a classic.
