Lego has taken its Speed Champions collection to new heights with the release of a stunning replica of the iconic Lamborghini Countach. Unlike the previous model, which leaned more towards being a toy, this new offering is specifically designed for adult builders and is intended to be a collector’s item.
The attention to detail in this Lego kit is truly impressive. With a total of 1,506 parts, builders can recreate a Countach that measures approximately 13 inches long, 6.5 inches wide, and 3.5 inches tall. One of the most eye-catching features of the Countach, its scissor doors, are faithfully reproduced. Opening them reveals a meticulously crafted interior complete with two seats, a wide instrument cluster featuring Lamborghini-branded gauges, and even climate control buttons on the center console. Lego has even gone so far as to include matching door panels, ensuring that every aspect of the iconic car is captured.
True to its name, Lego’s Countach replica captures the proportions and styling cues of the original car in remarkable detail. The NACA ducts on both sides, the air intakes positioned directly behind the doors, and the imposing rear spoiler are all faithfully recreated. The wider rear wheels, a defining characteristic of the Countach, are accurately represented, with the front wheels even turning when the model’s steering wheel is manipulated. And to complete the illusion of authenticity, Lego has included a replica of the 5.0-liter V12 engine that occupies the rear of the real car.
This highly anticipated Lego set is set to hit shelves worldwide on July 4th and will retail for $180 excluding tax. While this may seem steep for a Lego model, it’s important to consider the value it provides. The level of detail and accuracy in this replica is truly exceptional and is sure to appeal to both Lego enthusiasts and car aficionados alike. When compared to the cost of owning a real Lamborghini Countach, which can easily exceed half a million dollars, the price tag becomes even more reasonable.
Lego’s commitment to producing high-quality and detailed replicas of iconic cars has made them a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts. Their collaboration with Lamborghini to bring the Countach to life in brick form is a testament to their dedication to craftsmanship. The release of this new Lego set is poised to delight fans of both Lego and Lamborghini, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive history at a fraction of the cost.
