Purple is the colour of rarity. In the automotive world, it's not a shade you see on every driveway — it's reserved for the bold, the unconventional, the builders who don't follow the crowd. BR10617 takes that rarity and locks it into 3,224 precision ABS bricks. An electroplated metallic-purple body with a fluorescent-green cockpit isn't just a colour scheme; it's a statement. The doors don't swing out like a standard coupe — they rise. The pistons don't sit still — they move with the wheels. The rear wing doesn't stay fixed — it adjusts by hand, or motorises with the RC kit. This is a building set for those who understand that a supercar is as much about the engineering inside as the silhouette outside.

🟣 What Is BR10617?

BR10617 is a 3,224-piece 1:8 scale concept supercar in a limited electroplated metallic purple finish — an outstanding metal lustre set against a black internal mechanical frame and fluorescent-green cockpit accents for an immersive racing look. The butterfly doors open by linkage — manually by hand, or electrically with the optional RC Power Kit. The adjustable rear wing has a mechanical transmission that lets you raise and lower it by hand, or motorise it for auto retraction. The engine linkage means the pistons move in sync as the wheels roll, simulating a running engine. And the four-wheel suspension — independent shock absorbers front and rear — gives the model a planted, responsive feel. At 58 cm (22.8 in) long, it captures the low, streamlined silhouette of a modern hypercar.

🦋 Butterfly Doors & Engine Linkage – Mechanical Authenticity on the Static Set
The BR10617's signature features are all mechanical on the static model. The butterfly doors open by linkage — no batteries needed. The rear wing adjusts by hand through a mechanical transmission. The engine's pistons move in sync with the wheels when you roll the model. This is pure mechanical engineering in brick form, before you even consider the RC upgrade.

🟣 Design & Mechanical Detail

🏗️ Hypercar Styling & Mechanical Engineering
  • Electroplated metallic-purple finish – outstanding metal lustre with a premium, limited-edition look
  • Fluorescent-green cockpit accents – bold contrast against the purple body for immersive racing aesthetics
  • Butterfly doors – iconic doors open and close by linkage — by hand now, or electrically once the power kit is fitted
  • Adjustable rear wing – big rear wing with a mechanical transmission — raise and lower it by hand, or motorise it for auto retraction
  • Engine linkage – the pistons move in sync as the wheels roll, simulating a running engine
  • Four-wheel suspension – independent shock absorbers front and rear — press the body and it rebounds
  • Full gear transmission – the chassis recreates the gear drivetrain, so it rolls smoothly when pushed

Racing Detail

Racing wheels, drilled brake discs, decals, a display number, intake grilles and exhaust pipes throughout — every visual detail reinforces the track-inspired design.

Pure mechanical authenticity: The standard set is a fully functional static model – butterfly doors, adjustable wing, engine linkage and suspension all work by hand. No batteries needed for the core mechanical experience.

⚠️ Safety & Care

⚠️ Product Information

Safety warning: Contains small parts – choking hazard. Not suitable for children under 14. Keep loose parts away from infants and toddlers. All bricks are made from non-toxic ABS material intended for adult-oriented model construction.

Care: The electroplated purple parts have a special surface coating — avoid heavy scraping during assembly to prevent paint peeling. Handle the butterfly door linkages gently — they are designed to operate smoothly, not to be forced. Dust with a soft dry cloth and keep out of prolonged direct sun to protect the finish. If you add the RC kit, remove the AAA batteries for long-term storage.

❓ Real Questions, Straight Answers

What builders ask before choosing this electroplated purple supercar.

“Do the butterfly doors open on the static model?”

Yes. The butterfly doors open by linkage on the static model — no batteries needed. They are hinged and stay open at any angle. The RC kit adds motorised operation for remote control, but the manual mechanism remains fully functional.

“Does the rear wing move without the RC kit?”

Yes. The rear wing has a mechanical transmission — you can raise and lower it by hand on the static model. The RC kit adds a motorized version for auto retraction and extension via remote.

“Do the pistons really move when I roll the car?”

Yes. The engine linkage is mechanically connected to the rear wheels. When you push the car manually, the pistons cycle up and down inside the engine block, simulating a running engine. It works on the static set with no batteries.

“What's included in the RC Power Kit?”

The separately sold RC Power Kit includes 2× XL motors, 1× L motor, 2× M motors, 1× steering servo, motor extension wires, and a 2.4G multi-function remote. It unlocks electric butterfly doors, a motorized rear wing, and RC driving. Batteries are not included — you need 6× AAA for the motors and 2× AAA for the remote.

“Is the electroplated purple finish fragile?”

The electroplated purple parts have a special surface coating for a premium metallic lustre. Avoid heavy scraping during assembly to prevent paint peeling. Handle with care, dust with a soft dry cloth, and keep out of prolonged direct sun.

“How difficult is the build at 3,224 pieces?”

High difficulty – recommended for experienced builders aged 14+. The engine linkage, butterfly door mechanism and adjustable wing are the most technically rewarding parts. The numbered bags and full-colour illustrated manual keep each phase manageable. Estimated build time is 15–22 hours.

“What if a piece is missing or damaged?”

Within 48 hours of delivery, send us a short unboxing video and clear photos to admin@brickroyal.com. We'll replace any confirmed missing or damaged parts free of charge – no need to return the set. We want every builder to complete their purple supercar.

“Is it stable enough for a display shelf?”

Absolutely. The assembled model measures 58 × 26 × 15 cm – a substantial presence. The chassis is solid and rigid, built with ABS material and multiple cross-locking structures, so it provides stable support during normal display. The low stance and wide track allow stable placement on any flat surface.

“Can I open the doors manually without breaking the mechanism?”

Yes – the butterfly doors are designed to open and close smoothly by hand via their mechanical linkage. They are hinged and stay open at any angle. Don't force them beyond their intended range – the mechanism is robust but designed for gentle operation.

“How do I know which RC kit is compatible?”

The BR10617 RC Power Kit is designed specifically for this model. It includes all motors, servo, remote, and wiring needed. For custom setups, contact admin@brickroyal.com for compatibility guidance.
