About the Lamborghini Countach LP500S Walter Wolf Dark Blue Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast reproduces the Lamborghini Countach LP500S in Walter Wolf specification, finished in dark blue with the deep front spoiler, NACA-duct bonnet and flared wheel arches that F1 patron Walter Wolf commissioned. Diecast construction and opening panels bring this influential wide-body Countach to a mid-tier supercar display.

Walter Wolf wanted his Countach to look faster than anything else in Lamborghini's range, and the styling Bertone built for him ended up defining the production LP500S. Kyosho's diecast wears the dark blue paint and wide-body cues that made this one of the most talked-about Countaches ever built.

Kyosho's 1:18 Countach LP500S in Walter Wolf Spec

The Deep Spoiler and Flared Arches Walter Wolf Commissioned

Walter Wolf, the Canadian oil businessman and Formula 1 team owner, commissioned a heavily modified Countach through Lamborghini and Bertone that pushed the car's already dramatic styling further still. The result added a deep front spoiler, a NACA-duct scoop cut into the bonnet to feed the engine, flared wheel arches to cover wider wheels and tyres, and a rear spoiler that the standard car never wore. Kyosho's model reproduces those specific styling additions rather than a generic Countach shape, right down to the arch flare's exact width and the spoiler's aggressive rake.

Dark Blue Paint and Diecast Presence

The dark blue finish holds genuine depth under direct light, with metallic flake visible rather than a flat, single-tone colour, and the zinc alloy body gives the model a substantial weight that suits a car built around presence as much as performance. Scissor doors open on hinges firm enough to hold their raised position, a detail that matters on a Countach more than almost any other supercar, since the doors are as much a part of the shape as the wedge nose. Wheel arch extensions sit flush against the body rather than looking like an afterthought bolted onto standard tooling.

How One Customer's Countach Shaped the Production LP500S

From Personal Commission to Factory Option

What began as a one-off commission for a wealthy customer did not stay unique for long. Lamborghini's engineers and Bertone's stylists saw enough merit in Wolf's wide-body treatment that key elements, the deeper spoiler, the flared arches and the more aggressive stance, found their way into the factory-built Countach S and later the LP500S that followed it. That progression from personal indulgence to production feature is unusual even by supercar standards, and it gives this specific livery a significance beyond simple visual drama: it represents the moment the Countach's most recognisable later shape was decided. The LP500S itself brought a larger, more powerful V12 and the chassis reinforcement needed to carry the wider wheels the Wolf car had already popularised. Kyosho's decision to tool this exact specification, rather than a plain factory LP500S, acknowledges that history directly rather than treating the wide-body look as generic supercar styling.

Displaying the Wide-Body Countach

Where the Wide-Body Countach Sits on a Supercar Shelf

At around 24 centimetres long, this Countach occupies serious shelf real estate, and the wide-body styling makes it noticeably broader across the arches than a standard LP400 model of the same scale, worth accounting for when planning cabinet space. Kyosho's diecast sits in the accessible middle of the 1:18 supercar market, with opening doors and bonnet rather than the sealed-resin precision reserved for ultra-limited tributes at considerably higher prices. Paired with a standard-bodied Countach from an earlier production year, this Walter Wolf-spec LP500S tells the visual story of how the model evolved across its production life, making the two models more interesting together than either is alone.

Handling and Display Care for Scissor Doors

Scissor doors take up more overhead clearance than conventional doors when raised, so a cabinet shelf needs a few extra centimetres above the model if the doors are to be displayed open. Check the hinge tension occasionally and avoid forcing the doors past their natural stop, since that is where opening features on diecast models most often loosen over years of handling. Left closed, the model still reads clearly as a Countach thanks to the wedge profile alone.
