LEGO® Technic - Dodge Viper GTS-R Sports Car 42234

The LEGO Technic Dodge Viper GTS-R Sports Car (42234) is an 805-piece model for builders aged 10 and up, finished in a bright white racing scheme. It sits in the mid-size Technic car category, where the emphasis is on visible mechanical function rather than sheer part count. The set also includes a code that unlocks a LEGO Technic livery in Forza Horizon 6.

Mechanical features you can see working

Lift the bonnet and the V10 engine's pistons move as the car rolls. A working differential sits at the rear axle, and both the doors and the bonnet open on hinges.

These are the details that separate Technic from standard brick-built cars: the mechanisms are meant to be operated and inspected, not just looked at.

Key features

• V10 engine with moving pistons
• Working rear differential
• Opening bonnet and doors
• Prominent rear spoiler
• Forza Horizon 6 livery unlock code included

About the Forza Horizon 6 code

A redemption code inside the box unlocks a LEGO Technic livery in Forza Horizon 6. A copy of the game is required to use it, and the publisher's terms apply. Treat it as a bonus rather than a core reason to buy.

Who this set suits

A good bridge for a child moving from LEGO City vehicles into Technic engineering, and equally suited to an adult who wants a shorter build than the flagship Technic supercars. It sits alongside the Ferrari 488 Pista (42235) at the same scale and price point if you want a matching pair.

Comparison with the Ferrari 488 Pista

The Viper and the Ferrari 488 Pista (42235) sit at the same price and scale, but they are not interchangeable. The Viper has the more involved drivetrain with its working differential; the Ferrari carries more surface detailing and is rated a year younger.
