The LEGO Technic 42176 Porsche GT4 e-Performance Race Car set is probably the most anticipated release from the August 2024 wave, thanks to its brand new hub with 3 integrated motors, 6 lights and a rechargeable battery, and also due to the fact that LEGO claims this to be the fastest Control+ set today. But is it really, and is it a good build?

    Well folks, what do you think? Should we try to run Pybricks on this hub? And add a direct wireless connection with a real gamepad like the Xbox Controller? We don't know yet if this hub supports updates in a way that is similar the other hubs... Stay tuned.
  • @msk6003
    Considering buggy tire is 1.3x bigger than porsche's tire, I wonder what happened if we put buggy tire on new hub.
  • @M0torsagmannen
    this is why you are my #1 Technic reviewer, always super thourough and on point. and i also love how you alway try to remain unbiased and consumer oriented.

    The fibral optic cable is fire, they need to produce more of this piece, it will be very useful ❤
  • @Traiseoyo
    Ngl this August is going to be great
  • @klausm5460
    I´m a huge Porsche fan, electric car fan and LEGO fan. What could possibly go wrong? Well, let´s say there is room for improvement...
  • @BlackringIII
    LOVE IT WHEN THEY INTRODUCE A RECHARGABLE BATTERY ON A NON STANDARD HUB 😍
  • @FluffiestWalrus
    You’re probably my favorite reviewer despite not being a huge technic fan. I watch every review even when I probably won’t get the set. And I especially love when you do the occasional system set
  • @mr.jaco6526
    Wow, it looks better without stickers. Anyways, great video
  • Alternate rear motor output is excellent for 4 wheel drive vehicles, such as the Audi e-tron set. Would be cool to mod the e-tron to integrate this new hub Also, a detachable battery suggests that we may see a high power hub with 2 battery inputs.
  • @SaperPl1
    separate motors at the back looks like something that could be useful for a tracked vehicle or one motor for drive input and second one as gear selector - this could actually be a fastest set if they made the gearbox and an app that would automatically adjust the gears based on the load on the motor.
  • @RahLoh
    if they sold a kit with that hub and some general parts it would have such a huge movement behind it
  • @andrewg7576
    11:09 "I think the buggy was a little bit faster." You mean that buggy driving a longer distance (obvious curve in its route) but getting to the black lines on the ground faster? Nah....
  • @ZEROBRICKS
    Thank you for the detailed review. If you don't mind, I have a few two questions: 1. How well do the fiber optics fit into the pins and cross axles? Is it a loose, or a tight fit - 3,0 standard diameter or a custom 3,2 LEGO version? 2. Does the new hub have enough torque to spin the wheels? 3. What's the gear ratio between the side and back outputs? Thank you and keep up the good work!
  • @PhoenixClank
    No firmware flashing interface on the new hub? No replacement batteries? Surely, this must be causing a huge public outcry! People, you need to realize when you're in the process of being trapped in an "ecosystem". Don't let companies do this to you!
