Lego has been making very successful collection sets lately, and in our previous news, we came across with some Marvel Lego sets, special set news about DC, Ghostbusters or other movies. The LEGO Technic side of the company, on the other hand, comes up with much more extreme examples.

Life-size Lego Lamborghini Sián FKP 37
A total of over 400,000 LEGO® Technic™ bricks, over 154 disparate pieces, were used to ensure that the model reflects the futuristic elegance and flawless silhouette of the Lamborghini Sián to the smallest detail.
Tuna Canatar, Marketing Director of LEGO® Turkey, Greece and Israel: “It is very precious for us to host the LEGO® Technic™ Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 in Istanbul. A special team of 15 designers, engineers and construction specialists worked 8,660 hours in Kladno, Czech Republic, for this life-size model weighing more than 2 tons. This is serious teamwork that requires tremendous creativity. “I believe we present a great opportunity for both LEGO® lovers and sports car enthusiasts.”
Pioneering Design
While the exterior of this super-realistic model is based on the six-sided shape, which plays an important role in Lamborghini’s design language; It mirrors the iconic hexagonal taillights and exhaust design of the Italian sports car.
Embellished with details, this model reflects the stylish design of the Lamborghini Sián down to its finest detail. The word Sían means “flash” or “lightning” in Bolognese, so experts from the LEGO® Group worked specifically to make the life-size model exactly mirror the car’s epsilon headlights and hexagonal taillights. Also worth seeing is the LEGO® Technic™ Lamborghini Sián FKP 37’s steering wheel decorated with the famous Lamborghini emblem and Italian flag, as well as the LEGO® brick instrument panel.
The color of the life-size LEGO® Technic™ Lamborghini model, which perfectly matches the 1:8 scale LEGO® Technic™ model, was meticulously applied to the bricks by Lamborghini’s official paint shop. UV color coating with paintbrush effect was used to ensure that the eye-catching colors of the model last a lifetime.
