Lamborghini Countach LP500 S: White Lines, Black Openings

Lamborghini showed the original Countach LP 500 concept at Geneva in 1971. The production family developed over the following years, and the 5000 S introduced in 1982 brought a 4.8-liter V12, revised transmission and improved trim. The model name is not a literal five-liter displacement figure.

The Kyosho release is labeled LP500 S. That places its subject within a very different chapter from the slim early LP400 or the later four-valve Countach. The wheel arches, intakes and wing are part of the visual vocabulary collectors use to distinguish those versions. Lamborghini: the original Countach LP 500. Lamborghini: model milestones.

On this miniature, the side intakes and window shapes read almost like cutouts against the white body. The wheels remain silver-colored, and the black interior continues the same restrained palette. The profile is the strongest frame for understanding the relationship between the low cabin and large rear body.

The two front photographs deliberately repeat the angle with the headlights in different positions. One shows the closed wedge; the other introduces four round lamps. The change is small in mechanical terms and enormous in expression.

The raised scissor door makes the car taller without making it feel less compact. Seen from behind, it also reveals how tightly the cabin sits between the front wheels and the rear intake structures.

The gallery preserves the actual Kyosho model and its photographed configuration, including the rear wing. A collector can follow this page forward to the Murcielago, where the same door drama is carried into a smoother body, or backward to the Miura, whose curves belong to a very different moment in Lamborghini design.
