Now do a Ferrari Daytona Spyder in black.

meh.

If only it came in another colour.

"**Gasp** my childhood poster car. I love it. But sad to say those wheel arches are all wrong…"

I looked at the set and thought "oof" and then I looked at the real car and now I understand. That would have been hard to do, I suspect. Yeah it still looks funky, but...I'd take it.

That car is something special, but yellowing will be total pain to watch over the years.

Yay, yet ANOTHER 18+ race car.
Who cares? Not me.

It is very nicely done. I agree it should've been in a different color, like black or red. I'll stick with smaller SC Countach I have.

I understand why they don't do black. Details would be so hard to pick out, and it's not like this is a movie car where it's very specific. Red would be good but I wish they'd done yellow.

It will be a day 1 buy for me, but man do those tires look like an awful choice

Oh so now they can get the tire proportions, right?

Wrong Tires as usual

"As an Lambo fan, this is an instant buy! Wish it was red or yellow though."

Give it time, it'll turn yellow...

I'm not convinced. Proportions seem off... And then the price...

I think it looks like a fantastic set. A different colour would've been nice, and the price is a little high, but the biggest thing preventing me from wanting to buy it is the fact it's a Lamborghini Countach :P

Looks like it doesn't have the distinctive pop-up lights.

Any white Lego set is an instant no-no unfortunately just because it will look like piss a few years later. That said, it is fine but it is too similar to the already existing 911 alternative build.

I'm OK with it being white. As @dimc pointed out, in black the details would be harder to see. And let us not forget, Lego has trouble with colour consistency, most noticeable in red and yellow.

Baby blue?

Top of the doors are a little 'chunky', but 'it is what it is'/'what can you do'; but overall it does look good. It's also funny TLG stuck with white for the color, mirroring with 'junior':)

Ok, you can do it out of town. But, not here on BS.

This isn't a 180€ set.
I'll still get it though, discounted of course. Already got the little Speed Champions version.
Tyre sidewalls are way too thick though. LEGO just can't get tyres right, can they?

@Huw , the link from the beginning of article is just broken.

Must have just like Speed Champions. I immediately remember Leo crawling through the stairs to this car.

That one looks so much better imho. Thanks for sharing.

On the official one so many of the proportions look totally off to me. The far too large taillights in particular, but also the wheel arches, as well as the angle of the bonnet, which looks to steep.

I must admit I'd rather buy those MOC instructions on Rebrickable, or the black unofficial Cannonball Run version from the alternative brand that must not be named. At least there I can also get the matching police car from the opening credits, as well as the ambulance from J. J. and Victor.

These cars used be around the €100 mark…

Enjoy it being yellow in 2-3 years

Agree 100%!

But is it as good as 76908?

White AGAIN???!!! How unimaginative.

I think overall it looks decent. I do really like that MOC version from the Porsche. I had considered buying a second Porsche to build that. So do I stick with the official version or skip it altogether?

White does seem to be the iconic color for this car, so I understand. In recent past they did a black Camaro and a red Corvette, so another color could have been welcome. Didn't they do a large technic one in lime green or orange or something? That could have been neat (but the other color that the technic one wasn't).

$180 is steep for me these days, so I'll put it on the backburner and see how I feel when I gather funds for other sets first.

If stored properly it will be white. I recently bought a used 6929. It is a 1981 set and has no yellowing and all parts are original.

While I understand the concerns about the use of white from a longevity perspective, it's arguably the most appropriate colour for the 5000 QV IMHO. I think they also came in red (which would have been a good alternative although maybe a bit too "Ferrari"), black (not great for showing off the bodywork) and yellow, plus a bunch of "special request" colours."

Give it enough time, and it will be yellow!"

Forget it, Style. It's Bricksetown.

I would get this and display it in the sunniest place possible to turn it to various shades of yellowed white.

I'll certainly wait until after instructions are available and see how much I can pull from my inventory to make a red one before buying this at full price. Hoping there are not too many "appears in 1 set" pieces.

Those are also the colors of the Lego logo so if they pull a Fiat I hope they do all

I'll eventually get it but not at that insane price

Alright, Rabrickzel, I suppose you can do my move in Bricksetown (also known as Bricksetwestshirenoughtington in its native UK).

Ohhhhh, it transforms- from pristine bluish-white to something that looks like it spent too much time in a pub's water closet.

I'm loving all this white color bashing. I suppose to many of us have had a bad experience.

I just discovered that my 75187 is going to need a lot of part replacement. Looks like it spent too much time on Jakku! In reality, it has NEVER been in the sun. At least the funky parts are easily replaced.

Rear lights are a bit big, but otherwise a very faithful recreation. Not a day 1 for me, once it gets a decent discount.

Was recently thinking about what the next Icons car would be and hoped that if it wasn't a Dodge (Challenger would be nice in orange) then I'd want it to be this. How lucky?!

Nothing that some hydrogen peroxide, Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White and sunlight can’t fix.

My 10295 lives in the basement and looks great. I was just thinking that after 10317, the only other thing necessary for my ‘80s/90s garage was a Countach, and here we are.

Although this looks good, I would have liked its predecessor, the Miura, even more... Always one of my favourite Matchbox cars!

I love the car but I have the speed champion version and it's just fine. Comes with a minifigure, too.

Alternative build of 10295 is Countach
https://www.brickfanatics.com/rebuilding-lego-porsche-911-lamborghini

I hope the product photos are off... because it looks like a stubby parody of the real car. Firas on rebrickable made a very decent alternative model that had a better hood/frunk than this messy front end. Let's hope a good MOD will be available soon after release. Also the length and wheelbase look way off when i compare the real car and the schematic on the back of this box. Lego usually get's those dimensions quite close.

Ha! I'm actually currently building that fan model from Rebrickable, so no need for this one. Will only judge how much better/worse/value for money this is after finishing the one based on the 911. Does look pretty good imho.

@LDN said:

Hopefully into a white Porsche 911!

Missed opportunity, LEGO could have included a Wolf of Wallstreet DiCaprio minifig

I never knew it was a Quattrovalvole! Looks great from the rear with the light detailing really spot on to the original. Just the side looks a bit squashed to me as if hit a brick wall in the last photo. The ratio of height to length seems wrong, but maybe the original has weird relative dimensions as well.

That does look good from a distance, but literally a car crash if you zoom in at all!

It going to be like Fiat 500, first in white colour and later yellow

Some may just pretend, but there are loads of promotional freebies sent out. Reviews already available from known Brickset members. And there's always Brickset staff.

What I want to know is why the negative comments about Firas_Legocars on Rebrickable ? He designed this car from Kit 10295 Classic Porsche 911 long before the Lego version as an alternative build and it is very nice. I bought his instructions and built it from a 2nd 10295 kit I own. Just because you don’t like the way it looks in a photo doesn’t necessarily mean it is a bad design. We can say the opposite about the 1/4 pounder. Looks great on the ad but looks nothing like that when you order it.

If I had to pick another Lamborghini, it would either be the LM002, or the Espada.

I'm sure the same was once believed for tigers, foxes and people! I never expect the ultimate in accuracy from a building toy. I go with scale/die-cast models for that. One of my favourite Lego cars is 10242 even though the accuracy is, at best, vague!

It's been surpassed multiple times since it came out, but I still love 10252. Of course, I've been a fan of the Beetle for decades. I would be over the moon if a Speed Champions Herbie came out.

I agree, I have a Matchbox Beetle that I hand painted with a 53 when I was 9! Also really like 10187 ... a big fan of Lego that looks like Lego, however impractical!

Hopefully all the parts will be of a consistent and sound same white hue, with no (or not too many) subtle changes in it!

"Prices are insane. I need to sell a kidney…"

Not so sure about that. I was actually shocked to see the price as low as it is.
Star Wars or Nintendo and this would be a $300 set.

I'll be on board with a yellow re-release

No pop up headlights? For this price??? F40 has them and costs less. Also why white??? Also would have loved to have the 'periscopio' option. (Look it up.) Oh well.

There's only one car I want to see done in white and that's a submersible Lotus Esprit.
Never mind, moving on. How about a red Lancia Stratos HF Gr.4 with the rally lights?

This should be in orange and those tyres are way to thick.
Still nice...

Well then LEGO really is bringing the Lambo owning experience to the masses.

As much as i want to bash LEGO for their lower quality and ever increasing prices.. Man, that is a great looking model. Ill be getting it at some point during its run, and hating myself later.. Will just need to at least wait for double points WITH a GWP (maybe around the end of the year)
