About the Lamborghini Countach LP500S Black Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Countach LP500S in black reproduces the 1984 update that enlarged the V12 to 4.8 litres and added wider Pirelli-shod arches. Scissor doors and Bertone's wedge silhouette make this a defining Supercars centrepiece for any 1980s poster-car collection.

No supercar defined bedroom-wall aspiration quite like the Countach, and Kyosho's black diecast reproduces the LP500S update, the version that widened the car's stance and gave Bertone's wedge even more presence.

The LP500S Update and the Countach's Evolving V12

From LP400 to LP500S: A Bigger Heart Beneath the Wedge

Lamborghini's Countach evolved considerably across its production life, and the LP500S sits at a distinct mid-point in that story. The original LP400 carried a 3.9-litre V12, and the LP400S that followed kept that same engine while widening the car onto Pirelli P7 tyres and adding the flared arches that became a defining Countach feature. The LP500S, produced through the mid-1980s, enlarged the V12 to 4.8 litres, giving the widened body genuinely stronger performance to match its more aggressive stance, before Lamborghini went further still with the four-valve-per-cylinder Quattrovalvole that followed. This casting, dated 1984, sits right at that engine-enlarged, wide-body sweet spot in the car's development.

Black Paint on Gandini's Wedge

Marcello Gandini's wedge silhouette, drawn originally for Bertone, relies almost entirely on flat planes and sharp creases rather than curves, and black paint is arguably the single best colour to display that geometry, since it throws hard shadow lines along every edge rather than softening them the way a lighter colour would. Kyosho's finish holds a deep, even gloss across the Countach's long, low nose and the flared rear arches, with no thinning or unevenness around the panel creases that would otherwise catch the eye immediately on a car this angular.

Kyosho's Diecast Take on the Countach's Signature Details

The scissor doors are the feature every Countach model lives or dies on, and Kyosho's hinges lift with genuine resistance and hold their raised position rather than drooping under their own weight, a mechanical detail that matters enormously given how central the doors are to the car's entire identity. Opening them reveals the correctly low, cramped cabin the real Countach was notorious for, a driving position built around the wedge's dramatic proportions rather than everyday comfort. The rear engine cover lifts to show the V12 beneath the car's signature louvred grille detail, and the wide Pirelli-style tyres fill the flared arches correctly rather than sitting tucked inboard.

Interior and Cabin Layout

The cabin reflects the Countach's famously compromised ergonomics, with a low-set dashboard, a shallow windscreen, and seat detailing that leaves little room to spare, all rendered accurately rather than smoothed over for comfort's sake. Rear visibility on the real car was notoriously poor, and the model's correctly steep rear deck angle explains exactly why, a detail purists appreciate seeing reproduced honestly.

Anchoring an 1980s Supercar Poster Wall in Miniature

Comparing Countach Eras on the Shelf

Displaying an LP500S beside an earlier LP400 or a later Quattrovalvole model traces the car's entire visual and mechanical evolution on one shelf, from narrow-bodied original through widened mid-life update to the four-valve final form. That progression, told through three distinct model years, is a more interesting collecting narrative than owning just one Countach in isolation.

At roughly 22cm, the Countach commands attention on any Supercars shelf, its low, wide stance making it visually distinct from more conventionally proportioned contemporaries like the Testarossa or 288 GTO. For collectors building a poster-car theme around the decade's most bedroom-wall-famous shapes, the LP500S represents the car at its most complete, wide-bodied and V12-enlarged, without yet carrying the more aggressive aerodynamic addenda later Countach variants received.
