Lego Technic 8865 "The Test Car" - 1988


Can't believe this set is already 31 years old.  This is the 2nd Lego Technic I ever saw when I was a kid. I really wanted the Lego Technic 8860 until this bad boy came around.  Got this picture from my old Lego 1988 catalogue. It looks so cool.  For me it looked like an unfinished Lamborghini Countach which was a very popular car at that time. It matches the flipping headlights and the flat front bumpers.  I believe it has a TV commercial where the car went over the edge of a table and it still kept on running without breaking to pieces when it landed on the floor. Seeing those amazing things for the first time as a kid makes it very hard to forget. My mind was blown at that moment.  With individual suspension, a working steering wheel, a working gearbox, adjustable seats, gear differential, 4-piston engine, it was ahead of its time I'd say. Was an amazing car and still is.  What do you think?
