About the Lamborghini Urraco P250 Light Green Kyosho 1:18
TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 die-cast Lamborghini Urraco P250 recreates the compact V8 coupe Lamborghini built from 1973 as an everyday alternative to the Countach. Finished in light green with opening doors and hood, it fills the overlooked entry-level chapter of Lamborghini's early lineup at a standard mid-tier price.
Every Lamborghini collection eventually needs more than Countach posters. The Urraco is where the brand's V8 story really starts, and Kyosho's die-cast take on it is a chance to add the model most displays skip entirely.
Lamborghini's Overlooked Middle Child
Bertone's Compact V8 Design
Marcello Gandini's Urraco design for Bertone took a different brief than the Countach he had already penned: a smaller, more practical two-plus-two Lamborghini meant for daily use rather than outright spectacle. The transverse V8, mounted amidships, gave the car genuine performance without the Countach's outrageous stance, and the compact proportions Kyosho reproduces here show a Lamborghini that reads as approachable rather than intimidating. The flat nose and pop-up headlights place the Urraco firmly within the same wedge design language Bertone and Gandini were exploring across the Lamborghini range during the decade.
Built to Compete With the Dino and the 911
Lamborghini positioned the Urraco squarely against Ferrari's Dino 246 and Porsche's 911, a rare moment where the brand chased volume rather than headlines. It never matched either rival's sales, and that relative rarity is part of what makes an accurate Urraco die-cast worth seeking out today. Lamborghini would later revisit the same recipe with the Jalpa, but the Urraco was the car that proved a mid-engined V8 Lamborghini could work as a genuine daily driver rather than an occasional-use exotic.
Kyosho's Die-Cast Approach to a Rare Subject
Weight, Hinges, and Interior Access
Kyosho casts the Urraco in die-cast metal, and the weight in hand signals real zinc alloy construction rather than a lightweight promotional piece. The doors and hood open on functioning metal hinges, exposing a cast dashboard and the compact mid-mounted engine bay, the same interior-access trade-off die-cast makes on every Kyosho subject in this catalog. Shut lines run slightly wider than a sealed resin equivalent would show, an honest cost of building a body that actually opens rather than one molded as a single fixed shell.
Light Green Paint and Wheel Detail
The light green finish is applied evenly across the wedge-shaped panels, with the trim and window surrounds picked out distinctly rather than left as a single molded color. Alloy wheel detail reads correctly for the period, and the ride height sits low enough to preserve the Urraco's flat, purposeful stance. It is not the razor-edge shut-line precision a specialist resin producer would deliver on a limited run, but for a subject this rarely reproduced at all, the mid-tier finish is a reasonable trade for opening features and interior access most collectors still want.
Filling the Gap Between Countach Displays
A Countach-only Lamborghini shelf tells an incomplete story, and the Urraco is exactly the piece that fills it: the everyday V8 model that funded the flagship's development and gave the brand a genuine competitor in the volume-sports-car segment of the 1970s. At roughly 21 centimeters, the 1:18 scale sits comfortably alongside period Dino and 911 die-casts from the same era, letting a collector build a proper affordable-Italian-and-German-V8 comparison shelf rather than just a wall of wedge-shaped supercars. For anyone assembling a complete Lamborghini generational lineup rather than only its headline acts, this Urraco earns a spot most displays are still missing.
