Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't seen you for a few days, and Fred continues to present the LEGO 2022 Speed Championship series - Lotus Evija sports car today.
The brand lotus (Lotus/Lotus) may be very strange to passers-by, and the influence of the translation of the name "Lotus" will make it difficult for many people to associate with supercars. But supercar lovers know that this is a very strong brand: low-key but strong, excellent performance in all major events, very eye-catching, which is why LEGO launched this year's SPEED model.
Number: 76907
Title: Lotus Evija
Suitable age: 8+
Number of parts: 247
On the front of the box is the scene of our small "lotus" speeding past, yellow sand flying, and on the back is the original car display and model simulation driving fast on the late autumn mountain road.
Compared with the original car, it is not difficult to find that the whole car presented by Lego is slightly thick, not as thin and agile as the Buddha; at the same time, the body lines are trivial and complicated, and the fluency and elegance can be said to be completely incompatible with the original car, compared to the Ferrari 512M we previously evaluated, this Lotus Evija restoration degree is really not flattering. If I hadn't been told, I wouldn't have guessed which model it was.
But! Lego designers' efforts in this set are definitely worth saying "Reisbai! “
First of all, let's look at the most entangled point of the majority of players - "SPEED sticker crazy printing and sticker use", the use of prints in this set is not much, the headlights and two large transparent printing top covers, but the printing quality is very good, no overflow, high clarity, especially the diamond-like back glass.
Stickers are used a lot, but they are not disturbing, even the logo on the front cover of the car is a sticker.
Mainly because the yellow moving line of the body is really beautiful: from the front cockpit, through the combination of different parts and stickers, it extends to the rear of the car, although there will be some gaps in the middle, but the overall coherence is not disturbed.
The side of the body is also covered with stickers and 1*1 yellow parts with a beautiful bright yellow ~
The tail sticker is also very good to highlight the two inverted trapezoidal taillights of the original car, so it seems that the sticker is not so annoying haha.
The front part of the car is well shaped, and the interior is connected by a spherical joint, which is very stable.
Lifting the top cover, the sticker restored the dashboard, and the driver sat next to it.
The doll is a one-sided expression, and the thin face feels very capable. The body painting is also very good, fine and beautiful.
The body side shape feels very strange at first glance, this is because the original car is a kind of special-shaped cutout design, Lego here is not very restored, many players including myself feel that there is no such curved smooth graceful charm. But when it comes to building skills and performance results, it is very intriguing. Designers use a lot of special-shaped parts stacked in layers, but there is a sense of paper art, which has a different taste.
And this car has no rearview mirrors, but instead a customizable camera, which is quite technological.
The deflector plate at the rear of the car uses skateboard parts upside down and is cleverly built.
The rear lights do not have the effect of the rounded triangle of the original car, but it can be felt that lego's designers want to restore the iconic taillight style, so they also use lateral building and other techniques to restore as much as possible.
It can be seen that many of the details of the vehicle are very good, especially after personally building, understanding how to make these appearances from the internal structure, you will feel that the structural part is designed very well, and the building experience is also excellent. For players who are looking for true body restoration, this brick set is obviously not the best choice, and many car models are far better than lego SPPED sets. But brick players, especially LEGO fans, know that the structural foundation of brick granularization means that achieving goals as much as possible through more subtle building skills is the most valuable fun, which LEGO tells us through the CLASSIC series 90th anniversary set.
So to use more than a hundred yuan to pursue the building experience and the exquisite design of the structure, this set is really good! From the perspective of structural design, it is definitely the representative work of the SPPED series in recent years.
Here's Fred, who reviews and recommends this little Lotus that doesn't restore for LEGO players, oh no, it's Lotus Evija. You are also welcome to leave a message to discuss, tell me if you will buy this car?
