Lamborghini in collaboration with LEGO has built a life-size replica of the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, using over 400,000 LEGO® Technic™ elements. The 2,200 kg model is created by using 154 different types of LEGO elements, including 20 moulded. This is the first large-scale model from LEGO to have a paintbrush-effect UV color coating. The same from the 1:8 scale LEGO Technic model was applied by Automobili Lamborghini’s paint shop.
It took a team of 15 people between the two companies’ designers, engineers and technicians, a total of 8,660 hours of development and construction. The body panels are comprised of an intricate fabric of bespoke interconnecting hexagonal LEGO Technic elements, paying homage to the six-sided shape that is integral to Lamborghini’s design language.
The lights were built from Technic elements featuring hexagonal taillights power up and down. Inside the cockpit the detail continues with a brick-built steering wheel featuring the Lamborghini emblem and Italian flag, LEGO built dashboard controls and racing seats.
