[Auto Home? News from the car industry] Following the Bugatti Chiron, Lego has released another ultra-complex supercar model - Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, this 1:8 car model The parts count reaches 3696 pieces, and it takes several days to put it together... But is it the complexity that prevents people from buying it? Of course not! For many people, the biggest obstacle is just one word - expensive! The official guide price of Lego Sián is 3,399 yuan, and the "Employment Blue Book" released a few days ago shows that the average monthly income of undergraduate graduates in 2019 is 5,440 yuan, which means that a month of hard work is not enough to buy two of these Lego, then Why is a plastic toy so expensive? Let’s first talk about the prices of car models on the market. Generally speaking, those that cost tens of yuan or one to two hundred yuan are toy-level; “original” alloy car models that look exactly like real cars cost about three to four hundred yuan; one thousand yuan For more money, a static car model is considered to be relatively exquisite, and the visible details are restored in place; at first glance, a car model worth more than 3,000 yuan looks similar to one with more than 1,000 yuan, but when you hold it in your hand, you will feel like a work of art. , not only the appearance, but also the details of the engine and chassis can be said to be fully present. So for the same price of more than 3,000 yuan, is Lego's performance worth the "ticket"? Most of the car models mentioned just now have a scale of 1:18, while the scale of LEGO’s Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 reaches 1:8, which is quite shocking in terms of size. In addition, the prototype is a limited edition Lamborghini. It is a sports car, so it gained a lot of attention once it was launched. Although it is very expensive, several colleagues and friends around me have already bought it. Today we will not talk about the assembly process, but just to see how far it has been restored. First of all, look at the appearance. The LEGO version of Sián has faithfully restored the body proportions. You might say that this is just the basics. If the proportions are not correct, there is no need to make a car model. You don’t know much about Lego. Although the car models of this brand are all authorized by the manufacturer, the ones priced below one thousand yuan are rarely very well proportioned. The reason is easy to understand. Assembling with granular parts is definitely not as accurate as opening a mold separately. The details of the appearance can be described as "magic restoration", which does not mean how wonderful the restoration is, but that it is similar in key details. The original Lamborghini Sián is painted in green, and many black carbon fiber parts are exposed between the body panels, which gives the body a "tearing" feeling, and the Lego Sián model amplifies this feeling of tearing 100 times more... giving a car a mecha style. The original car's front lip spoiler (number of layers) was accurately represented by Lego, and the ridges on the front hood were also faithfully restored. But that’s not important. The most prominent feature on the front face is the “Y”-shaped daytime running lights, and Lego naturally nailed it here. Although it is just a white plastic stick, it seems to actually glow against the black background. The charm of the daytime running lights is so good that you can hardly notice that this model has no headlights at all... There are soft thin strips on both sides of the front trunk, A-pillars, as well as the roof and body surround. They are at both ends. The guide parts perfectly outline the body lines, pushing the "spiritual likeness" of Lego to the extreme. In other words, without them, the car would have no soul. The golden rim is an independent part that is molded separately, so it is also the most restored part on the entire model. However, even so, its level of sophistication has not reached the level of 500-yuan alloy car models on the market. The center bolt of the wheel is made of the same gold color as the rim instead of the black of the actual car, and the Lamborghini logo on it has only one outline. The rear of the car also has a "soul". The tail lines and the shape of the taillights are just similar. Overall, it looks like this car, but looking at the details alone, it doesn't look like that. Especially the rear diffuser and exhaust pipe are almost useless. There are not many "plate"-shaped parts on the retractable rear spoiler. Most of them are single cylindrical, which means that the rear spoiler is composed of small sticks, and the shape is tortuous, so it looks like It looks like it is made of branches, and a poem suddenly comes to mind - Chai Men hears the barking of dogs... In general, although the scale reaches 1:8, the appearance of this car model is just a spiritual resemblance. Of course, it is undeniable that this is already a level of restoration in Lego’s product line.
Compared with the appearance, the degree of restoration of the interior seems a bit confusing. The original Sián car interior is based on the Aventador, and the materials used are even better. However, except for the instrument panel style, it can be said that the model interior has no details. No details. When you open the front trunk lid, you can see a small luggage compartment space, which is in line with Lamborghini's usual style... There is also a handbag in the luggage compartment, why is it not a trolley case? Mainly because handbags are more traditional and stylish. It seems that these are all bad words. The details of LEGO models are completely incomparable with ordinary static car models. However, this comparison itself is unfair. The greater value of LEGO actually lies in the fun of assembling. This is not something that finished car models can give your. As a mechanical set in the Lego family, the mechanical structure after assembly is also the focus of play. The first is the rear spoiler that can be raised and lowered. Its control mechanism is in front of the co-pilot's seat and looks like a flight joystick between the legs of a fighter pilot. Pushing the lever forward raises the spoiler, and pulling it backward lowers the spoiler. Although it is far from the control method of a real car, it is still controlled in the car. Also controlled in the car is the steering. The steering wheel can control the steering. The principle is actually similar to that of a car in the real world, but the structure is simpler and there is no power assist.

Friends who have driven a Lamborghini (or have read our "Lamborghini Incomplete User Manual") must know that this brand of car uses a paddle shifter. There are paddles to control the forward and neutral gears, and behind the steering wheel of the LEGO Sián car model, there is also a paddle-like mechanism, which is also used to control the gearbox. Push the lever behind the steering wheel to shift gears, and turn the body over to directly see the exposed gearbox. The actual Sián car uses the ISR gearbox that Lamborghini is proud of. The fast shifting speed and light weight are the biggest highlights of the ISR gearbox. However, on the model, this gearbox does not look so slim - it has a square gearbox. The box occupies a large part of the chassis and is much larger than the engine. Although the structure is very different from the gearbox of a real car, fortunately, the gearbox structure is still there, including the input shaft, output shaft, gear set, and shift fork, and different gear sets can be switched according to the gear position.
More exciting videos are available on the Autohome video channel. The gearbox on the model does not seem to be responsible for transmission, it is just for fun. The real transmission mechanism is controlled by the lever in the middle of the center console. The middle position is neutral, and the engine will only idle; pull it back to drive gear, and the wheels will rotate when the engine drive shaft is turned; push it forward to probably be in P gear. , then the engine drive shaft cannot rotate at all.

The original car’s bonnet has the shutters commonly seen on Lamborghini’s mid-mounted sports cars, and it also pioneered the use of automatic ventilation covers. When the temperature in the air area is too high, the cover will automatically open. There are no blinds on the model, so naturally they cannot be opened or closed. Of course, this is not the point. The point is the engine. After opening the engine compartment cover, you can see the very realistic stiffeners and engine. Below the V12 logo is the firing sequence of the 12 cylinders. However, probably due to printing reasons, these numbers are not really printed. In addition, the sides of the engine are complicated. intake and exhaust lines. Open the engine hood and you can see the yellow pistons in the 12 cylinders. The pistons of the real car are not yellow, they are just here to allow players to see them more clearly. You can see the movable piston, which is probably something that only Lego Technic can give you. Turn the engine over and you can see that the piston is connected to the crankshaft, and each two piston connecting rods are mounted on a crankshaft handle. However, generally speaking, the angle between the crankshaft handles of a 12-cylinder engine is 60 degrees, but here it is 180 degrees. Spend. Of course, this is not very important. Again, you can see how the piston moves in the engine. This is an experience that other car models are difficult to give you.

The Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 not only has a gasoline engine, it is actually a hybrid model, as well as an electric motor and a super power supply that stores electrical energy. However, these things are not seen on the model. The most "conscientious" part of the model is undoubtedly the suspension part. Generally, the shock absorbers of vehicle suspensions are placed longitudinally. After all, the wheels also move up and down. Supercars like Lamborghini, because of their low body, cannot place high-strength shock absorbers vertically and can only be placed horizontally, so they have the horizontal pushrod horizontal suspension we see now.
The name is confusing, but Lego has restored it very well (although the number of shock absorbers is not the same as the real car). The last thing I want to say is that although it is just a model, Lego still carefully made the front and rear differentials. Its structural principles are exactly the same as those of the real car. After playing with it for a few minutes, you can clearly see why cars must have differentials, and you can also see why hardcore off-road vehicles need differential locks.

Summary: The LEGO Lamborghini Sián?FKP?37 priced at 3,399 yuan is not a highly restored model. This is because the LEGO brand itself has never used restoration as a selling point. As an assembled model, the process of making it by yourself is its most "valuable" part. What's more, this is a mechanical set of Lego. With it, we can see the principle of the differential, the structure of the suspension, the movement of the piston and other basic structures of the vehicle. So when buying it, you can even talk to your wife (or daughter-in-law) about it. Friend, or mother) said this is a teaching aid. This car model has been analyzed for you. I believe you have already made your own judgment on whether more than three thousand yuan is worth it. A bachelor's degree graduate who earns 5,440 yuan a month probably won't spend more than 3,000 yuan to buy a Lego. So, how much do you think you can earn per month to buy this model?
