Which Countach & Diablo?

Post by Guleb » Wed Jul 24, 2013 7:57 am

I would like to add the last missing two of V12 Lamborghinis to my collection; the Countach and Diablo. Which one do you recommend? In terms of build quality and as the most iconic of the model?

The early versions doesn't represent "true" Countach with all this macho looks, so I was thinking of Kyosho LP500R (black with white striping) but I'm not sure about the plastic look of interior. Also black exterior might look dull among other colourfull Lambos on the shelfs.

@Diablo; I was thinking od AA Diablo 6.0 or GTR. What do you experts think?

Brain that blue Countach is SO SEXY! I'd love to add one but they are SO scare today! :wall:

Guleb, I personally love the subtly of the Diablo 6.0. I've had this one for years in my collection, she looks great and still can be found a reasonable price. AUTOart did a great job overall, the wheels and exhaust are exceptional!

I'm with Brain on the Countach, LP-5000QV is so iconic and still looks the part even today!

I really hope that the diablo can be released again with the pop-up headlamps.
It's not difficult at all for Autoart to do it

Agreed. It may become reality one day... with new colour choices too! :fingercrossed:

with the pop-up lamps, Autoart can produce the whole diablo line again, Diablo, roadster, VT, VT roadster, SV, SV roadster, and the SE30.
at least 5 colors for each one, then put them in the signature edition. $_$

For sure. I'm sure you'll buy them all and in all available colours too :rotfl:

I agree with gapjc's first post. the 500R is nice, but doesn't have the fender flares, which for me are a must have on a Countach with a wing.

Diablo SV for sure as well. The blue with white interior is my personal favorite....a black GTR would be a close 2nd.
