The LEGO Technic theme releases an abundance of vehicles every single year but not many of them are tailored to be either on or underwater. Luckily, along with a range of supercars, trucks and another space-themed vehicle, a brand new water-themed vehicle is also releasing on the 1st of August 2024. In particular, this is 42174 Emirates Team New Zealand AC75 Yacht which includes a total of 962 pieces for a heavy retail price of $119.99.
The release of 42174 Emirates Team New Zealand AC75 Yacht coincides with the 37th America's Cup that takes place in just over a months time. New Zealand's yacht for this year is the AC75 which has been beautifully translated into brick-built LEGO form for a high price of $120. The water-based model measures 68 cm high, 56 cm long and 33 cm wide with two large printed sails being the main reasons for this tall 18+ model.
The main build of the yacht is mainly black and red but plenty of stickers are included to create some light blue lines and to showcase the sponsors. One of the reasons for the high price, along with the two printed sails, is the pneumatic feature. By turning the crank on the display stand, this feature allows the foil arms on both sides of the racing yacht to be raised. This provides plenty of stability and speed to the brick-built yacht.
