The Full Take
The Ferrari SF-24 is one of the most recognizable cars on the 2024 F1 grid, and LEGO® leaned into that licensing hard with this 1361-piece Technic build. At $229.99 it sits in familiar territory for flagship Technic racers, but 'familiar' is the problem — nothing here pushes the category forward. The build is competent: suspension, steering, a detailed powertrain, the usual Technic hallmarks done with care but without surprise. Shelf presence is solid if you're a Ferrari loyalist, but the SF-24's livery is tricky to replicate in plastic and the finished model reads more 'Technic red car' than screaming Maranello icon. It's a perfectly fine set that will satisfy someone who really wanted this specific car — it just doesn't earn the premium over comparable Technic racers without a stronger 'wow' in the bag.
