LEGO 42143: Ferrari Daytona SP3: Everything You Need To Know (Review)

[@ThrowToTheWolves]

Whenever a brand new technic car I always turn to Racing Brick or Sariel for an outstanding indept review. The editing, lighting and music are so elegant in Sariel's videos and Racing Brick tookb new approach from comparing the real thing to the lego set to being in a really funny location. Honestly love both channels.

Same here. :)

[@johansten7976]

I absolutely love how their different review styles complement each other!

[@crouchedcrusader9839]

@@johansten7976 exactly! RB has a more toy like perspective, while Sariel has a more adult like opinion.

[@nickmangona48]

Hey man! I've been watching your videos for a long time, and I think your reviews are the most in depth and best on KZbin. I always consider what you think before making a purchase. Keep up the good work man!

[@searme]

Thank you, I will!

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Always appreciate the honesty in these reviews. A very prestigious/expensive display model however the comparisons gave me more appreciation for Sian in how well all the exterior paneling fits together with little to no gaps. I do however really like how all parts are printed throughout the build. Seriously, very much like Porsche 911 Creator model anything licensed or as expensive should be devoid of any stickers. Would really like to see some super cars in the Creator Expert line again some day as they're not quite as expensive, large or intimidating to assemble.

[@MyPage88]

Honestly, i was blown away by the quality of this video review presentation 😊

[@searme]

Thanks!

[@gabrielcernat3248]

Whenever I see LEGO has released new Technic sets I come to your channel. Great video as always and thank you!

[@searme]

Cool, thanks!

[@M-Filip]

Finished my set 2 days ago 1st thing: I still think you are speedruning those builds... box 2 alone took me 8 hours (and it was longest box) Whole building process took me little over 14hrs This set looks amazing in my shelf behind glass... I just love how it looks, 100% best of all 1:8 supercars (I don't have 911 GT3 unfortunately) There are few things that I don't really like/that annoys me: -section from rear end to dorrs looks like it's "moving" like in last Lego Ferrari set (idk maybe it's Ferrari thing) -during building and picking up finished model rims were leaving very little amount of silver paint on my fingers, does it happend to you too? - speaking of picking up... as you said this car is quite challenge to pick up, wheels are best option in my opinion - and mirrors... I think it will always be the weirdest part of those sets But even with those things I love this set, time it took to buy and build it was 100% worth it. Oh wait... I forgot... no bag so -1 point from opinion lol

[@lvl8000]

Your review is a real masterpiece. Very impressive and useful! Thank you Sariel

[@awad_codm2489]

This video helped me solve a problem that wasnt in the instructions tysm

[@McKrushi]

Thx for the nice review! A little thing: 39:07 I don't think the flex axles are supposed to be the immitation of the supports for the windschield. I woul rather say that the flex axles are the splines of the windshield surface to support the general 3d-form of the windshield and the "a-pillar" is missing. There are images of the real Daytona/3d-models where you can see that the distortions of the reflections in the windshield fit the flex axles. To 'fix' this you can maybe add an addtional bar for the a-pillar, but not sure if that would not just make it ugly :D.

[@ALLBrandito]

Great review as always! I always look forward for your review on the 1:8 super cars every 2 years

[@roomie1812]

Great review sariel as always. Thank you for your insight and thoughts.

[@giulianovalente1619]

This car Is a masterpiece 😍

[@CrazyChemistPL]

I for one like the windshield solution here. One of the drawback of the Technic supercars for me always were the big gaping holes instead of windshields, here, moving the supports inboard made much better suggestion of the actual car's windshield unique shape.

[@AHYL88]

Fantastic review as always, never failing to impress as usual! :) This is a tough one; it's improved and refined in some areas over the Lamborghini Sian, but goes back a step in others. I think what will stop me getting this outright is how relatively similar it appears to build compared to the Lambo in terms of the structure under the body. Although I didn't realise until this video that both the Ferrari and the Lamborghini sets were designed by the same person, and in fairness I accept that being based on a real car there's only so much you're allowed to change or do and if it was fine before, stick with it and make necessary improvements. I guess being the fourth car in the series now, the fatigue might be setting in? Perhaps if this set is being built by someone who hasn't built the Lambo or any of the past Ultimate Supercar sets, they will not be disappointed by the build experience one bit, cos it is amazing, if not rather long. As someone who built the Lambo and Porsche......I dunno, unless I was a huge Ferrari fan, maybe, but the Lambo was pretty draining to build, even though it's nowhere near the biggest Technic set! Great review again and awesome set, but perhaps not for me this time.

[@RAiNfORAiNbOW]

amazing review, beautiful music

[@Barryms0083]

Thanks! Loved the lighting and music in the beginning. You did not mention the odd sequence of the gears that Racing brick mentioned?

[@pinoybricks1275]

Alas, my much awaited review finally came out! Thanks!🙏

[@vcbncc]

Trust Sariel not to get carried away by the glitz and the glamour. Colour me cynical but these supercars now are beginning to feel like old wine in new bottles. If its display pieces we need then Speed Champions seem to be far more bang for the buck.... Oh and awesome work Sariel. Appreciate that midnight oil burnt.... 👍

[@awes0men0b0dy9]

Amazing review as always keep up the great work, also great filming, lighting and editing

[@99seaweed]

The only thing I didn’t see being brought up is the color consistency, how is it? People always seem to complain about solid color sets that not all the pieces are the same shade.

[@searme]

Looks pretty good to me here.

[@vallecarlos9]

La mejor reseña como siempre.

[@haflingerfan5800]

Insane video quality, as usual!

[@p.b.6034]

Why they put still blue pins for sets 18+ ? In my opinion they do not look good on such a premium set :/

[@LeslieRC]

I just finished this build and I think the result comes out quite beautiful. However, I noticed a few instances where the instructions were backwards or didn’t match results in later diagrams. Also, the set was missing 2 essential pieces…1 blue connecting pin (Bag 1) and the piece that attaches the prancing horse emblem to the rear assembly. Fortunately I was able to work around both issues.

99% the same.

[@philp8872]

@@searme Hi Sariel! Came to the comments for this after seeing Racinbrick. So what´s the improvement you mentioned? One differet pair of tooth gears, or just a more rigid frame? Or just the fun of the error in the instructions?

[@gamingfanfan3789]

Nice review thanks

[@clarkanine]

41:25 how on earth are the parts so scratched and worn already? This is a new set right?

[@real.ilya_remov]

Gosh, Sariel, I'm not through the review yet, obviously, but why oh why do you flip over pages by gripping from the center? I cringe every time I see it, that's the best way to tear the instruction booklet! P.S. I'm certain the rest of the review will be as magnificent as ever. Well done. The introduction was spectacular.

[@thisistotallyfine]

After watching this review, I’m now 50/50 on getting this set lol. I really want to like this technic set, but I find creator experts (like F40 and Porsche 911, and getting Delorean soon) more realistic and more fun to build. Like it feels much nicer to hold it in your hands compared to this massive set. But I’m really torn whether to get it.

[@rubenbloemert7886]

the creator expert vehicles are different. those are all build at different scales, while the technic supercars are all built at 1:8 scale. the technic cars are also more interesting in terms of functions, but the creator expert cars are sometimes more challenging to built

[@Montoro23-s8i]

Just watch one or two more reviews. I think Sariel was a bit careful with his words (allthough this might be because he didn't actually talk) while other KZbinrs got really loud when talking e.g. about the rubbish doors.

[@teap5878]

good

[@Wywydoesstuff]

nice vid, cool car

[@snipingwes]

Love the review. Hard disagree on the Sian being more flowing as a Lego set. Like you mention, perhaps the shape and appearance at many angles of the real Sian translates very well into Lego technic panels, contrasted with the tall order of emulating the fluid lines of the Ferrari. Also, the use of over-use of flex tubes on the Sian really emphasizes the large gap-to-panel ratio. On looks alone, Ferrari definitely takes cake, but I appreciate the differing opinions :)

[@The-6.8-guy]

Nice

Now we only need to put the body of the Chiron on the chassis of the Daytona SP3 (I mean new transmission/gearbox, new suspension). I just wonder if the big suspension can fit with the front wheels drive. BTW thank you Sariel for the review

[@undead.rising]

I just LOVE the music used during the unboxing section. Could you please tell me what it is called?

[@JGKski360]

Is this the hardest one to build of the four?

[@johnedwards6215]

Lamborghini really lend themselves to Lego as they’ve always had that ‘angular’ look. Ferrari are more ‘curvy and flowing’. Still I think they’ve done a good job, the only part that looks a bit off maybe is the rear wheel arch. I’ll reserve judgement until I complete my own and see it in the flesh.

Faulty how?

[@idp80]

Thanks for the review, much appreciated. If you don't mind, could you please try to put on the new wheels and tyres on the Lego Sian, if they can fit? Thanks heaps.

[@searme]

I have my Sian stored away, sorry, but I'm pretty sure these wheels are too big.

[@zdrapki8015]

As for these oversized winshield support- I think these are here just to accent the curvature of the pannel- as it is nonstandard in ferrari

[@LimChingLiang]

This set going to be 500 US dollar in summer. Lego price hike are insane. BTW, best big scale Lego Technic set still Bugatti & BMW M1000 RR. The build feel like factory assembly line, it make the builders feel like the assemble line machine connecting those part by part together.

[@alloy0455]

Is there any ways to get the springs. I have the chiron Sian and the McLaren f1 and all at them. Right after building sag so much that the suspension does nothing they all lay on the base if I pull the car up it lift but then fall right back down like there’s not even any springs there.

The Sian (and the Bugatti too) have more unique shaping to them, whereas this has more of a classic car look to it, where the overall shape is not as conplex here.

[@searme]

We all have the same manual.

@@searme thanks a bunch for your response! I'll be sure to get lots of sleep before building it. Lol

[@Jundis1]

Your analysis of the new parts are always a highlight! But I guess there are 2 of the bigger and 4 of the smaller yellow bevel gears, aren't there? ;-)

[@searme]

No. This is an RWD car, not an AWD one, so two small gears and a single big one.

[@TaiNguyen-wq5gw]

I expected more of the new parts section, it should list all parts introduced this year and even last year. Some sets introduced them first do not mean they are no longer new.

[@searme]

Um, why? Parts that came in other sets already aren't exactly new. Should I list all parts going 10 years back? There's a complete parts list anyway.

[@MysteriousRJC]

Excellent review as always. I'm torn on this ... have the 3 predecessors... would lie to have it... but feeling a bit underwhelmed given the steep price.

[@abelqawasmi8522]

Maybe wait 3-6 months until sites put them on sale with promo codes. Happened for me for the BMW motorcycle and I saved like 40 bucks.

[@rubenbloemert7886]

Im quite happy to own the Sian, as this set appears to be of a little lower quality than the SIan, or am I wrong with that? Great review as always!

[@1234567890ZETA]

Let’s face it who will do the things you’re doing to a set a regular collector will build and end displaying? It’s a nice review you did but nitpicking on the obvious faults I have to watch those parts repeatedly like what could’ve been done better or is there a small mod that can be done to make the headlights look closer to the source material. My biggest gripe is the windshield, I get that isn’t not on the actual car but if it was taken out the set’s design could you imagine how the set would’ve looked like? I feel like it’s still a nice set. Obviously I bought one for myself to build and display. The set might be flimsy and to some might feel unfinished but I have the same thoughts with the Ferrari 488 you reviewed, it sure feels incomplete and wobbly but if I’m only buying it to build and display and maybe occasionally roll on the table wherever pleases me would it really matter for me or anyone who does as what pleases them?

[@RobloxXVSDAviation]

There are errors in the manual,this was my first time seeing racing bricks weejio

[@Jachucreation]

Co jak co, ale Sariel robi najlepsze recenzje na yt. Niestety takie akcje pochłaniają masę pracy i czasu Niestety model dla mnie jest słaby i nie umywa się do lambo (pomimo problemów z kolorem)

[@For891]

This was the first of the 4 that didn’t make me want it to complete the collection. I don’t know how cheap it would have to be.

[@2660MHz]

This set is not meant for playability, it's for display And it has to be bought on discount

[@searme]

Technic is supposed to be playable by definition. If I wanted a display-only set, I would buy an Architecture one.

[@p3rpl3x1985]

hey. Great review, just as always. Also; I am proud owner of your "The Unofficial Lego Technic Builders Guide" (first edition though, maybe gonna grab the 2nd edition, if it is still out there..!) Can it be, that the steering system in this Ferrari is an actual "ackermann steering" system, while in the Lamborghini, it isn't? . . ( About the THIN lift arms, that are being used in this set for the suspensions: I once tried building a front axle: full suspended wheels, propelling differential front axle, plus ackermann steering, and in that prototype, which still exits to this point, I "was forced" to use thin lift arms as well. And it even "misses" a 4th somewhat maybe important lift arm left and right, due to the steering mechanics ..Did you ever build such a front axle, that "has got everything in it" ? CAN it be, that these new RIMS are a game changer here?!))

[@searme]

No sir, no Ackermann here and no game changing rims. And I don't have to build an axle that has everything in it because LEGO already did it. Set 8880, year 1994.

[@p3rpl3x1985]

​@@searme ah, okay. Thank You very much for clarification on Ackermann yes or no here! I meant with "game changing", that ...it looks like there simply has to be more space "in" the rim,..or at least I wish that was the fact. but maybe you did understand that right right, of course, how I meant that, and there really is no more room than in other rims. ^^* okay, I will have to accept that. . . Yes, I am proud owner of the beautiful 8880 super car, I am aware of the fact, that Lego already did "build" a propelled front axle with differential, and this had the ackermann steering system. .. However, LEGO back then had this totally unique system, how these 2 parts were clipped into the rim. So with this particularly pre-determined shape of the ackerman system, the length/wide-ratio of the car was determined as well. That is, why I tried to build it myself, as well: Just to try and see if I can do it. And as well, because I wanted to try it with newer tires... i do not know exactly, which LEGO cars - after the 8880 - had an actual ackermann.. Upon that, I am pretty sure, that the 8880 - up to this day - is the only car, that had that "all in it"-front axle, ain't that right(?) I wonder if there ever will be another super car that could live up to the wow experience I had back then with the 8880 once again, ......I whish they simply "dropped" one like it, unannounced, just like.."oh and hey, no real brand Porsche or Bugatti or Lamborghini or Ferrari, just the next in our "super car series" ...... ohh how I would probably feel like I was 9 years old again ^^* Thank You so much again for answering my question

[@kenk7875]

I feel like the Creator sets are a better fit for the branded collabs - the technic sets can show off cool new features and functionalities (like 8-speed paddle shifters!), without worrying about ALSO making a representational model. I’m very happy with my Ferrari F40 Creator set - this Daytona Sp3 set doesn’t interest me.

[@dwaynebrietzke]

Thank you for the review. While the set looks amazing at first glance the fact that the cockpit and engine compartment are bare bones is a dealbreaker on this one for me. This set is 500.00 in Canada here and I just cannot justify that for a set that has basically same gearbox as the others and is a step backwards on inner details. If one of your functions is an opening engine bay, you should have a gorgeous detailed compartment. And that dashboard.......so laughably basic.

[@jjsanimations]

The car is only 300 bucks, the packaging is the other 100 (USD)

[@jasonkohlmeier6707]

I am not as fond of this car as the sian. But I have the other three and want to have a complete collection. I think the price sucks. Not sure on the runouts of price going up. Spoke to Lego here in the states and so far they say no. Yet they may not be honest either.
