Lambo on a budget

Here’s a kit car that won’t take over your life. If you’ve always fancied building your own motor, but not the costs that go with it, how about trying this desktop version instead?

The detailed Lamborghini Murciélago model comes with all the bits you need to screw it together, and the maker says anyone over the age of eight could cope with the kit – all you need to get going is a crosshead screwdriver and some spare time. The 1:38 scale model comes with full instructions, and if you’re not a fan of the Italian supercar maker, there’s a Porsche Boxster version available, too.

Maker’s claim: “Experience the pleasure of building your own classic.”
