LOVED (8)

01Proportions and silhouette are instantly recognizable as a Koenigsegg
02Printed headlights are a sensible compromise given the real car's proportions
03No stickers needed; entirely printed elements
04Detailed interior with printed gauges and controls
05Authentic engine compartment detail including the Triplex suspension replica
06Innovative Ghost Mode mechanism that is smooth and reliable
07Folding mirrors add significant realism; even Koenigsegg engineers praised this detail
08Functional suspension system with new custom parts (wishbones, shock absorbers, wheel hubs)

CRITICIZED (8)

01Gaps and mismatched pieces in places
02Steering alignment could be better; steering wheel not perfectly centered when wheels are straight
03Wishbones flex more than expected under load, with visible movement of half-bush
04Ghost Mode linkage has visible slack; doors don't always reach full top position, especially when opened slowly
05Visible blue pins and internal Technic color-coding, which contrasts with the monochrome exterior
06Not all Ghost Mode functions work independently; if engine cover is up, everything must stay open
07Wheel gap still larger than on the real vehicle (acknowledged as price of functional suspension)
08Front and rear wheels are same size despite real car having larger rear wheels (though difference would only be ~4mm at scale)

What reviewers are saying

"The LEGO designer, Kasper Rene Hansen managed to capture that character pretty well."

RacingBrick

"The gearbox appears to be detailed yet simple, so I'll give it a try."

Ecosystem

Porsche 911 RSR (original Ultimate car) — The Porsche started the series but its age is clearly visible today.

Bugatti Chiron — Expanded the engineering and introduced the memorable marriage process but is now surpassed by the Koenigsegg.

Lamborghini Sián — Was the reviewer's previous favorite thanks to additional mechanical functions beyond gearbox and suspension, but the Koenigsegg is now the clear winner because it balances display quality and Technic functionality better.

Ferrari Daytona — Both are at the 450 EUR price point, and refined the bodywork without major mechanical innovations. The Koenigsegg is preferred for its superior engineering balance. Both regularly discounted 30% or more.

New Elementary

Expert Video Source

"The gearbox appears to be detailed yet simple, so I'll give it a try."

Key Pros

✓New 9-speed transmission with innovative stepper gears and drums that introduce fresh complexity while remaining understandable
✓Great engineering achievement with the gear indicator disc that finally solves the problem of knowing which gear the car is in
✓Ghost Mode door/hood/rear opening mechanism adds impressive playability compared to previous sets in the series

Key Cons

✕Ghost Mode mechanism is unreliable—requires precise opening angle or the hood won't open fully, and doors often get stuck at an angle instead of rotating vertically
✕Much of the gearbox complexity is hidden inside the car with unclear visibility of mechanics from the bottom

RacingBrick: LEGO-exclusive licensed hypercar model; part of the prestigious Technic Ultimate Cars series.

RacingBrick: LEGO exclusive partnership with Koenigsegg; early access for LEGO Insiders.

Resale

RacingBrick: Strong aftermarket value expected over time, though initial purchase should wait for discounts. Reviewer notes both the Daytona and P1 regularly see 30% or more discounts, implying similar trajectory possible for the Koenigsegg.

RacingBrick: Reviewer suggests waiting for price drop, implying potential for price fluctuation post-launch
