Haven't been feeling like building lately, but yesterday I just opened Mecabricks and went for it. Spent the whole evening and a good chunk of the morning with this one. Overall, I am happy with how it came out, I also got to use the idea I had for the rear lights built with 32828 and Trans-Red 36451a. There are a few upside-down assemblies that look good, but may or may not work IRL, and I am not entirely happy with the front. The model is available on Mecabricks. All parts are available in the colors I used, though I did not check if there were any rare ones. UPD: Browsed some of the LEGO car groups on Flickr and got enough inspiration to rework the front for a more supercar look. I think it suits it much better. UPD2: Decided to add a render of the rear with a clearer view of the rear lights:

Going back to the videocasts, in Episode 5 Jeppe Juul Jensen says something along these lines: LEGO Technic is the ultimate open-source, so you can rebuild any part of the car in any color you have at home. Some day...

Just got to the last few episodes, and he does feel genuinely impressed and excited about the set. It looks like the technical side of the set can still surprise even technically savvy people outisde the AFOL bubble

There really is, and I appreciate how they almost make you feel like a member of a Lamborghini owners club by sharing all the cool insights and comments directly from Lamborghini engineers and designers. But the most unintentionally funny one is Episode 7 in which the Lamborghini chief manufacturing officer explains how important properly painting the car is, with all of the different parts made of all the different materials having a consistent color. Awkward

It was: https://www.lc-jrx.com/en/2020/01/28/news/lego-technic-summer-sets-2020-552.html

Did a quick render in Stud.io with Porsche wheels (same size), they seem to fit in the wheel arches: The arch is 2 studs narrower than 24118, so depending on the steering geometry the wheels may or may not scrape. It is a tighter and more realistic fit, in my opinion.

I have to say, when you see it in videos from different angles and moved around, it does look quite beautiful. The side view with the rear lights is, IMO, close enough to the real thing. The side vent is not perfect, and the side window line does not curve up, but it is still a recognizable and impressive look. And I think lime green suits the Lambo.

Well, it's called Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 after all. Sorry, couldn't help it

There's 32124, but you probably mean something larger than 1x5.

There is a photo on the first page of the topic. You beat me to it.

I think there was an argument made in this topic earlier regarding the plausibility of LEGO including more advanced electronic components in their sets, and how LEGO technically being a toy would make it hard and expensive to certify some things. Do you think 18+ marking could allow LEGO to overcome some of those limitations? They did play with the idea of light kits earlier this year...

Agreed. One would see the box at a LEGO store or in the LEGO section of another store, so it is unlikely there would be a lot of doubt as to whether it is LEGO or not. And I think the common agreement is that these latest UCS Technic supercar sets (and even the LR Defender and MB Arocs to some extent) are aimed as much at AFOLs as at car enthusiasts who are not active LEGO fans. Such box design lines pretty well with the 18+ marking and "Build for real" motto adopted by the Technic line– you are getting a Lamborghini item first and foremost, and even if the medium is "LEGO construction toy", you are "building for real", it's no child play It may sound dumb and straight-forward, but it probably works for attracting some people who could otherwise not buy LEGO.

Remembered about these pieces thinking about what the rear could look like: Obviously, a) these mudguards are no longer produced, b) probably to large and c) there is no easy way to attach them, so I am really curious what the rear lights will actually look like. The front lights are tricky too, but they are brick-built, so hopefully it will not be stickers or printed pieces in the rear.

But it is kind of cool that when you open the box, you are opening a bonnet of a Lamborghini. And the packaging of the boxes on the inside with their angular shapes and carbon fiber finish is pretty cool as well, very Lambo.

That does look weird, but here's an article on this: https://brickset.com/article/51364/lego-ditches-creator-expert-branding-in-favour-of-18-marking

Just today I've stumbled upon it being used in a MOC and wondered what it was: 2016 - lego orange, white kitchen by deborah higdon, on Flickr

It's from https://brickset.com/sets/70902-1/Catwoman-Catcycle-Chase, which includes 4 of them + 1 spare, according to BrickLink. Also, https://brickset.com/sets/71021-13/Race-Car-Guy came with 1 of those.

That canopy piece takes this MOC to the next level looks-wise. Great job!

I see it like a Wiesmann, something like the one in the bottom left: That color combination does look great. Kind of off topic, as it was a 6-wide System MOC, but I have actually built a roadster in a similar style and color scheme:

Is there a way to put turn signals near the hood? I'd say they are one of the signature features of the G-Class.

Thanks @ExeSandbox! To me, the most fascinating effect of this geometry is how it is possible to build diagonal sections using this hinge: Obviously, the same would work for other lengths as long as straight sections are one brick apart. Other configurations would require trickier calculations

Regarding the images, you should basically host your images on another site and link the images into your post. Please check this topic for tips on posting pictures on Eurobricks: As to your actual question: the reason why the door gets stuck comes down to geometry. Consider these two assemblies: In the top one the widest part of the door – the distance from the hinge axis to the furthest corner of the door – is greater than the widest part of the door frame. The door fits while it is closed, but as soon as you swing it open, that extra width becomes a problem. If you imagine a circle being drawn by the outermost point of the door, you will see that the door frame gets inside that circle, which explains why it gets stuck. In the bottom one the widest part of the door is exactly the width of the door frame. Imagine that same circle drawn by the door. In this case, the door frame only touches it, so nothing blocks the door when you open it. However, it will need that 1 brick gap right by the hinge, as the door wants to go inside the wall. With that in mind, it should now be clear why the gap is necessary. The alternative would be to somehow make the edge of the door narrower on the inside. For instance, you could do it like this: The cheese slopes could be replaced with 6191, 37352 or other similar parts.
