Poor value

#56 of 66 Technic sets with 500–999 pieces

This licensed Audi is motorized, and motors cost a lot but add few pieces, so it scores poorly: about 46 pieces per $10, less than half the typical 104 for mid-size Technic sets, and roughly a third less plastic per dollar. Builders rate it 4.1 of 5, but at $179.99 it costs about 78% more than similar contents.

Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.

Motors and hubs explain much of the gap.
