About the Lamborghini Countach LP500S White Kyosho 1:18
TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Countach LP500S reproduces the widebody, wing-optioned Countach built from 1982, finished in white to show off its flat panels and flared arches. Opening doors and a correctly wedge-shaped cabin place this diecast firmly among the more dramatic 1980s supercar replicas at a mid-tier price point.
The Countach's second series widened everything that mattered: the tires, the arches, the visual drama. This white Kyosho replica takes that widebody LP500S as its subject, the version most collectors picture when they think of the car.
Kyosho Captures the Widebody Countach Era
LP500S and the Wider Stance
Lamborghini widened the Countach for the LP500S, introduced in 1982, fitting broader Pirelli P7 tires that required flared fiberglass arch extensions front and rear. The change gave the car a noticeably more aggressive stance than the original LP400, and many examples added a rear wing as a factory or dealer option, a piece closely associated with the model despite adding no measurable downforce at road speeds. Kyosho's replica reproduces the wider arches and correct wheel-to-arch fit that this update introduced.
Diecast Panels and Wing Detail
The body is zinc alloy, cast with the Countach's flat, angular surfaces intact rather than softened for easier tooling, and the wing sits as a separate applied piece rather than molded into the rear deck. Doors open in the car's distinctive scissor fashion on metal hinges, swinging up and forward rather than out, and they hold their raised position rather than drifting back down. That separate wing mounting also mirrors how the real component was a purpose-built piece rather than a styling flourish.
White Paint Against a Radical Silhouette
Paint and Trim Contrast
White is a demanding color for a car built almost entirely from flat planes and sharp creases, since every panel line and shut gap shows clearly against a light, uniform finish. Kyosho's paint holds an even coat across the Countach's long doors and low nose without pooling at the creases, and the black trim around the louvered rear window and lower body reads as a deliberate contrast rather than an afterthought.
Wheel Arch and Interior Fit
The flared arches fit tightly around the wheels without the gap that signals a lower-effort casting, and the wheels themselves carry period-correct proportions rather than an oversized modern look. Inside, the low, wedge-shaped dashboard and the famously poor rearward visibility the real Countach was known for are both represented faithfully in the cabin's molded shape. That low dashboard angle is part of what makes this cabin instantly recognizable against any other 1980s supercar interior.
Diecast Presence and How This Compares to Higher Tiers
At this price segment, expect a correctly proportioned, opening-door body with accurate stance rather than the ultra-crisp panel lines a sealed resin Countach at a higher tier would offer, since resin construction allows sharper edges on angular bodywork than a diecast body with working hinges can match. The 1:18 scale suits the Countach particularly well, since its low, wide proportions need real size to convey the sense of aggression photographs of the real car capture. Against a 1:43 casting of the same subject, the 1:18 scale is where the LP500S's flared arches and low stance actually register at a glance. Judging fidelity here comes down to the arch flare's width, the wing's mounting angle if fitted, and the nose's low, pointed profile.
A Countach's Role in a Supercar Lineup
At roughly 25 centimeters long and notably wide for its length, this model demands a bit more shelf depth than a standard coupe, a fair trade for the visual impact the widebody Countach brings to a supercar row. Paired with other wedge-era exotics, this white LP500S reads as the design statement it was in period: flat, wide, and deliberately more dramatic than anything from the same decade with a rounder shape.
