What reviewers are saying

"If you hate applying stickers, stay far far away from the Speed Champions theme as the sets are absolutely littered with them."

Jay's Brick Blog

"I think that most of it is actually done pretty well"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"This was the first of the new Speed Champions sets which I purchased and I am delighted with the results."

Ecosystem

Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 (Speed Champions) — Both sets feature heavy sticker application, but the Mustang GT is part of a second wave featuring new carmakers (Ford, Chevrolet, Audi) and represents a step forward for the theme.

McLaren P1 (2015 Speed Champions) — Jay mentions owning but not yet building the McLaren P1 and notes that Speed Champions sets make fun little sets and are a huge step up from regular LEGO cars.

First wave Speed Champions sets — This set is off to an excellent start compared to the mixed feelings the reviewer had on the first wave.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

In this set (1)

Ford Mustang GT Driver

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Cheese slope/1x1 tile stickers
New type of sticker introduced in this set; described as a horrific innovation that is tiny and a massive pain to apply.
Interchangeable wheel rims
The set includes two sets of rims (5-spoke stars and 7-spoke split-prong) that can be switched for customization, a nod to car culture and personalizing vehicle appearance.
Bucket seat design
Created from a slope and tile combo, giving it a unique look unlike regular LEGO chairs.
Dark bluish gray wheel inserts
First time in the reviewer's coverage of Speed Champions sets; includes a second alternative set of wheel inserts with a different design
Lap time board
Included as an extra item to use the set's parts budget
2x3 curved slope (white)
This is a new element. While not entirely necessary as a pair of 1x3 slopes would have been just as effective, it is noted as a useful piece that will prove useful in other scenarios.

What Owners Say · summarized from 30 written reviews (LEGO, Amazon, Walmart)

Owners love the Mustang's appearance and easy build, but excessive stickers—especially on the front end—are a persistent frustration that detracts from accuracy and display appeal.
