Countach, the ultimate supercar

this pic is awesome!

it really shows how low and agressive this car is

 

That picture reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezvyb9rzX6Q

 

interesting enough this is an S2 with sebrings mirrors...uncommon

 

This is part two. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZyTdPK92V8&feature=related

I should have mentioned that this was a 1985 60 minutes report that started with Ferruccio driving his tractor then taking off in his white countach (in PART 1).

 

He could have it with any mirrors he liked

 

Never heard. Please tell us more. I know only one real Evoluzione with CF chassis.

 

Marcello: back away from the can. Its full of worms...

 

someone made a model of M.P. serie 1 car

Fantastic work, reminds me of the 1/12 Countach QV kit I have to build my own car...

 

really impressive

what is your base model ,Raymond?

Kiosho makes a superb 1:12 but i think only LP400 and 5000S

 

Emilio: sent you an e-mail!

 

I love that car. Ive seen it scream around Goodwood a few times. Changing close to 8000 :-0

 

It's Kyosho and allready the 1/18's scale LP400 is quite much perfect. I have an Orange LP400 1/18. The detail level is extremely high. Interior, engine and other details.
Fortunately these can still find at EBAY, where I found mine.

If you know the UT Models? (Autoart, today) I have serval 1/18's also for them, but Kyosho's are one or two step better detailed by every way. I can't really imagine how good the 1/12's are.

Youtube has two videoclips of 1/12 Countach's:

And yes, Kyosho has manufactrued (if I'm right) 2005 year also LP5000S 1/18 with rearwing at least black. I have a small broschure.

 

That is incredible detailed that small sized scale model!

 

Hey, that's a cool shot of my 1987 QV and my brothers 1987 Testarossa ( Ex Janet Jackson )...we drove down to Elkart Lake together that day...no one even noticed the Ferrari and my brother was pissed!

 

LMAO!

I've seen that happen so often. A Ferrari is just a "used car" in the presence of a Lamborghini. Drives the owners crazy.

 

Wow--that is awesome. The detail is amazing. A 1/12 scale die cast is a serious chunk of metal.

I just bought this 1/24 Tamiya kit of the Wolf Countach. Leaning toward doing it in the blue livery, though.

Ok I have seen those on sell scale model shops.
Is that how skilfful? Difficult to built?

 

just replied, Joe

 

Haven't built it yet, but as a former avid model builder I can say that this one is great for a beginner.

It's a "curbside" model, which means it has limited engine and suspension detail. It's all about the body and wheels, essentially.

The Japanese kits (Fujimi, Tamiya) are great when it comes to stuff being perfectly in scale and the details are spot-on. Give it a shot--at worst you wasted $30 on the kit, paint and glue.

 

just got this old 1:43 model of a series 1 countach by record (...i know, i know i have to quit buyng lambo stuff .... )

red, tan with brown dash: almost as 1020 !

Good find Emilio! And....GREAT, no rear wing!
Can you have too much Countach's on your collection... Never.

If someone is looking for Countach's scale models, EBAY is the right place to find it.

Example, there is atleast tree or four LP400's 1/18 by Kyosho on sale this moment.
http://cgi.ebay.com/1-18-KYOSHO-LAMBORGHINI-COUNTACH-LP400-VERY-RARE_W0QQitemZ160348477450QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDiecast_Vehicles?hash=item255583980a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

And serval 1/12 by Kyosho also...... Of course the price tag is much higher but I quarantee that the quality is absolutely suberp.
http://cgi.ebay.com/1-12-KYOSHO-LAMBORGHINI-COUNTACH-LP-400-YELLOW-LP400_W0QQitemZ230354426978QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDiecast_Vehicles?hash=item35a2319c62&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Also there is 1/64 sizes, but I think they are more than less somekind of Slot cars or something, atleast the scale size is not the "standard" 1/43 or 1/18 which usual scale models are.

And what comes to the IXO's, I have red LP400S (no wing), black LP5000S and silver Quattrovalvole (no wing) on 1/43 scale, the quality is quite much OK (allmoust better than McLaren F1 GTR's which I have many). The model dimensions are very right, the car looks right. Detailed interior (streeringwheel, gearknob, seats, dashboard) also enought detailed and right marks on the rear grill to show the precise model of the car. And of course the 4 tail pipes.

By Minichamps I have only Bugatti Blue LP400. I think they has only LP400's at 1/43 size, the quality is better than IXO's, not much; but you can see it.

Autoart, I have no experiences about them, but my assumption is, that they are atleast as good than UT Models were on their time. Maybe today they are even better. I don't know but Autoart has many Lamborghini's on their range. Miura's, Countaches, Murcielago's, Diablos....
(www.autoartmodels.com)

Looksmart models, I don't know. They have many Countach's available, but I really don't know the quality. I have tryed to find out, but until this day no can say.

Everything these can be found at EBAY and the prices are quite what they should be.
Kyoshos about 100€'s side by side, and the 1/12's...how much you can ask these extremely high detailed rare models?! No price limit?
IXO's, if the price is between 50-80€, it's quite OK. Minichamps are more expensive (60-100), but the quality doesn't fail.

I can recomend all of these, Kyosho, IXO and Minichamps, Autoartmodels if you are consider to get one.
Hope this was helpfull atleast someone here.
