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

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.

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.

Overall

The rear wing/spoiler on the model is adjustable and the hinged front also does double duty as a bonnet vent, looking aggressive. We'll definitely be looking forward to that, and whether we're going to see any Speed Champions re-releases to match. 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. Other Lamborghini partners feature on the bodywork and the (adjustable) rear spoiler (Oppo, Pertamina and Fastron). 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.

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.

Minifigure

The model itself has a cool looking long sloped roof, complete with spoiler, which lifts off easily to reveal the interior. 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. 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. Both the Huracan and its bigger brother, the Aventador, are relatively long in the tooth and surprising to see in the Speed Champions line.
