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

In terms of build details, there are some nice easter eggs here - with Lamborghini's trademark doors (although they don't actually move all the way up in the finished model), and the central fin made of a sail or blade, mounted cleverly using offset plates and tiles. 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. This particular Huracan model is based on the 2019 Lamborghini Squadra Corse 'Collectors Edition' race car, available for customer race series. More manuals of Lego Frequently Asked Questions about Lego set 76899 Speed Champions Lamborghini Urus ST-X & Lamborghini Hura Few vehicles rival the recognition of the Lamborghini Countach and this rendition is incredibly accurate! The shaping most closely resembles the LP500 S and looks fantastic, capturing the sharp angles and sweeping curvature associated with this subject. Furthermore, the length of 15cm seems reasonable alongside other Speed Champions cars, while the white colour looks marvellous too.

On to the model itself, there's quite a bit of front to rear rake, with a super long wheelbase and chunky 30.4x14 LEGO tyres on the wheels (almost reminiscent of the Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race set).

Urus ST-X

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. 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. 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 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. 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.

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. We'll definitely be looking forward to that, and whether we're going to see any Speed Champions re-releases to match. 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. 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.

Reference

I'm sure many would rather have seen the Huracan in a street version, but we'll have to wait and see what LEGO do in terms of re-releasing any of these vehicles in cheaper sets.

The rear wing/spoiler on the model is adjustable and the hinged front also does double duty as a bonnet vent, looking aggressive. 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. We won't talk about it in any detail, but there's a basic Start/Finish line gantry included which is very similar to what we've seen in other sets through the years. Huracán Super Trofeo EVO The model uses the standard new Speed Champions chassis and wheel mounts and uses a hinged front to replicate Lamborghini's trademark low, slanted front design style. Simple clips support the 2x2 curved slopes underneath, which feature the same angle. These panels envelop trans-red 1x1 cones, recreating the unusual light clusters located at the rear of the Lamborghini Countach. They look absolutely brilliant and the exhausts are equally accurate, but can be dislodged quite easily. The wing is impressive too, but can be removed if you prefer.

Huracán Super Trofeo EVO

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. Both the Huracan and its bigger brother, the Aventador, are relatively long in the tooth and surprising to see in the Speed Champions line. There are two instruction manuals present, so two people are able to build the two vehicles in parallel which is a nice touch.
