LEGO are no strangers when it comes to collaborations with car brands, our favourite being the full-size drivable Bugatti Chiron made entirely from LEGO Technic. This time the toy brick company has teamed up with the raging bull to create a pretty accurate replica of the new Sián Hybrid supercar.
Revealed at Frankfurt Auto Show in 2019, the Lamborghini Sián’s futuristic features are recreated in this LEGO Technic model, including a replica of the V12 engine, a moveable rear spoiler, front and rear suspension and steering powered by the actual LEGO steering wheel which has a Lamborghini badge on it.
The model also comes with the iconic scissor doors, which open to reveal the intricately recreated interior, with a fully-functioning eight-speed sequential gearbox controlled by a movable paddle gearshifters.
The LEGO model comes in the vivid lime-green body colour and golden rims which are available on the real Sián. At 1:8 the size of the real deal, when assembled the model measures in at 13 cm high, 60 cm long and 25 cm wide making it the perfect project for young and old.
Niels. B. Christiansen, LEGO Group CEO said that the new LEGO creation well and truly encapsulates the pursuit of excellence of both Lamborghini and LEGO DNA.
“Both the 1:8 model and the reveal itself are feats of engineering innovation, pulled off by incredibly talented teams from across our two businesses. The LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 is a true testament that with LEGO Technic, you can build anything your heart desires. I can’t wait to build this authentic replica of this futuristic super sportscar for real.”
Model owners can open the bonnet of their LEGO Lambo to find a Lamborghini overnight bag, as well as a unique serial number that unlocks special online content. Owners can also scan a QR code in the building instructions to access an exclusive series of videos by Lamborghini and LEGO experts, exploring the inspiration behind the design of the original car and the LEGO Technic model.
The LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 will set you back $569.99 and will be available to buy at LEGO stores and online from 1 June.
