Sold out
Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 Quattrovalvole Yellow Kyosho 1:18 08320Y Diecast
1 / 8
Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 Quattrovalvole in gloss yellow reproduces Bertone's wedge-shaped supercar, with scissor doors, a quad-valve V12 glimpsed beneath the rear glass and tight panel fit across its flat surfaces. A striking, mid-tier centrepiece for an 1980s supercar shelf, built with real zinc alloy weight rather than a lighter composite feel. Scissor doors swing on a firm metal pivot rather than drifting under their own weight.

About the Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 Quattrovalvole Yellow Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 Quattrovalvole in gloss yellow reproduces Bertone's wedge-shaped supercar, with scissor doors, quad tail lights and a quad-valve V12 glimpsed under the rear glass. A striking centrepiece for a 1980s supercar shelf at accessible mid-tier pricing.

Marcello Gandini's wedge never looks more dramatic than in gloss yellow, and Kyosho leans into that drama rather than softening it. The flat panels and knife-edge nose that made the Countach a poster car translate cleanly to 1:18, where the proportions still feel outrageous decades on.

Kyosho's 1:18 Diecast Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 Quattrovalvole

Gandini's Wedge and the Quattrovalvole's Quad-Valve V12

Bertone's design studio, with Marcello Gandini at the drawing board, gave the Countach its knife-flat surfaces and the low, wide stance that still looks aggressive against modern supercars. The Quattrovalvole name refers to Lamborghini's four-valve-per-cylinder heads, added to the V12 to claw back power lost to emissions rules elsewhere in the lineup, and the intake changes that came with it show up as NACA-style ducts feeding the engine bay. Kyosho keeps the silhouette faithful from every angle: the sharply pointed nose, the slab-sided doors and the rear deck louvres over the engine all sit exactly where they should. At 1:18 the car still measures over 25 centimetres, and that length is part of what makes the wedge shape convincing in miniature.

Gloss Yellow Paint Against the Wedge's Flat Surfaces

Flat panels are unforgiving on paint, since there is no curve to hide an uneven finish, and the gloss yellow here holds a consistent depth across the bonnet and door surfaces without patchiness at the panel edges. Under direct light the colour reads warm rather than acidic, closer to a period Italian yellow than a modern fluorescent shade. The scissor doors, hinged at the A-pillar rather than the sill, swing upward on a firm metal pivot and reveal a cabin trimmed in a contrasting tone. Chrome detailing around the quad tail lights and front indicators is picked out cleanly, and the wheel arches sit tight around correctly sized wheels rather than looking hollow.

Diecast Weight and Display Presence for a Wedge Supercar

Zinc Alloy Build and Opening Panel Fit

Zinc alloy gives this Countach real weight in the hand, a density that matters on a car whose entire design language is about mass held low and wide. The scissor doors, bonnet and rear engine cover all open, the engine cover in particular rewarding a look with a simplified but recognisable V12 layout beneath it. Shut lines around the doors stay tight against the flat body panels, a genuine test for diecast tooling since any waviness in a straight panel is immediately visible in a way it would not be on a curved fender. This sits at a fair mid-tier standard: not the sealed-resin sharpness of a limited edition, but well beyond a fixed-panel promotional casting.

Positioning Against Other 1980s Supercar Diecast

Among 1980s supercar diecast, the Countach competes for shelf space with contemporaries like the Ferrari Testarossa and Porsche 911 Turbo, and the wedge shape gives it a visual identity none of those rivals share. Collectors choosing between manufacturers for this subject should judge on scissor door hinge quality and panel flatness first, since those are the two areas where a lesser casting shows its limits fastest on a Countach specifically. A model that holds tight, even lines across flat surfaces earns its place ahead of one that merely gets the silhouette right.

A Poster Car Anchor for an 1980s Supercar Shelf

This Quattrovalvole works as the loud centrepiece of a wedge-era supercar shelf, the car every visitor recognises even without reading the badge. Pair it with quieter contemporaries to let the yellow do the talking, or build a full Countach evolution across its production years to show how the shape and the engine both matured. For a collector new to Lamborghini diecast, this is a sound starting point: the subject carries enough visual weight that a mid-tier build still reads as a serious piece rather than a compromise.
