There is a button on the top right of the page that will translate it all to English. And definitely this; release to VIP on June 1st, and to the general public on August 1st. That will be a long wait if you're not VIP (which is easy to become VIP right away when you buy the set on June 1st: you just have to call Lego.com and sign up then at the spot) I agree. Lego had time enough to design this set; and I'm very confident in the fact that they wouldn't release the set if it was not structural solid !

They would call that a “kit-car” here in the US. They were really popular using Pontiac Fierro’s chassis and then on the outside a fake Ferrari Testa Rossa body on it ... But back to the real car... We’re now only a week away for the “official” release (AND availability to sell to VIP’s) of the set. I was looking at the inside of the box what contains the little boxes with parts and I think that there might be six boxes in there. The two green ones on the sides, and then the black “chevron” shaped area contains (maybe) out of four separate boxes as well. Either way. I expect almost that LEGO might leak some more stuff over this long weekend; since people are at home and have an extra day. They would reach a lot of their clients in one moment.

?... A Land Rover green Lamborghini. With a from-the-outside-activated rear wing, gold wheels, a gearbox (that might not have the gears in order), working steering and a pushrod suspension that might-not-hold the cars weight... I love LEGO and I love the UCS cars; but is that what we are looking forward to ?... Please make me be really of the mark here LEGO ?...

Even though I really still hope that it’s not going to be “Army Green”, I’m starting to think that the idea might be right that it will be the Land Rover color. It would slightly disappoint me from both companies; Lamborghini because it’s a color they don’t even have (although you can order whatever you want for an extra fee), and LEGO because I feel “cheated” that they felt the need to re-use that color to make it worth their while I guess and make it more economical that way ? But then I agree with @Lachouffe that I don’t have any vehicles (or anything for that matter), in that color yet so it would be a “welcome” change to the normal range... It still saddens me though that both companies didn’t go for an obvious “in-your-face” color option while they have this open door opportunity to do so ?... ...Let’s hope I got this completely wrong... ?

That’s correct, nobody knows the sets color yet, but we all have our preferences. Lamborghinis are known to be outrageous in colors, and they have some well sold colors like their “matte orange” (out because of the Porsche), they have a beautiful blue metallic (out because of the Bugatti) and of course their Mantis green. All of these colors are shown earlier in this thread, in some of my comments. I had a family member included in the design of their “welcome” boxes they give new Lamborghini car owners. (The box includes gloves and other goodies...)

@TeamThrifty I was so excited to get 850 for my birthday that year. It was the first technic set ever. The little yellow fork truck that actually drove, steered and had a hand cracked fork system. ...And the others followed. Like 852 which was the blue helicopter with a real working landing gear set (!)... As an almost 55 year old adult (With multiple degrees in engineering, including an automotive design degree), with over 200 LEGO sets hidden in my house; those numbers bring up happy memories, moments and a big smile. I don’t care people “hate” on LEGO; I still love them and always will. They still do the trick for me, they did for my kids and might do so again when they will be older and have some set “trigger” them back into it... I love their sets even though they got more expensive, and I think it’s great that they are not perfect; because that’s normal coming from a building system that is based on a rectangular block !!!...
