It is the larger of the two mid-size Technic sports cars released in August 2026, and carries more racing detail across the bodywork than its stablemate. Like the Dodge Viper GTS-R, it ships with a Forza Horizon 6 livery unlock code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSteering and drivetrain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car uses hand-of-god steering, meaning a knob on the roof turns the front wheels directly. It is a simple mechanism, but it makes the steering geometry visible in a way a hidden rack would not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA replica engine sits behind the cabin, in keeping with the mid-engine layout of the real 488 Pista.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-of-god steering via a roof-mounted control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplica mid-mounted engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRacing lines and detailing across the bodywork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClassic Ferrari red colour scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForza Horizon 6 livery unlock code included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated 9+, this is one of the more approachable Technic car builds.

Apply them on\na flat surface with clean, dry hands, and position each one before pressing down, since they do not\nreposition cleanly once fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LEGO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47967848104114,"sku":"42235","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/8516\/6258\/files\/LEGO_Technic_-_Ferrari_488_Pista_Car_42235.png?v=1788262718","url":"https:\/\/discounttoyco.com.au\/products\/lego%c2%ae-technic-ferrari-488-pista-car-42235","provider":"Discount Toy Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
