Keep in mind
- Brickset's reviewer notes weak color matching on the doors

How we reviewed it
What owners say.
- 2 positive
Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
Brickset's reviewer says the car recreates the film's time machine with very few compromises and counts the two minifigures and many printed parts as strong value. They note the side windows should be steeper and gaps show at the windscreen. LEGO supplied the set.
A Brickset member building their first Speed Champions set found it compact, intricate and easy to follow, and thought swapping the wheel connectors for flying mode was a simple, clever compromise.
