Like the Ring, its usage evolved over time to more decorative roles, which is why we can find it in a larger variety of colours today. so much so that I have bought and completed 3 more demanding technic kits, next up will be the Porsche 911 rsr with no marked numbers on the bags it's going to be challenging to say the least! Even in this picture steering wheel is turned the same direction, there are visible different connectors just behind the wheel, trough which axle can have only fixed postition.

The ball sections handle all the awkward tilting of the pieces, but since this is covered by the wheel hubs, all you see are the pistons moving in the engine. It is it's based on a 1970s Dodge Charger R/T, but one specific one, the Charger driven by Vin Diesel's character in the first film in the series, The Fast and the Furious, released in 2001. And when the streets need a rest, the model can be proudly displayed in its famous wheel-stand position. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
