Thought I would open a thread for my build on this seeing as I have just ordered it. This is my boyhood dream car, the detail on this thing is amazing looking at the videos, can't wait for the first part to arrive
Some information copied from the DeAgositni Official Build Diary
The Lamborghini Countach is a mid-engined Supercar that was produced by Italian car maker Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990.
Its design both pioneered and popularized the wedge-shaped, sharply angled look popular in many high-performance sports cars. The "cabin-forward" design concept, which pushes the passenger compartment forward in order to accommodate a larger engine, was also popularized by the Countach.
The 1982 Geneva Auto Show saw the appearence of the LP500S which had a bigger, more powerful 4.8-litre engine.
The Countach is considered an icon of the 1970/80's and the forerunner of all Supercars.
Walter Wolf Countach
In 1975, Walter Wolf, a wealthy Canadian businessman and owner of the Wolf F1 Racing Team in the 1970s, purchased an LP 400; however, he was not satisfied with the LP 400's engine and asked Dallara, the chief engineer of Lamborghini at that time and the founder of the Italian F1 racing team Scuderia Italia in the mid-1980s, to create a special high-power version of the Countach.
It was the "code No. 1120148" Walter Wolf special with the original 5 -litre engine from the Countach prototype, which produced 447hp and reached a supposed maximum speed of 201.1mph (323.6 km/h). This model also featured the upgraded wheels, Pirelli P7 tires, large fender flares, and front and rear spoIlers, a special F1-type steering wheel with 'Walter Wolf' engraved in it, special AP disc brakes with eight calipers and a Borg & Beck double-disc clutch. It all added up to an unique Countach and was painted bright red, with black fender flares, and was designated "LP 500S"
Two other Wolf Countach's were produced, one painted bugatti blue, No.1120202 (currently in Germany) and one navy blue/black, No.1121210, (this car was owned by Walter Wolf, but was eventually sold).
