LEGO seems committed to generate new needs in adults who love the world of motors. The company specialized in toys made with blocks has always been very popular among children, but for years it has been making creations related to the automotive industry and seeking a larger audience. After seeing some like the Bugatti Chiron or the Land Rover Defender, now it's the turn of a piece of Italian history. Its about LEGO Lamborghini Countach 5000 QVwhich goes on sale in the coming days.
It is a reinterpretation in blocks of that mid-engine sports car that the Sant'Agata firm launched in the mid-70s. The original stood out for its design, which was what led Ferrucio Lamborghini to name it with a term that denotes amazement and that separated itself from the tradition of bullfighting. Among all its versions, one of the most special was the 5000 Quattrovalvole, which had cylinder heads with four valves for each cylinder of the V12which also reached up to 5.2 liters and improved its power.
Today we are not here to talk about the benefits of the Countach in reality. Nor to see that example reinterpreted by Lamborghini that has increased its legacy. Now it's time to review the scale block replica, which has a length of 34 cm and a height of 9 cm. Enter the LEGO Icons collection and stands out for its level of detail. So much so that it includes fully mobile scissor doors, a steering that is functional or an engine cover that reveals a fairly reliable V12.
This Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV is not missing some of its most characteristic components such as the wheels, the rear spoiler or a red cabin. That is why it is positioned as the definitive adult toy, which can be purchased by the general public starting next July. This LEGO set consists of 1,506 pieces, so it can be assembled with patience by any user. He price is 179.99 eurosin an intermediate step and without reaching the positioning of other examples of the Technic series with greater size and complexity.
