Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 Quattrovalvole Yellow Kyosho 1:18

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 recreates the 1982 wedge supercar in yellow, with functional scissor doors that swing up and hold their position on a zinc alloy body. Marcello Gandini's flat, angular Bertone design and the Quattrovalvole's four-valve V12 update make this a strong anchor for a Supercars shelf built around 1980s poster-car icons rather than race-winning subjects.

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

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 Quattrovalvole reproduces the 1982 wedge supercar in yellow, with functional scissor doors on a zinc alloy body. A Street Models piece built around the Countach's four-valve engine update and Bertone-Gandini silhouette for a Supercars display.

Few cars made the leap from poster to plausible daily obsession quite like the Countach, and its scissor doors are the single feature every diecast version has to get right. Kyosho's take opens with real mechanical presence rather than a token hinge.

Kyosho's Diecast Take on the Countach's Scissor Doors

Hinge Feel and Panel Behavior

The scissor doors swing upward and forward on a diecast hinge that holds its position once set, rather than drifting back down under its own weight, and that resistance matters more here than on almost any other opening-door subject because the Countach's doors are the whole point of picking it up. The wide rear haunches, one of the car's most dramatic surfaces, carry consistent panel gaps around the flared arches, and the yellow paint makes any inconsistency in that area immediately visible under direct light, since bright colors show shut-line variance far more readily than dark ones do.

Where Diecast Trades Against Sealed Resin

A sealed resin casting of the same subject could hold marginally tighter shut lines around those door openings, but it would permanently lose the scissor-door action that defines the Countach's presence at car shows and in this diecast form alike. Kyosho's choice to keep the doors functional accepts a small precision cost in exchange for the single most requested feature on any Countach model, and for a car whose identity is inseparable from how its doors move, that trade reads as the obvious one rather than a compromise.

Quattrovalvole Power and the Wedge Supercar Era

Gandini's Wedge and the Quattrovalvole Update

Marcello Gandini's wedge shape for Bertone turned the Countach into one of the defining silhouettes of the supercar era the moment it appeared, a flat, angular departure from the curved Italian exotics that came before it. The Quattrovalvole update brought four valves per cylinder to the mid-mounted V12, part of Lamborghini's ongoing effort through the early 1980s to keep the aging platform competitive against newer rivals, and it arrived alongside the wider rear fender flares that give this Countach variant its more aggressive stance compared to earlier LP400 and LP500S cars.

A Poster Car That Outlived Its Era

The Countach's reputation outgrew its own production numbers decades ago, propped up as much by bedroom-wall posters and pop culture cameos as by anything it achieved on a road or track. That reputation is exactly why a well-executed diecast still moves: buyers aren't chasing a racing result, they're chasing the same wedge silhouette that made this the default answer to "what's your dream car" for an entire generation.

Yellow Livery on a Poster-Car Icon

Color, Scale, and Where This Fits

Lamborghini's yellow reads as the Countach's signature color in period photography, and it does the wedge shape more favors than most alternatives, catching every crease along the flat hood and rear deck under direct light. At roughly 22 centimeters long, the model sits comfortably among other 1980s exotics on a Supercars shelf, and Kyosho's mid-tier diecast pricing makes that iconic silhouette accessible without requiring a hunt for a limited resin edition.
