Somehow, I’ve been lucky lately to get to write reviews for cars that I can’t find anything about online when I’m researching them ;-)
In front of me are the blue Lamborghini Huracán series model and the silver Huracán safety car. The blue one is a visual dream. The color is wonderful—I’ve rarely seen such an intense blue on a slot car. I have tons of ideas for that car. But I’m not supposed to write about it.
Instead, I’m supposed to write about the safety car: the silver Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 with a flashing light on the roof and BLANCPAIN watch advertising on the body. And I just can’t find anything about it online. At any rate, there’s no info about the silver (!!!) car. There’s a video on YouTube showing a white safety car being parked (who actually records videos like that? Don’t people have anything better to do? *lol*). The video is pretty good in that you can clearly see the car and the turn signal.
There’s also a picture of the white one online. But that’s about it, so unfortunately I can’t say much about how faithful it is to the real thing. The sponsor, BLANCPAIN, is definitely a good fit. ;-)
Personally, I really like the car. It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of production sports cars on the racetrack, so I’m always happy when “special edition” versions of street cars are released. From that perspective, the Lamborghini was a good choice—the “Polizia” model was already released back in 2015.
The safety car has the same flashing light as a police car, is also driverless, and therefore has black windows—which, as is well known, is due to the circuit board inside the body. The car weighs 102 g—just 1 g more than the standard Huracán. The Lamborghini’s handling is legendary; this little beast sticks to the track like superglue and cuts through the corners as if on rails.
All in all, a truly beautiful car, especially for the younger drivers among us (my boys love cars with flashing lights).
