This new-for-2019 set (actually available right at the end of 2018) is going to be a big hit with Lego fans I’m sure, as well as appealing to petrolheads who don’t have much Lego but really want the iconic Porsche 911 on their shelf or mantelpiece. And it’s deserved as well, as this is a great set that the Lego designers have put a lot of effort into.In terms of build and moving parts, it has a large amount in common with the Rally Car set 42077 that we bought and built earlier this year, so I’m largely comparing it to that. There are a few rearrangements to make this new set look like the 911, but the moving parts (six-cylinder engine, lovely suspension) and the wheelbase are inherently the same.Yet remarkably, the 911 has over 50% more pieces in it (1580 compared to 1005). This is largely because the 911 is denser, with more ‘fiddly’ details required to make it closely resemble the real thing, and far more details in areas such as the densely-packed cabin. It’s also because the 911 ends up being a little bit longer- the curved nose of the 911 sticks out quite a bit further beyond the front wheels than the rally car. The result, when built, certainly looks like the 42077 rally car’s plush, posh cousin.One key difference is that in the other set the steering wheel is just for show, and there’s a cog on top that really turns the wheels. In this set, the steering wheel inside the car really does turn the wheels. (That stick on top of the car is meant to be an aerial- it took me a minute to work that out!) That’s really smart from an engineering point of view and satisfying to build, but for anyone actually wanting to play with driving this set around their table or their floor, it’s actually a bit less convenient than having the top-mounted control. I imagine the Porsche Design team didn’t want a weird looking cog on top of their car though, which is understandable.Building it is the usual immersive Lego joy, with the usual consistent and clear set of instructions throughout. Because it’s so densely packed then you need to pay quite a lot of attention, particularly when building the core of the car, as one wrong insertion unspotted could cause you major problems further down the line. My daughter and I ploughed through it at an enthusiastic speed and I wasn’t timing us, but it definitely took us less time than I would’ve expected a 1500 piece set to take.It’s also got more stickers than any other Lego set I’ve ever seen, giving you a variety of novelty items like a rear-view camera, a James Bond-esque range of mysterious buttons and something that looks vaguely like a gearbox. Personally I’m not a big fan of Lego’s stickers as they always seem to be a shortcut towards messing things up, but that’s probably just me. Most confusing here is the fact that two of the stickers are completely white, and get stuck onto white panels on the roof of the car- I was convinced that was a mistake, but apparently it’s not!Unlike its smaller cousin the rally car, there is no “2 in 1” option on this, so while if we ever got bored of the 42077 we could completely rebuild it as a beach buggy, this 911 predictably only has the one configuration- as though Lego are (unsurprisingly) expecting a lot of grown men to build it, put it on the display and never touch it again!At time of writing I don’t know what the retail asking price on this 911 set will be. If you’re looking for a big fun Lego car to really play with, and which you’d let the kids loose with, then I think the (probably cheaper) 42077 Rally Car set would have the edge. If however you want to appreciate the iconic 911 design and this set is more for show, then this is a beautifully impressive set which is fun to make and which has some great details in it.A premium item which will bring joy and pride to the petrolhead and/or Lego-head in your life.

I have to confess to being a Lego amateur; while I have built and helped build my share of normal, brick-based Lego, I wasn’t aware until now that there is another Lego world of much greater sophistication and complexity. Be warned that this kit will take much more concentration and thought to complete than any of the brick-based kits I have seen.The principle of construction here is different and much more flexible, allowing for a realism that you can’t achieve with normal Lego. Aesthetically that’s great but it means you have to know what you’re doing in putting the pieces together. Where brick Lego is, essentially, binary – either you are clicking together things that will click together,or they won’t join at all – this system allows you to connect things the wrong way around or the wrong way up, and it took us some trial and error to work out the right “feel” for the connections.You will also want to be organised to put this kit together. The pieces are boxed up in a series of separate bags and it is very well worth keeping the pieces in those groupings for as long as you can. Many of the pieces are tiny, others look similar but have important differences and the initial sorting will help you with all of that. And there is an important instruction book without which we couldn’t even have started building this kit. It needs a big table or floor space, and it took us over 7 hours to build (but as noted, I have never tried anything like this before). We also found information online, including very helpful fan videos showing the assembly in detail.Once built this is a big toy car and it is pretty robust. The steering wheel moves and turns the wheels, but the layout of the car makes it impossible of course to steer the car with it moving at any speed. I am no petrolhead but even to me this looks like a handsome and fairly convincing replica of the real thing. It is rated as 10+, but I think only a very experienced and confident 10-year-old would really cope with this unassisted.

This is the flagship LEGO Technic set for the first half of 2019. It's a collaboration with Porsche, and so is an approved design, with official Porsche logo stickers etc. This isn't LEGO's first collaboration with Porsche - the stunning Ultimate Technic 911 GT3 RS is already available, but that is a seriously expensive and lavish set; this is very much a cut-down version of a similar car.It's around 1500 pieces - it'll take an experienced builder several hours to complete. The build time is not helped by LEGO's baffling decision to not pre-sort the pieces into numbered bags, which they do for most large kits these days - I've no idea why they opted not to do so for this set.The instructions run to just under 300 pages, and are the usual model of clarity you expect from LEGO.The resulting build is a lot less sophisticated than the Ultimate Technic 911 - the main absence is the gearbox; this model hasn't even got a simple gearbox. What you do get, though, is working suspension and steering, opening doors and engine cover, and an engine with moving pistons. The finished model is suitably large - just under half a metre long, so a bit smaller than the Ultimate 911 but a hefty chunk of LEGO nonetheless.Most Technic sets have an optional set of instructions available for download to build a second model, but I can't find any for this - I'd guess there aren't many other Porsches that could be made with the same bits, but it's still a bit of a shame that the set can only be used for one model rather than the usual two.But that aside, of the larger Technic sets I've built, this is one of the better ones - it's a nice replica of a Porsche racing car, and the finished model looks impressive, particularly with all the stickers applied. But the one you really want is the Ultimate Technic GT3 - this is a decent substitute, but not quite up there with the real thing!

My Husband has recently discovered Technic despite myself and the Children having been Lego loons for a while now and its safe to say he has got the bug.Age Suitability:-This set is aimed at 10+ and it is a whopper of a build which really is aimed at the older builder especially as like with other Technic sets the parts bags are not numbered. If possible its best to take some time sorting by part and colour at the beginning of the build if you have somewhere to sort the parts such as some plastic trays etc as this does help to save some frustration parts hunting during the build.Size:-This is a large sized set and has 1580 pieces with some small spares.My Husband didn't keep a note of how many build bags there were but thinks its was around 17 bags. There is also two large sticker sheets (52 stickers) and a thick instruction manual. The car when built measures 51cm long by 13cm high by 21cm including the wing mirrors as we have measured the car ourselves.Features:-The car has wheels that move when the steering wheel is turned, opening doors on each side and an opening boot where you can view the moving pistons inside when the car is pushed along.A fantastic set which my Husband really enjoyed building and took him approximately 10 hours spread over a few weeks when he could do some building of an evening in between work etc. Once built it really does look amazing and apparently its not being dismantled for quite some time and looks great on display.

For a Lego fan, of course, will not let go of any product worth buying, of course this also includes the Porsche 911 RSR.Compared with 3599 pieces of Bugatti Chiron, 1580 pieces of Porsche 911 RSR, it reduces a lot of difficulty.So I decided to buy this product on my son's birthday.Regarding the quality and design of Lego products, no redundant evaluation is made.Regarding the age reference, my son is five years old this year, and he has completed more than 90% of the 500-step manual independently. It is a very good test for five-year-old children's concentration and endurance. Independent suspension and a six-cylinder boxer engine, yes There is a certain degree of difficulty when children install it.It takes a total of two days and 9 hours to complete the installation. During this period, there were times when they had to give up, but they were all completed under my encouragement and the temptation of delicious food. For a self-made product That kind of joy, both adults and children will get considerable gains and satisfaction from it.I recommend this product, it is really suitable for all ages.

This is a very accessible and buildable kit - yes, it’s over £100 but compared to the Orange 911 - which along with the Bugatti - is in the upper echelons of Lego building, it’s much more achievable both financially but also in enjoyment of build and the quality of the end result.Despite being simpler, it’s still a functionality rich and very interesting build, with the engine, suspension and details very well executed. You end up with a very big and playable model at the end too, which looks fantastic on the shelf or at play.This is labelled as 10+ but I think it’s really more appropriate for the older teen builder - Lego have made nothing easy in this kit and the bags aren’t numbered - it’s traditional Technic Lego,all lumped together. The initial patience of categorising and sorting the pieces to make the subsequent build easier is not something that will likely come easily to a 10 year old.That said, it’s a rewarding and interesting build which delivers a fantastic end result and well worth getting, even if you do already have the bigger editions.

A dream in reality, a reality in Lego. The Porsche 911 is one of the ultimate sports cars that any enthusiast must have. Provided with a detailed, well laid out, colourful ~500 step instruction booklet - I was able to successfully complete this Lego car.A decision that some may say is controversial, I enjoyed not having the bags numbered. As a set targeted towards the older audience, I thought it provided more of a challenge than previous sets. I discovered that there were no missing pieces; and there was also some spare common Lego parts in case some did go astray which was pleasing to see.The technic capabilities is appealing on completion.To see the moving parts and the in-built suspension really shows the detailed level that Lego and Porsche have concomitantly invested to deliver an impressive product.Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed completing the Porsche 911 and had hours of entertainment. If you have a passion for cars and Lego then this set is definitely the perfect product for you.

This kit is the latest Porsche model from Lego and I have to say it is awesome. The box is full of bags of bits to make an incredibly detailed model car, accompanied by an instruction manual that is half an inch thick. The hundreds of pieces are all safely bagged in the box, ready for assembly. There are also the obligatory stickers to make it look absolutely authentic. The level of detail is astounding, with very finely detailed and authentic interior features, and a complex 6-cylinder engine with moving pistons. This is, of course, not a model to be taken to pieces and made into other things, it will be made up by the recipient (a Lego devotee) at Christmas and placed in his study and admired.It will give him immense pleasure in assembling this and adding it to his collection. For any great fan of Lego Technic, this is an absolute gem and, although not cheap at all, is one to treasure. If you cannot afford the real thing, this is surely next best!

I was looking for a Christmas gift for my partner. Who is very hard to please. Plus he likes a challenge. The item arrived 2 days before the delivery date. Which I was very happy about. I do not know about assembly or durability due to being a gift. But over all , from what I've seen of the product. I'm very happy.Update. This gift was welcomed with alot of joy. My partner has been on the assembly for a few days. Doing an hour or so at a time. In no rush to finish it. Very complexed. No numbers on the bags. And parts are mixed up a little in the bags. So this product is definitely made for the older child and more to the adult level. If this item has been bought for a child or is intended for a child.They WILL need an adult with them. (Unless they are like Sheldon.) Brilliant product.

Bought for £80 in Argos (sorry Amazon) on Black Friday for my 11 year old for Xmas and finally finished today. Was a bit freaked out when we saw everything in one bag but careful organisation and use of boxes to sort parts soon sorted that. Is a really useful way to learn about the engine, diff, suspension and steering rack; all of which work. A couple of frustrating mistakes in the instructions but the joy of working them out outweighed the annoyance. Overall a very enjoyable build. He is now beaming from ear to ear with pride at his achievement and I am stupidly proud. Only thing is it's bloody huge and don't know where to put it. Bugatti Chiron next I think. It apparently has a working gearbox.Oh, and it uas also cured him of his Fortnite addiction. Thanks Lego ?

You expect a certain level of quality from Lego Technic- a feeling that you are building something brilliant and because you put it together, you feel a huge sense of achievement. Yes there are hundreds of pieces and yes they do look very similar, but part of the fun is solving it like a puzzle.The instructions, on the whole, are very clear. It occasionally loses clarity due to the small number of colours. They could have bagged different sections up, but if your household is like mine, it all ends up in a carrier bag multiple times so that doesn't bother me.It's take a family effort several days to complete, but it's worth it as a group effort. If you prefer building alone, you will certainly enjoy it.And the finished product looks spectacular.

I enjoyed this one especially as I got it at a very good (for Lego) price of £72It was a good build, but finished it's a bit sparse on detail and I'm not convinced about the headlight assembly (too bulbous) the more expensive Porsche model does it better and it's not as if there are more parts to that particular area so I don't think it's a simple 'you get what you pay for'The presentation isn't as nice as the more expensive models either, but that is a different value proposition.I built this after the defender and it was nowhere near as complex so if I'd paid full retail, this review would more likely be 3 star at best but I have to review it as I found it.

It was a real challenge to build.there are 52 stickers to apply and once applied the Porsche is a very striking model. its a model you cannot rush building but it comes together nicely. a problem with the fastening plugs though as they were a very tight fit indeed and strength with the fingers needed to affix.this may be the reason why the steering is not functioning the wheels can be manipulated and the steering wheel turned but not together. I cannot dismantle the front end to fully determine the problem.I was one part short but managed to find a substitute.I have built the Bugatti and the Land Rover but believe the Porsche is the best of the three

This is my 1st Lego Technics kit, and really enjoying it so far. I don’t really understand the comments about numbering of the bags. This for me is a good thing. I have just opened all the bags and emptied them into a large box. It makes it a little more of a challenge fishing through for the part you need. Even if the bags were numbered, I’d still empty them all into the same box.I’d say my only complaint is that I’d have preferred a flip top box (or lid and bottom like a jigsaw puzzle box) so that I could use that to empty all the bags in rather than have to find an alternative container/box.All in all, very pleased with it.

My second re-visit tolego after a 50-year gap. (First was the Saturn V). Expensive kits so try and get when on offer. Bags not numbered (they were for the Saturn V) but I didn't find this a big issue - just use a big tray and the bags either have big bits or small bits in them so you can guess which bag is needed when. No problems with the build which was good fun, especially the engine, steering and suspension. I used the stickers just because they're in the instructions. Didn't really think about not using them. What's next? Is there a big space shuttle? Thought about the DB5 but design didn't quite look right.
