If you’ve always fancied an Italian supercar but your pocket snaps shut at the very thought, you might have to make do with something smaller.
Enter Lego's miniature version of Lamborghini’s Sian FKP 37.
Decked out in a vivid lime-green colour and with golden rims, the model is made up of 3,696 pieces and is around 13 centimetres high, 60cm long and 25cm wide.
Intricate details include a replica of the car’s V12 engine, a rear spoiler that pops up, front and rear suspension, and steering powered by a wheel adorned with the manufacturer’s emblem. The car’s interior has been recreated with a fully functioning gearbox triggered by a movable paddle gearshift.
And you’ll really like this bit, details fans – budding builders can also lift up the front hood to find a Lamborghini overnight bag and a unique serial number that unlocks online content featuring 13 video casts.
It’s still not exactly a budget option for fans of the humble Danish brick, as it will cost you Dh1,945.
Probably worth it for the bag alone though.

Who is Tim-Berners Lee?
Sir Tim Berners-Lee was born in London in a household of mathematicians and computer scientists. Both his mother, Mary Lee, and father, Conway, were early computer scientists who worked on the Ferranti 1 - the world's first commercially-available, general purpose digital computer. Sir Tim studied Physics at the University of Oxford and held a series of roles developing code and building software before moving to Switzerland to work for Cern, the European Particle Physics laboratory. He developed the worldwide web code as a side project in 1989 as a global information-sharing system. After releasing the first web code in 1991, Cern made it open and free for all to use. Sir Tim now campaigns for initiatives to make sure the web remains open and accessible to all.
