The set is great. It portrays well the real car, and the look can be further enhanced with custom stickers you can easily find online. The model is very heavy, but suspension works fine. Also "key-actuated" functions like doors, flaps on the bottom of the car, engine cover and front trunk, work smoothly, although it takes a lot of turns to open fully due to the gearing. The most interesting part of the model - which to me was the gearbox - however is barely working, and is the real drawback of the set. I appreciate that it tries a different mechanism compared to the usual one (i.e. the one in the Red Supercar and other CaDa models, as well as ones from the danish brand), but it's overly complex, with a lot of gears and universal joints, and ends up stuck often. The rear steering also doesn't work as it's supposed to do, even if you build the model with a lot of attention to the tolerances of the gears. Overall a good display model, but in terms of functions I feel they should've dumbed down the model and include just a handful of those, and actually focused on making them work smoothly everytime.
In the pic a side by side with another cada model for comparison.

great set, fun build!

My first CaDA, great build! The quality of the pieces is extraordinary, the design is outstanding, but... in the instructions for me, larger images could be better, it is not easy to build, so I think more images of how it goes, make a lot of difference. It was really good experience !

The instructions are difficult and the build is difficult. When building you have to make sure that all the exposed axles are at a 90 degree angle whenever possible just in case. Also there are interesting and difficult building techniques that you would probably never find in a lego set. But the end results looks amazing and the functions are also extremely impressive. It's mostly structurally stable and not that fragile. There are some non-technic bricks on the sides but won't fall off that easily.

Indeed a Masterpiece on this one and everything felt like real when it goes to Function & Design of this Hypercar....

After buying i received my order the next day honestly shocked at the speed. Five stars

I have been building Lego Technic style vehicles for a while. Wanted to see how the Cada sets hold up. This was a very challenging and technical build I took me around 30 hours. All the pieces were there and the feel is much like original Lego bricks. Everything fit as it should. I will be displaying the model so it isn't too big of a deal, but the doors don't seem to work. that said, the engineering built in to open the front/rear decks is genius. Some negative spots, some of the illustrations are a little confusing and took me a while to figure out. One big thing on the manual was that 1/2 way through bag 7 it changes to the second volume. they should have each section complete in a single manual. I will most definitely purchase another model as it was a lot of fun to build.

Brilliant set and loved the build although quite tricky. I would even consider it better than Lego. Had loads of features and shopping was great and stickers weren’t to bad

it was hard to build but it looks very good

Having built all of the large Technic sets, I have a good base to judge from. First, the packaging is beautiful, easily equal to Lego. The pieces really feel good but aren’t quite the same quality, I had a couple broken ones. The bags aren’t separated nearly as well either. The directions are ok but not always clear. The build itself is very complex. Far more than even the newest Technic builds. Some of the techniques were cool to see but others felt too complex to be described easily. Overall I like the finished product but I’m not sure I’d order another or build it again.
