13177 Italian Bull SVJ Remote Controlled Car Building Set | 1,608 PCS
Italian Bull SVJ RC — The Last Screaming V12 Lamborghini
This 1,608-piece remote-controlled build recreates the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ — the most extreme, most powerful, and quite possibly the last naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghini ever made. With RC motorized drive and the SVJ's unmistakable aggressive aerodynamics, this model captures a car that represents the end of an era in the most dramatic way possible.
The Real Machine
The Aventador SVJ — "Super Veloce Jota" — is Lamborghini's ultimate expression of V12 fury. Its 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 produces 770 horsepower at a stratospheric 8,500 rpm, delivering a sound so intense, so visceral, that it has been described as a mechanical symphony conducted at the edge of violence. The SVJ sprints from 0-60 in 2.8 seconds and reaches 217 mph, but the numbers barely capture the experience. The ALA 2.0 (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva) active aerodynamics system uses motorized flaps in the front splitter and rear wing to dynamically adjust downforce — channeling air precisely where it's needed, corner by corner. This system helped the SVJ set a Nürburgring Nordschleife production car lap record of 6:44.97 in 2018. Only 900 SVJ coupes and 800 roadsters were built, each priced from approximately $517,000. As Lamborghini transitions to hybrid and eventually electric powertrains, the SVJ stands as the final monument to the era when Lamborghini built nothing but pure, unassisted, naturally aspirated V12 madness.
Design & Build
At 1,608 pieces with RC Power Functions, this model captures the SVJ's aggressive Y-shaped design language — the angular bodywork, massive air intakes, and that iconic hexagonal rear end that's become Lamborghini's visual signature. The RC system provides motorized drive and steering, letting you experience the model in motion after the build is complete. At approximately 39.5 x 17.6 x 10.4 cm, it's large enough to showcase the SVJ's dramatic proportions and aerodynamic details while remaining manageable for display.
What Builders Love
- End-of-era significance — The SVJ may be the last pure V12 Lamborghini; owning this model marks a historic moment in automotive history
- RC drivability — Motorized drive and steering add interactive play value beyond static display
- Aggressive design — The SVJ's angular, in-your-face styling is among the most dramatic of any car, and it translates powerfully to brick form
- Nürburgring record holder — This isn't just a pretty face; the SVJ backed up its looks with the fastest production car lap at the world's most demanding circuit
Worth Considering
- RC complexity — The motorized system adds build complexity and requires batteries for operation
- Mid-scale model — At 1,608 pieces, this is substantial but not as detailed as 3,000+ piece builds of the same car
- Angular design compromise — While the SVJ's angular styling suits bricks better than curves, some subtle details may be simplified

The Bottom Line
The Italian Bull SVJ RC captures the last, loudest, and most powerful naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghini in a drivable 1,608-piece package. In a future where Lamborghini's successors will hum with electric assistance, the SVJ's screaming 770-horsepower V12 represents the end of an irreplaceable era. This RC model lets you celebrate that legacy with a build that's as dramatic and uncompromising as the Raging Bull itself — a fitting tribute to the car that went out louder than anything that came before it.
