The verdict

This is the box where Speed Champions jumped from six studs wide to eight, and the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO is exactly the car that proves why that mattered.

It is low and mean and beautifully proportioned, and it got me the moment the hinged nose clicked into that slanted Lamborghini wedge. The Urus SUV that shares the box is the weaker sibling, honestly there mostly because Lamborghini makes one, but two cars, two drivers, and a lit start line for the old fifty-dollar price still add up to a happy afternoon. Best enjoyed by anyone who wants the Huracán and treats the Urus as a bonus.

The full review

What it is

This is the set where Speed Champions quietly changed forever. For years the cars were six studs wide, cute but a little stubby, and then in early 2020 LEGO widened the whole line to eight studs and made every model about a quarter bigger. The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO is the car they clearly built to sell that idea, and it works. It sits low and wide and angry, the front end hinges down into that trademark slanted Lamborghini nose, and the first time it was finished on my desk I just left it there and kept glancing at it. For a car that costs a fraction of the real thing, it captures the attitude shockingly well.

The catch

The honest wrinkle is the second car. The Urus ST-X is a rally-prepped SUV, and it is here largely because Lamborghini sells one, not because anyone was pleading for a boxy off-roader in their supercar collection. It builds fine and the lime green livery is cheerful, but it lives in the Huracán's shadow, and there is one detail that genuinely bugs people: the steering wheel simply does not line up with the driver's seat. It is the kind of thing you cannot unsee once someone points it out. At its original fifty-dollar retail this felt like a set you waited to catch on discount, buying it mostly for the car you actually wanted.

Who it's for

The math is different now. The set retired in December 2021 after a short run, and prices have roughly doubled on the secondary market, so the bargain-hunting advice has quietly expired. If you love Speed Champions, or you want the specific moment the theme grew up, or you just want that Huracán, this is an easy yes even at a small premium. If you are indifferent to the cars themselves and only care about clever mechanisms, there is not much engineering drama here, two brick-built cars and a start gate, and you can comfortably skip it. It is a display set with heart, not a puzzle.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building it is relaxed and quick, the kind of pair of models you can finish in one sitting with a coffee going cold beside you. Each car goes together with plenty of angled slopes and wedge plates layered over a small studded core, and the Huracán in particular rewards you with that satisfying moment when the hinged front folds down and the whole silhouette suddenly reads as a Lamborghini. Neither model is technically demanding, but the shaping keeps your hands busy in a pleasant way rather than a repetitive one.

For parts people there is real value tucked in here. The lime is the story: 45-degree 1x2 slopes with cutout and 2x2 wedge plates that had only appeared in a handful of sets before, plus left and right 1x2 wedges with stud notch and 2x2 triangular tiles that showed up in lime for the very first time. The tan inverted 1x6 to 2x6 brackets holding the internal structure together were also new for 2020, which makes this a quietly useful box for anyone who parts sets out for their own builds.

03The two drivers wear identical Lamborghini overalls, one male and one female, and the male driver comes with a large black spanner.
04The set retired in December 2021 after less than two years on shelves, and its value has since roughly doubled over the original 49.99-dollar price.
