THE RACE-CONCEPT SUV
Lamborghini Urus ST-X
The race-prepped Urus that headed Lamborghini Squadra Corse's never-launched SUV championship.
Lamborghini revealed the Urus ST-X at the 2018 World Final at Vallelunga, alongside an announcement that its racing arm — Squadra Corse — was developing a one-make SUV racing series to slot into the Super Trofeo support programme. The car kept the production Urus' twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 (around 478 kW / 641 hp) but added a full FIA-grade roll cage, a fire-suppression system, racing seats and harnesses, a centre-locking wheel hub kit, and bespoke aero. LEGO® set 76899's ST-X build is closely modelled on this 2018 reveal car (see Brickset 76899).
The pitch was straightforward: the Super Trofeo championships had proven that Lamborghini customers were willing to race factory-supported cars on grand-prix circuits, so why not extend the formula to the SUV that had quickly become the company's best seller? Squadra Corse and the parent Volkswagen Group ran trial demonstrations at the World Finals through 2018, 2019 and 2020 — but the proposed Super Trofeo SUV class never reached an opening round. Whether the brakes were applied by COVID-era motorsport disruption, by the relative cost of a one-make SUV grid, or by parent-group politics, Lamborghini quietly stopped talking about a customer Urus ST-X programme.
That makes 76899 the only LEGO® product, and one of relatively few merchandise items of any kind, to have ever modelled the Urus ST-X. For the historical record, the bricks captured a car that, in real life, never quite became a championship. The set's design choices — the matte-anodised wheel detail and the chunky black aero accents — track the 2018 reveal car closely enough that builders can use the LEGO® version to date the design moment Squadra Corse believed an SUV could become a one-make racer.
