LEGO Lamborghini Countach (10337): Icons-Set in July?

It has happened many times that certain cars have made it into the LEGO series in different sizes, but fans of sports cars should be especially excited about this rumor: In July, the famous Lamborghini Countach is set to appear as a LEGO Icons model with more than 1,500 pieces. We summarize the information so far in this article.

The Countach is seen by many fans of the brand as the epitome of THE Lamborghini, which has had a lasting impact on the brand’s style and, with its special, angular design, does not have to hide behind today’s models. Since the model was already very successful at the time and was produced for a long time, there really is no such thing as a “one” Countach. Instead, different generations came on the market from 1974 to 1990, which were basically technically advanced, but also slightly different in terms of design. The Countach model is celebrating its 50th birthday this year, which could be the deciding factor for the next LEGO model. What version this might be will soon be discussed.

Expected set dates for the LEGO Lamborghini Countach

But first, let’s take a look at the “hard facts” that have been leaked about the set so far. As always, if the set has not yet been officially announced, these are rumors – remember the request. Like the familiar one Brick Clicker reported, LEGO Math 1506 for you includes, on 1 July 2024 they go on sale and have an MSRP of $179.99 US – $10 more than the Porsche 911 and Camaro Z28, which were priced the same in Germany as in the USA. It is owed LEGO Lamborghini Countach will also be available in this country 179,99 Euros cost.

Appearance and pattern setting

The car is very popular in the color finish that was also modeled on the LEGO 76908 Lamborghini Countach set from the “Champions of Speed” series. Clear white. Also of LEGO Icons Countach must for that in white appear.

There is even the first leaked image showing the rear of the car. What speaks for its originality is that new molds were used to build the lamp part, which was previously not available from LEGO. The new part can also be used for another special feature of the original, the very wide rear wheels, which are LEGO tires 40.5 x 30. However, this is not entirely clear. It’s also not entirely clear what the specific model will be. According to the leak, the LEGO Countach will have flared wheel arches and a large rear wing, both of which indicate one of the later variants, i.e. the LP 400S or later, which entered the market from 1978.

Since a bull can be seen below the Lamborghini logo on the rear of the leak, the 500S is probably more likely if you look at the common rear designs of both generations in the images. But as we all know, LEGO sometimes doesn’t take details like this very seriously, and this design may also have been used on the LP 400S – if you know more about this, please feel free to comment.

MOC based on LEGO Porsche 911

It is well known and brought to play again and again due to current rumors MOC out firas_legocars on Rebrickable, which makes it possible to rebuild the Countach LP 5000 S Quattrovalvole, i.e. the 1985 version with four valves per V12 cylinder, only from parts of the LEGO Icons 10295 Porsche 911 Turbo and Targa set. It is said that due to the long-term availability of the Porsche kit and the associated discounts, the MOC (the predecessor of which can be purchased for $15 from Rebrickable) could potentially represent a better alternative. Whether this is the case remains to be seen, of course, but if the leaked image is true, it is already clear that the upcoming Lamborghini Countach from LEGO will be more detailed and at least the rear end will be closer. nature. So let’s move on to the official photos! If you already own a Porsche, you’ll find a couple of MOC images below – which is a great achievement anyway. Perhaps one or the other would like to shorten the waiting period until July. 😉 Pictures are coming out Builder’s Flickr profilewhere you can also find many other chic creations yourself.

Conclusion

After the recent examples of car combinations in Icons – especially the Corvette (LEGO 10321), which, to put it better, caused mixed reactions among fans – LEGO 10337 Lamborghini Countach from the Icons series can once again become a set with cult potential . . The fact that there is currently a smaller version in the series, the “Speed ​​Champions” model, can also provide the joy of building a family together. Now it just remains to be seen if the set will be able to justify the slightly higher RRP of less than 180 euros compared to its predecessors of the same scope – for example by having important graphic design elements as branding. However, it will be a while before we know this, because with a release date in early July, an official announcement is usually not expected for more than a month. Until then, we and you can look forward to the fact that the Lamborghini Countach, a real car classic, can reach LEGO Icons.

But how do you see that? Would you be happy to see a LEGO Lamborghini Count in the Icons series? Have you already seen the leak and think the set is promising? Which generation do you think LEGO chose for that model? Feel free to share ideas in the comments section.
