[TC18] Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 (finished)

[Leviathan]

Hi everyone,

This is my entry for this contest. Why this car ? 'Cause I have a lot of Orange in stock and what brand car is recognizable in orange color ? A Lamborghini of course ! (A Mclaren/Old Mustang too I guess...)

Specification and functions :
Wheels: 43.2x14 or 22
Engine: fake mini V10, RWD
Color: Orange and white stripe

Dimensions : 120 x 300 x 85 mm -> (15 x 40 x 10 studs)

Openable doors and trunk. 

No suspensions, not necessary at this scale In my opinion

Front steering + Rear HOG

Front looks very good 

[super-jaschka]

after this contest TLG will have ideas for new sets, much better than 42093

Rear bodywork in progress !

Looks very good, the rear is undeniably lamborghini, and i agree with @super-jaschka, all these entries are so damn good, eurobricks is putting TLG to shame with 42093 and 42098

[Jeroen Ottens]

Very good looking indeed. I love the cleanliness of the design

[Leviathan]

Almost finished Maybe I'll add a spoiler. I will take pro photos this week ;)

Very nice. A wing would be a nice addition imo.

I'm on it !

[Tomik]

It looks cool - I like how you caught its shape in such a small scale. My favorite parts are headlights and rear lights. And I agree with others that rear spoiler / wing would be good addition.

[Go-Kart]

Awesome! This sleek model makes you aware of how over-styled present-day Lambos are (and most other cars). I think with a wing it will be less elegant.

My only nitpicking would be the shape of the rear window: The horizontal black liftarms within the orange liftarms going from the roof to the rear give me the feeling of a glass covered slope whereas pictures show a vertical rear window behind the seats. (But there might be different versions of the car)

[agrof]

I agree with @Go-Kart, it is very stylish and clean as it is. The wing as detachable add-on would be a nice touch, but not necessary.

Maybe I missed something, does it has a HOG? Also, maybe the steering wheel could be one size bigger.

Awesome.

Lots of very nice details here, I especially like the way you've recreated the headlight details under the clear panels. I wouldn't bother adding a spoiler. When I imagine a Gallardo I picture the flat rear deck and square rear edges. A quick look at autotrader suggests only 20% have wings.

I'm looking forward to seeing some more pics as I'd love to see how you've got the front wheels so tight in the arches but still steerable. I'm guessing a virtual pivot system?

And more o the point, the LP 550-2 version wasnt equiped with a spoiler/wing.

If you do want to add a spoiler, id suggest a different colour and removing the white stripe.

Cute build! I'm loving this contest, with all the extravagant (but awesome) supercars people are coming out with it's nice to have this refreshing stripped back style. Great job

Absolutly. The exact version is LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni (Lamborghini famous pilot)

But just for fun, with spoiler :

 

 

 

Other photos coming soon !
