The 1:1 replica comes after the launch of the 1:8 scale Lego Technic Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 last year. It uses 154 different types of Lego elements, including 20 moulded specifically for this project and weighs 2,200 kg.

The collaboration between the two companies’ designers, engineers and technicians, took a team of 15 people, 8,660 hours of development work and construction. The chassis is identical to the real-life Sian, measuring 4,980 mm in length, 2,101 mm in width and 1,133 mm in height. The body panels comprise of an intricate fabric of interconnecting hexagonal Lego Technic elements, paying homage to the six-sided shape that is integral to Lamborghini’s design language.

The Sian name, means ‘flash’ or ‘lightning’ in the Bolognese dialect. Lego has ensured that the lights, which have been built entirely from Technic elements, and the lightning bolt that flashes along the body, reflect how the real Sian’s epsilon headlights and hexagonal taillights power up and down. Inside the cockpit there is a brick-built steering wheel featuring the Lamborghini emblem and Italian flag, Lego built dashboard controls and racing seats.

This is the first large-scale model from the Lego Group to have a paintbrush-effect UV colour coating. The colour, which is a perfect match to the 1:8 scale Lego Technic model, was applied by Lamborghini’s paint shop.

The model has been rebuilt in a virtual Lego workshop to give Lamborghini enthusiasts and Lego fans the chance to get up close and personal with the full-scale version. Viewers can get behind the wheel of the 1:8 scale edition before being ‘transformed’ along with the model into the full-scale replica. They can sit virtually in the driver’s seat and hear from the Lamborghini and Lego Group designers who made this model a reality.

They had also built a full size Ford Explorer about a decade ago. Image taken from google images:

I guess the prices of these 1:1 Lego cars are as painful as stepping on a Lego block.
