Description

Who it suits

At just under 1,300 pieces, Supercar sits in a comfortable middle ground. It is large enough to feel like a proper project, spread over an evening or two, but it does not demand the long commitment of a flagship model. Builders with a few smaller Technic sets behind them will find it approachable, and adults returning to the hobby can use it to get reacquainted with studless construction. There are no minifigures, so the whole piece count goes into the car itself.

An unbranded design

This is not a licensed replica. Like most Technic cars before manufacturers' names began appearing on the boxes, Supercar is an original design that takes cues from high-performance road cars without copying any single one. That freedom let the designers focus on mechanics and proportions. For collectors, the 2011 model is a useful snapshot of what a Technic sports car looked like at the time, sitting between the studded classics of the nineties and the large licensed supercars that came later.

Plenty of red

The catalogue lists black, red, light bluish grey and blue as the main colours, in that order. Having red ahead of grey is unusual for a Technic vehicle, and it means the inventory contains a good stock of red elements. Those are handy for custom sports cars, racing cars or fire engines. The structural parts are studless liftarms, pins, axles and gears, standard by 2011, while panels and beams combine to shape the bodywork.

Parts list and further builds

Every part appears in the list on this page with its colour and quantity, so checking a second-hand copy is simple. If the finished car has been on display for a while, the What can I build? tool compares its inventory with other sets and shows which ones you could build from it, along with any parts you would need to add. It is an easy way to get fresh use out of 1,281 pieces you already own.
