LEGO 76908 Speed Champions Lamborghini Countach, Race Car Toy Model Replica & 76906 Speed Champions 1970 Ferrari 512 M Sports Red Race Car Toy, Collectible Model Building Set

Product Information

For Lamborghini fans in particular, the party isn't over this year - with LEGO announcing their upcoming release of a Technic Lamborghini Ultimate Creator Series (1:8) set coming out in the first half of 2020. Of course the Urus is here because of commercial/contractual reasons with LEGO and Lamborghini - it's unlikely too many people were crying out for a Speed Champions Urus. The model itself has a cool looking long sloped roof, complete with spoiler, which lifts off easily to reveal the interior.

Both the Huracan and its bigger brother, the Aventador, are relatively long in the tooth and surprising to see in the Speed Champions line.Before 8-wide models became the norm this year, we'd previously seen SUVs released in Speed Champions being this size and shape, notably the Ford F150 Raptor from 2016.

Unfortunately, their inclusion was impossible because the windows needed to remain static, so excluding the opening doors was sensible. The interior is instead accessible by detaching the windscreen, revealing red leather inside! This vibrant colour absolutely suits the ostentatious Countach and there is space for two minifigures, as usual. There are two instruction manuals present, so two people are able to build the two vehicles in parallel which is a nice touch. With 663 pieces this is a substantial set, especially when you consider the move to avoid lots of accessories with Speed Champions sets going forward. We'll definitely be looking forward to that, and whether we're going to see any Speed Champions re-releases to match.

The gold wing mirrors are a really good touch, this is another 2020 model that's gained wing mirrors with the additional level of detail. We've actually seen these wheels before, on the '74 911 Turbo, but here some wheel trims make the wheels look much bigger and in proportion to the Urus. Naturally we'd have preferred to see a Lamborghini Aventador SV or a legendary, classic such as the Diablo or the Countach. The set was provided for review by LEGO.

This Lamborghini set and the Nissan GT-R NISMO are some of the most desired and wishlisted Speed Champions models, so to see them both this year is a real step forward for the line. The windscreen component is printed and captures the shape of the Lamborghini Countach's windscreen nicely. However, the colour matching between this decoration and the surrounding white elements is awful. The absence of opening scissor doors is perhaps disappointing as well, but the Speed Champions design manager, Christopher Stamp, has divulged that scissor doors were attempted during development.

The Lamborghini Huracan itself has been around for some time, first shown in Geneva in 2014, and this is the first time we're seeing it in LEGO. People have had high expectations for the addition of Lamborghini to Speed Champions and the sleek, well proportioned model made possible by the new 8 wide format really does it justice As is normal for these new, 25% larger sets, there are multiple bags of pieces per vehicle, so this set ends up with quite a few. With the Urus, the front splitter design is great and side by side with the actual vehicle it really replicates how aggressive it looks and how high it sits off the ground. One thing I would have liked to see is LEGO matching the real life car and maybe putting some extra details in.

It's hard to be upset once you've bought this set, both models offer an interesting build and really great sets to play with or display once you're finished.It doesn't use the standard wheel mounting that we've seen on other models and there's a lot of effort gone into scaling the 8-wide design language up to a larger vehicle.

This particular Huracan model is based on the 2019 Lamborghini Squadra Corse 'Collectors Edition' race car, available for customer race series.
