Product Details Temp out of stock
The Lamborghini Countach LP500S model, or 5000S as it became know in the United States, was intorduced at the '82 Geneva Motor Show. About 321 cars were built between 1982 and 1985. Designed by Gandini, the cars featured a tubular spaceframe chassis clad in thin aluminum panels. Pirelli developed a special P7 series rear tire for the Countach in 335-50-15 size to match the new OZ aluminum 13x15 wheels that had replaced the Campagnolo magnesium wheels used previously on the LP400S model. The six-Weber carburetor 4754cc engine produced 400 bhp at 7,000 rpm. Production pf the Countach series ceased in 1990.

The Lamborghini Countach, designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, debuted at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show and caused a sensation unlike anything before it. The scissor doors, aggressive wedge shape, and massive rear wing defined the supercar aesthetic for a generation. The name 'Countach' is Piedmontese dialect for an exclamation of astonishment — the reaction of the designer when he first saw the full-size clay model. Produced until 1990, the Countach remains the archetypal supercar poster car.
This 1/18 scale replica of the Lamborghini Countach in Red is produced by AUTOart to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
