Our take on the LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Toy Car

A 544-piece Technic build of the Shelby GT500 drag car for ages 9 and up. Two pull-back motors send it racing, and the LEGO AR+ app adds timed races and challenges on top of the build. A rear cover turns it into a display model when play is done. It sits between simpler pull-back Technic cars and the larger, pricier Technic supercars: fewer pieces and no gearbox or steering, but the same look and a quicker build. Owners rate it highly and call it a fun, sturdy build; some find the pull-back play and AR app thin after the first few runs.

Questions and answers

Is it worth it compared with bigger Technic cars?
It is a smaller, simpler build with no gearbox or steering. You get the pull-back racing and the Shelby look for far fewer pieces, so it suits younger builders or a first Technic set.
How does the pull-back motor work?
Pull the car backward to wind the two motors, then release and it races forward. It runs best on smooth, hard floors.
Do I need a phone for the AR features?
Yes. The LEGO AR+ app needs a compatible smartphone or tablet. The car builds and races fine without it.
What is in the box?
544 LEGO pieces, sticker sheet and instructions. The AR app is a free download, not a physical item.
How big is the finished car?
About 10.5 in. (27 cm) long, 4.5 in. (12 cm) wide and 3 in. (8 cm) high.
What age is it for?
LEGO recommends 9 and up. Younger kids can build it with help, and the pull-back play suits them too.
