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

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole reproduces Bertone's wedge-shaped supercar at its final, most powerful evolution, the four-valve QV update to the 5.2-liter V12. Finished in Black with scissor doors and widened rear haunches, it anchors an 1980s supercar collection around one of the era's defining silhouettes.

No supercar defined bedroom-wall posters in the 1980s quite like the Countach, and the Quattrovalvole version is the one Lamborghini kept refining until the very end of the model's run. It stayed in production for over fifteen years without ever losing that shock value. Kyosho's Black diecast captures that final, widened shape.

Kyosho's Lamborghini Countach QV at Its Peak

Bertone's Design and the Scissor Doors

Marcello Gandini's design for Bertone gave the Countach its defining feature, doors that swing upward on a scissor hinge rather than out to the side, a solution born partly from the extremely low, wide body having nowhere else to put a conventional hinge. That silhouette, all flat planes and sharp creases, became the template every poster-supercar since has been measured against. Lamborghini kept the doors through every Countach revision, treating them as a signature rather than a gimmick to be quietly dropped. Kyosho reproduces the scissor doors as a functioning feature rather than a fixed panel.

Four Valves Per Cylinder and Widened Haunches

The Quattrovalvole designation refers to the four-valve-per-cylinder heads Lamborghini added to the Countach's 5.2-liter V12 later in its production run, a change that pushed output meaningfully higher than the earlier versions before it. Alongside the engine work came wider rear fenders to cover a broader rear track, giving the QV a noticeably more aggressive stance than its predecessors even before accounting for the optional rear wing many cars wore. Kyosho's tooling reflects that widened haunch specifically, the detail that separates a QV model from an earlier Countach at a glance.

Kyosho's Black Diecast Build

Panel Fit Around an Extreme Shape

A body this low and this angular is unforgiving of poor panel fit, since every flat surface makes a misaligned seam immediately obvious. Kyosho keeps the shut lines around the scissor doors and rear clamshell tight, and the Black finish holds genuine depth rather than flattening the car's sharp creases into a single dark mass. The NACA ducts feeding the side intakes are molded with real depth rather than painted-on suggestion, and the wide rear haunches carry the correct bulge without looking exaggerated. Lifting the model, the diecast weight matches the presence the real car commands parked at rest.

Interior and Wheel Proportions

Inside, the cabin follows the Countach's famously cramped, low-slung driving position, with a mapped dashboard and the period-correct instrument cluster picked out in detail. The wheels fill the widened arches correctly, avoiding the too-small look that undermines cheaper Countach diecast, and the ride height sits appropriately low rather than artificially raised for easier tooling. It is a mid-tier finish, strongest on the proportions and stance a collector notices first, with less ambition toward sealed-resin surface perfection underneath.

The Countach QV Among 1980s Supercar Rivals

Set against period rivals like the Ferrari Testarossa or Porsche 928, the Countach QV stands out precisely because it refused to soften its edges the way those competitors eventually did, staying uncompromisingly angular until Lamborghini finally replaced it with the Diablo. That stubbornness is part of why the Countach remains the 1980s supercar poster image most people picture first. At roughly 22 centimeters, this model holds real shelf presence next to other wedge-era supercars without needing extra space. For a collector building a 1980s supercar lineup around silhouette and attitude rather than lap times, the Countach QV is close to a mandatory inclusion.
