Description

A race car built for the Technic shelf

The Ferrari 488 GTE 'AF Corse #51' belongs to the Technic line and recreates the GT racing car fielded by Italian team AF Corse in endurance series such as the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Rather than play features, the model focuses on mechanical detail: working steering, moving suspension and a visible piston engine are near-standard on Technic vehicles of this size. At 1,684 pieces, it sits towards the upper end of Technic car sets, aimed at builders who value realistic mechanics over pure looks.

Colours and part count

239 unique shapes across 1,684 pieces is a fairly compact range compared with road-car sets, reflecting the repeated struts, axles and connectors typical of Technic building. The bodywork follows the car's red livery, with black for mechanical components, light bluish grey for the chassis and blue picked out for sponsor and team detailing. That colour choice keeps the model readable as a race car even from a distance, rather than blending into a generic Technic build. The full 239-part list further down this page covers every shape used in the model.

No minifigures, all mechanics

There are no minifigures with this set; Technic vehicles of this class focus on reproducing the mechanics rather than adding play figures. Anyone planning the build benefits from checking the parts list on this page first, since Technic models tend to reuse several near-identical strut and connector shapes throughout. The build itself typically works from chassis through suspension to bodywork, with the engine acting as the centrepiece of the mechanical assembly.

Where it sits in the Technic range

At 1,684 pieces, the Ferrari 488 GTE sits between the smaller Technic cars and the largest showpiece vehicles in the range, suiting builders who already have some Technic experience. The red-and-black colour scheme sits comfortably next to other racing sets on a shelf, and the connectors and struts included are equally useful as spare stock for separate Technic projects.
