Lego has the ferrari license. We have Ferrari Speed Champions. Can we have a Ferrari icons scale please? Testarossa (Miami Vice), 348 (magnum), or F40 would be nice options
there is an f40 its under the old creator expert line. set number 10248
Magnum is the 308GTS.
I would love to see a 288 GTO though.
@@cosmicowl1525Awesome set but very pricey second hand now. Would be sick if they remade that set with working steering. Or I guess make a similar one.
Probably to come…
Waiting for the Soeed Champions F40 that’s supposedly due later this year.
Love it from the front and back. Not keen on the side view.
Growing up I was a fan of legos and cars but I got few sets and focused only on ninjago. When I entered my dark ages I grew to love cars working on them and everything. Later I met my girlfriend and she got me the speed champions Lamborghini Lego set. It got me back into Lego
The only problem is the color, in my experience the LEGO white pieces tends to get a yellowish color over time, but not all the pieces, so you"ll end up with a car with different colors in some places
Out of curiosity, do you store your sets with white bricks near sunlight?
I've never experienced this issue before and have a number of sets with white bricks (Old lego cuusoo/Ideas Ecto 1, Speed Champions Countach and more) however they're mostly stored in a display area away from open sunlight.
White plastic turning yellow is most commonly (but not exclusively) caused due to the sun hitting the plastic and "bleaching" it thus making it turn yellow, so if you're having issues with bricks turning yellow I'd advise you to check where your sets are currently stored/displayed.
While I'm not sure how, it does seem there are fixes for it in some instances so maybe worth a shot to look it up too.
@@clockwork3494 I have lots of white pieces that have turned yellow and mine are stored in a basement with no windows. Granted the yellow ones are 10-15+ years old, but it happens to nearly every white plastic object not just Lego. Things like kitchen appliances are also subjected to this given enough time. Eventually it just turns slightly yellow, just a property of the material.
Now this is mostly damage from sunlight, but it can also be repaired with sunlight. If you make a bath of hydrogen peroxide mixed with water and put the parts submerged in it out in direct sunlight, they should restore to their original color. (this works for other discoloration too, not just white pieces)
I've heard that adding a little vanish oxy action speeds this process up, as it acts as a catalyst for the peroxide.
So right about the Countach. My all time fantasy car. Had so many pics of these hanging in my room. Model seems nice but surprised they literally upscale the speed champions one. They should have at least done it in red or even yellow to mix it up.
It's very similar to the MOC build that you can build from the Porsche Targa/Turbo set.
Nearly a ripoff of the moc all the work was basicly done
Great vid. I’m not a Lego car collector but the Speed Champions Lamborghini Countach and Pagani Utopia both fit in my Star Wars universe.🤠
That Pagani Utopia gives me spy-hunter vibes 😅... I've got an Ultra Agents minifig driving it lol.
I already bought a rebrickable speed champions version (and then double dipped for the official). And bought the rebrickable ‘alt build’ for the porsche 911 (is there anything Firas can’t make from that set?) - and first impressions are this is not different enough to double dip. Maybe if I double dip I’ll use the rebrickable model to build a GT40 or something
Yeah, was thinking the same. It’s strange because as angular as the Countach looks IRL, this version looks even more angular! And the rear lights look way too big! Again perhaps more accurate in scale to the real life ones, but I like the look of the Tagra alt build more! It was the only reason I bought the Tagra set! 😂
The doors do look better on the official set, but the alt build was working with limited parts so 🤷. Same with the windshield.
The speed champions version has better lines around the wheelcases and better rearlights too. I think as lego car, it is superior at least from the outside, but as a model meant for display, probably not.
I think I'm gonna heavely gravitate to this 80's splendorous Car, definitely. Cool video!!
I’m looking forward to the mods people come up with.
Really appreciated the Cannonball Run reference! If only you could wash the colour off like the start of Cannonball Run 2…
I hope they do the C3 corvette next.
Interesting take. Well said. Lifelong car fantatic, loved LEGO building as a kid and they have been doing a great job with the recent cars. Looking into getting this tonadd to my collection with my Porsche RSR
This set was born out of the MOC build that you can build from the Porsche Targa/Turbo set. Because many preferd building the moc rather than the Porsche
I think the only complaint I have is the colour since we had the 911 in white the previous years.
I think a black Countach would've been nice if not a bright yellow or so on, just a new or different colour to the typical white.
For this reason I kinda hope this car will be be released in a similar fashion to the Fiat 500, which was released in both pastel yellow and blue.
The wheel arches are understandable given Lego designs models with both display _and_ structure in mind, whereas MOCs tend to be more display oriented and thus more fragile.
I think people forget that Lego doesn't simply appeal to one specific demographic, display pieces are nice and all but it's not fun having the itty bitty details knock off or the front end come loose because it has minimal attachment points all for the sake of being more accurate.
It's nice set, but I still look forward to red Testarossa (as many others).
It also just looks so cool, I didn’t exist in the 80s but still I’m very tempted
Looking to buy this one. Thanks for the informative video.
This one is a mess. The lines are all wrong, it almost looks front-engine. Any hardcore Lamborghini fan will skip it.
Firas moc from porsche 911 pieces looks way better. The Lego one it a ugly. I am Italian, love Lamborghini and this one has wrong shape and proportions. Lego did an ugly job even on fiat 500...
Just gonna pick up the set because of synthwave😎
Well there was in fact a white Countach in an episode of Miami Vice...
Nice, but those wheel arches hurt my eyes.... Their shape on the real car, though, would be very difficult to recreate in Lego, I think, so I guess this is a necessary compromise.
The worst part is the windows. On the real car the door windows are way larger and longer compared to the back windows. I fear the designer was looking at a Pontiac fiero 😂
I thought it was a much newer car. Never saw Miami Drive.
I wish it was black instead of white. It looks way too similar to the 2021 Porsche, because of the colour choice
Looks good!
This better have a buildable cocaine brick that comes with it.
Ha ha. I know what movie your talking about. Nice one. Maybe also a £@#ed Countach that was wrecked.
Not exactly a review, but a nice introduction to why and how this set is here and might be great for different kinds of fans.
I think the lines of the chassis around the wheel cases is a bit too round and not very elegant. Even the speed champions version has better lines despite its design limitations as a smaller car. Other than that, an amazing looking car. Especially on the interior with the dark red 'leather' look, is where this version makes up for its flaws. (even though they are small)
For me, as for a lot of people most likely, I think having 1 minifig sized scale for all cars is the only thing I need. I don't want cars for only display, I want them to fit in my larger city and look great at that scale. Even the speed champions line is a bit too large for that, as 6 stud wide cars are probably the best size for the average city / road network.
Side view unfortunately looks too off.
Which is too bad.
If only they made a DeLorean to complete the 80s set… owww wait… 😊
and plenty of us buy both because we’re idiots that can’t resist a big and small at the same time.
First Comment! So the question is, will there be a review of this on Brick Fanatics?
Hello, nice to see you! 😅
It's okay.
Awesome set
Personally I would rather a modern Lamborghini
6:56 This is the one thing I dislike about the choices, I would rather more modern cars, some of them are also pretty recognizable
I will not buy this. Two reasons. The backlights are nearly double the size, looks (in this case) really cartoonie and it's white. After the known rebuilt thing... If they make, again, the same set in a differend color, I'm in. Black would be perfect!
I'm sorry this is just a bad design. The Porsche 911 MOC is much better at capturing the shape than this official model. Just my opinion of course, I will easily pass on this one. Also, why not red or blue or something fun, we already had plenty of white.
Idk personally I love the design!
The build of the 911 moc is just amazing also I love that moc I bought another 911 just to have both I have the moc instructions for the viper to build too
Gone to get that Cannonball Run poster, don´t care at all about your rambling.
Oh look another WHITE Lamborghini. One of the worst color choices that even makes it look boring 😒
What better way to celebrate America's birthday than with... an Italian car?
What? Who cares
@@Trija204 It was a joke about the set releasing on the Fourth of July.
It's literally a car set. Of course it's 'just for car fans' 😅
I'm very much NOT the target audience for this set; I don't like vehicles overal. Same is true for this set.
I simply don't care about and for cars. Ah well, I'm happy for the people who love this sort of thing.
I disagree. The DeLorean is the true car of the 80s.
I feel like you just repeated yourself over and over and over again. This video is not watchable we get it. There’s different layers to the Lego community. You don’t have to say it 20+ times.
Jesus, man. Be a nice human being - it isn't hard. Or if that's too difficult for you, just give the video a thumbs down and move on.
@@GemToddmaybe this way he can adjust his videos and make better quality videos
