The 2022 Ford GT is a supercar with a story behind it — designed to honor Ford’s legendary Le Mans victories while pushing modern performance engineering to its limits. Set 42154 brings it into 1:12 scale with 1,468 pieces, and the result is a Technic build that looks as good on a shelf as it does mid-build on the table.

Unboxing and First Impressions
The numbered bags are well organized, and the instruction booklet is clear and well laid out from the start. The piece selection immediately signals that this is going to be a detail-focused build. There are plenty of specialized Technic components mixed in with the body panel pieces, and you can tell early on that the finished model is going to have real mechanical substance underneath its exterior.
The Build
The build begins with the internal chassis and powertrain, and this is where the Technic depth comes through. A V6 engine with moving pistons sits at the heart of the model, connected to a rear-wheel drivetrain with a working differential. The front axle features proper steering, and independent suspension runs on all four wheels, giving the finished model a realistic range of movement when you push it across a surface. The mechanical systems are all interconnected in a way that makes the model feel cohesive rather than gimmicky.
Exterior Features
The bodywork of the Ford GT comes together in stages, and the low, wide profile of the real car translates well to this scale. Both doors open, the hood lifts to reveal the engine bay, and the adjustable spoiler wing on the rear can be positioned to suit your preference. The headlight detailing is clean and accurate, and the overall shape captures the aggressive, sculpted look of the 2022 GT without feeling boxy or compromised by the brick medium.
Final Assembly and Display
At 1:12 scale, the finished model measures 15 inches long, 7 inches wide, and 3.5 inches high. It’s a wide, low car on the shelf, which is exactly how the real GT presents itself. The proportions are faithful and the model has a presence that stands out even among other Technic cars. It’s the kind of thing you build once and then find yourself picking up regularly just to appreciate the engineering that went into it.
Final Thoughts
LEGO Technic 42154 2022 Ford GT is a well-rounded Technic build that delivers on both aesthetics and mechanical depth. The moving engine, working suspension, adjustable wing, and opening panels give it plenty to interact with, and the 1:12 scale makes it a substantial display piece. Ford fans will love the accuracy, and Technic fans will appreciate the engineering underneath.
At $119.99 it’s a strong value for what you get, and it holds up as one of the better car builds in the current Technic lineup. I have seen it for a lower cost at various stores, so if you’re interested in this set, keep an eye on sale prices!
