LEGO® Technic 40th anniversary

LEGO® Technic launched in 1977 as the Expert Builder series. To celebrate the 40th anniversary, Technic sets released in 2017 include a specially printed part.

We also released building instructions for an updated version of the 8860 Car Chassis. This set was originally released in 1980 and was way ahead of its time. It featured a working engine and gearbox, as well as steering, suspension and adjustable seats. The Car Chassis set a new standard for functionality that the Technic theme has continued to build on to this day.

The new building instructions show you how to recreate this classic model out of parts from the 42057 Ultralight Helicopter, 42061 Telehandler and 42063 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure. You can find the instructions here.
