THE CLASSIC LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH IS NOW AVAILABLE IN LEGO

The Lamborghini Countach has become the latest supercar to receive the Lego Icon treatment. 

For those who couldn’t stretch to Lamborghini’s recent, limited-edition remake of the Countach, this brick-built version is a more affordable alternative. 

The original Countach joins the likes of the classic Land Rover Defender and Porsche 911 as a Lego replica model.

An iconic supercar

Lego hasn’t chosen just any version of the Countach to transform into a scale model, but has gone all-out on 1980s excess. The 1,500-piece Lego Icons Lamborghini is based on the Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole, launched in 1985.

As a result, the Lego Countach features a gigantic rear wing, flared wheelarches and a set of deep-dished alloy wheels. On the inside, bold red seats contrast with the retro white exterior. 

Standard features include the iconic scissor doors, an opening front trunk and a flip-up engine cover. Beneath the latter is a detailed version of the Countach’s naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V12 engine.

Not exactly child’s play

Intended to be challenging but rewarding models to build, the Lego Icons range is aimed at adults – rather than childen.

The new Countach is a sizable creation, too, measuring around 34cm (13 inches) in length and 16cm (6.5 inches) across.

Enthusiasts will be able to purchase the Lego Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole from 4 July 2024. The model’s recommended retail price is £159.99.
