1. Lamborghini Centenario

At the 100th anniversary of Lamborghini, and perhaps in tribute to Mr. Lamborghini himself, the Centenario was born. Often hailed as the ultimate fusion of groundbreaking design and engineering, the Centenario was hailed as the pinnacle of what Lamborghini had to offer at the time. In recent years, the Centenario was even rebuilt as an open-air model, harkening back to the excitement of the release of this vehicle. Now, you can immortalize this car for yourself with the  Lamborghini Centenario scale model from Takara Tomy!

The Lamborghini scale model boasts all of the intuitive design of the original luxury sports car. With a design so steeped in automobile history, this is one that the discerning collector can’t afford to miss!

2. Lamborghini Aventador

Lamborghini Aventador

The Aventador, in keeping tradition with all Lamborghini models, is named after a fighting bull. However, there is absolutely nothing ordinary about this vehicle. Aventador, a bull who fought particularly valiantly in the ring in Zaragoza in 1993, won accolades for its bravery. This high end sports car that is named for this bull certainly lives up to its namesake. After its unveiling in 2011, Lamborghini announced that it had already sold 12 models, and effectively recognized the Aventador as it’s newest flagship car.

In the next five years, Lamborghini would sell roughly 5,000 of these beauties, and now you can pay tribute to the hype with your very own  Lamborghini Aventador scale model from Aoshima and available right here at Plaza Japan! This Lamborghini plastic model kit emphasizes all of the prestige and power of the original model, and is sure to add a great deal of historical flair to your collection.

3. Lamborghini Murcielago

The Murcielago is yet another flagship design that rocked the world in the 2000s, a design based successor to the Diablo, this car was a sight for sore eyes as the first new design from lamborghini in eleven years. This was the first model of Lamborghini sports car manufactured under german company Audi, which was owned by Volkswagen. Needless to say, this car represents a great deal of historical value, and now you can add it to your collection with the  Lamborghini Murcielago scale model kit from Fujimi!

This Lamborghini scale model exemplifies all of this historical significance of the Murcielago, and implicates the strength of the car. Named after a fighting bull that survived 24 well-placed sword strokes, the Murcielago is all about toughness. If you’re trying to add some power to your Lamborghini plastic model kit collection, this is one model that you absolutely cannot afford to miss.

4. Lamborghini Countach

Marking a break in tradition for the Lamborghini company, the Countach is named not after a fighting bull, but after an exclamation of astonishment in the local dialect. It is true, however, that the Countach is nothing if not astonishing. Styled by a very young designer named Gandini, this car was designed without the ergonomic limitations of automotive design in mind and perhaps, this gorgeous design was completely unhindered by them.

Now, you can memorialize the audacious and beautiful design for yourself with the  Lamborghini Countach scale model kit from Fujimi! Boasting a design that tells the world that it couldn’t care less what they think, this Lamborghini scale model is sure to make your collection pop!

5. Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Weighing in with a price at nearly three million dollars, the Sesto Elemento is the absolute pinnacle of luxury and performance. Very few of these beautiful cars were ever put into production, and its namesake, “the sixth element,” uses a play on words to underscore the rarity and value of this car. Now, with the  Lamborghini Sesto Elemento model kit from Aoshima, you can add this gem to your collection by purchasing right here from Plaza Japan! Add this Lamborghini plastic model kit to your collection today!

6. Lamborghini Huracan

Power, ancient and unbeatable, that is the legacy of the Lamborghini Huracan. Named after a fighting bull who fought valiantly in the late 1800s, the Huracan already boasts its namesake as an old and unstoppable force, but in a unique double-meaning, Huracan is also the name of the an ancient Mayan god of storms and fire, as well as being the spanish word for hurricane. This triple-threat of a name doesn’t begin to oversell this titan of automotive power, and now you can add your own Huracan to your Lamborghini scale model collection with the Aoshima  Lamborghini Huracan scale model kit!

7. Lamborghini Diablo

A completed Lamborghini Diablo model car kit

Last but not remotely least, we have the Lamborghini Diablo, a car that was actually said to be designed for the sole purpose of “being the biggest head turner in the world.” Needless to say to any automotive enthusiast, the Diablo lived up to its namesake well. This car was meant to replace the Countach, and did so well. The brief itself specified that this vehicle would have to have a top speed of at least 315 miles-per-hour. This was an absolute powerhouse for Lamborghini, and now you can bring the legend home with the Aoshima  Lamborghini Diablo scale model kit.
