This is the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 built with 400,000 Lego Technic pieces

If you thought the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 in Lego Technic was for kids, you were mistaken. Now, Lamborghini and Lego Technic have put it on display, and you can see how more than 400,000 pieces were used. Its creators have noted that it took 5,370 euros to develop, as well as 3,290 hours of production. That means the car took almost 224 days to complete and is made from 154 different types of Lego Technic pieces, including 20 that were moulded specifically for this model.

This was quite an effort, and it was built by “15 specialists in design, engineering and construction from the Lego team” in the Czech Republic. Their work was made easier by the fact that this is the first Lego model to use a hexagonal shape to form the vehicle’s outer shell, which better captures the lines of the road model.

The special touches don’t stop there, as the scale model features front and rear light clusters made entirely of Lego Technic pieces. In addition, the car received a “paint-effect coating” using official Lamborghini paint, which promises to help the scale model keep its pristine look for the foreseeable future.

The end result is an impressive work of art that weighs 2,200 kg, which is actually more than the road car, which tipped the scales at 1,595 kg. It’s also worth noting that the interior was not overlooked, as it features sports seats and a full flat-bottomed steering wheel with a Lamborghini badge.

The 1:1 scale model will be on display at the Museo Automobili Lamborghini in Sant’Agata Bolognese until 6 October, and Lego’s Lena Dixen has assured us that “our designers love challenges, so you can imagine how delighted they were when we asked them to work on this model and look at things on a slightly bigger scale than usual”.
