Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Countach LP500S reproduces Marcello Gandini's wedge shape with the wider arches the LP500S update brought for low-profile tyres.

About the Lamborghini Countach LP500S White Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast captures the Lamborghini Countach LP500S in white, the early-1980s update that widened the arches for Pirelli P7 tyres and cemented the wedge silhouette Marcello Gandini drew a decade earlier. Opening doors swing upward on scissor hinges. A striking supercar anchor for any 1980s wedge-era collection.

The Countach's silhouette barely needed updating once Marcello Gandini had drawn it, so Lamborghini's changes through the LP500S years were about tyres and cooling rather than shape. Kyosho's white example carries the wider arches that update brought, over a scissor-door body that still looks radical decades on.

Kyosho's Diecast Wedge: Scissor Doors and White Paint

Scissor-Door Engineering in 1:18

The Countach's upward-swinging doors are one of the most recognisable mechanical details in supercar history, and Kyosho reproduces the mechanism rather than faking it with a simple sideways hinge. Each door pivots up and forward on a sturdy metal arm that holds the raised position without drooping, letting the model display open to show off the low, flat cabin beneath. That mechanism also means the doors need clear space above the roofline when raised, worth checking against cabinet shelf height before committing to an open display. Lifting the body from its tray, the zinc alloy construction is immediately obvious in the weight, a solidity that matches a car whose real proportions were similarly uncompromising.

White Paintwork Against Flared Arches

White is a demanding colour for a body this angular, since every panel join and every change of plane shows up clearly against a light, reflective finish. Kyosho's paintwork holds even coverage across the Countach's sharpest creases, and the wide rear arches read cleanly against the narrower waist, without the patchiness a lower-tier diecast sometimes shows on large flat panels. Kept out of direct sun, that brightness should hold without the yellowing lesser clear coats develop on white bodies over years of display.

Gandini's Wedge and the LP500S Update

Wider Tyres, Wider Arches

Marcello Gandini's original Countach design, drawn at Bertone in the early 1970s, arrived as one of the most extreme production car shapes ever put on sale, and Lamborghini spent the following decade refining it rather than replacing it. The LP500S designation covers the update that widened the car's stance to accommodate Pirelli's low-profile P7 tyres, new at the time and demanding flared bodywork to cover them properly. That single change altered the Countach's visual character more than any restyling could have, turning an already aggressive shape into something wider and more planted. That combination of wide arches and low nose is what still stops onlookers decades after the car's debut.

A Supercar Centrepiece for an 1980s Collection

Scale Presence and Shelf Placement

At roughly 22cm, the Countach's low, wide 1:18 footprint takes up more shelf width than height, so it benefits from a cabinet shelf with a little extra depth rather than tall vertical clearance. Displayed with the doors raised, it needs the most lateral space of almost any supercar in this scale, wider in that position than most 911s or Ferraris of the same era. Against Kyosho's diecast pricing, the scissor-door mechanism and interior detail here sit comfortably above entry-level castings that fix the doors shut entirely. For a shelf built around 1980s wedge-shaped design, this white LP500S is the car the whole era is measured against.
