Lego Icons introduces an impressive addition with the Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole. Set to release on July 4 for $179.99, this model is not just a toy but a detailed representation of the legendary supercar. With 1,506 pieces, it offers a rewarding building experience and a stunning display piece.
Lego's Lamborghini Countach measures 6.5 inches wide, 13 inches long, and 3.5 inches high. The model includes working scissor doors and a detailed cabin with functional steering. Additionally, the front trunk opens, and the rear hood reveals the intricately designed V-12 engine bay, mirroring the real supercar’s features.
The real Lamborghini Countach, produced from 1974 to 1990, gained fame for its wedge-shaped design. In 1985, Lamborghini introduced the 5000 Quattrovalvole, which featured a 5.2-liter engine with four valves per cylinder. This Lego model captures the essence of the 1985 version, offering enthusiasts a chance to own a piece of automotive history in miniature form.
Lamborghini resurrected the Countach in 2021 as a hybrid V-12 hypercar, producing 803 horsepower. Inspired by the early Countach LP400, the modern version quickly sold out its limited run of 112 units. For those who missed out, the Lego Countach provides a more accessible way to celebrate this iconic car.
Lego Insiders can purchase the Lamborghini Countach kit starting July 1, while the general public can buy it from July 4. Priced at $179.99, it’s designed for builders 18 years and older, making it a perfect addition for adult Lego enthusiasts and car collectors alike.
The Lego Lamborghini Countach is more than just a model; it’s a tribute to one of the most iconic supercars ever made. With its detailed design, functional features, and nostalgic appeal, it’s a must-have for car enthusiasts and Lego fans who appreciate engineering excellence and automotive history.
