The Lamborghini Countach has carried the same gravitational pull since Marcello Gandini's wedge broke cover in 1971, but the LB★Works programme introduced by Liberty Walk founder Wataru Kato pushes the silhouette into a different dimension entirely. Radically flared fenders, a custom aero splitter, and a prominent rear wing transform an LP400/LP500 bodyshell into something that sits equally at home on a Tokyo Auto Salon stand and on a private track day. GT Spirit's 1:18 resin model captures that 2023 racing-livery build in white with race number 41.
A V12 Icon with Scissor Doors and a Lasting Blueprint
The Countach LP400 entered production in 1974 and established proportions that Lamborghini refined through LP400 S, LP500 S, and the 25th Anniversary editions. The naturally aspirated V12 architecture underpinned every variant, displacing between approximately 4.0 and 5.2 litres depending on the generation of the donor car. That long, low stance and those signature scissor doors made the Countach a reference point for every supercar that followed it, a status that makes it a natural canvas for a wide-body transformation.
Liberty Walk and the Racing-Livery Culture
Liberty Walk, trading as LB★Works, built its reputation at events including SEMA Las Vegas and Tokyo Auto Salon, where Countach builds wearing full racing numbers appear alongside the brand's Huracan and Aventador conversions. The programme blurs the boundary between show car and track weapon: wide arches, aero hardware, and vivid liveries give these builds a motorsport aesthetic without the constraints of a regulated series. The white No. 41 configuration reproduced here represents that 2023 show and track-day specification, a livery-specific build that distinguishes it from plain single-colour Countach releases.
GT Spirit's 1:18 Resin Construction
GT Spirit manufactures this model entirely in resin, the material of choice when acute surface detail matters more than movable components. The sealed, one-piece body format means there are no opening parts — doors, bonnet, and engine cover are fixed — but the trade-off is razor-sharp reproduction of the LB★Works aero geometry: flared wheel arches, front splitter, and rear wing are captured with the crispness that resin allows and that die-cast tooling can struggle to match at this scale. The white livery and race number 41 graphics are integral to the body surface.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:18, the LB★Works Countach is a model that stands out on the shelf: the wide-body kit extends the visual bulk further than a standard Countach at the same scale, so a generous shelf depth suits it well. It pairs naturally with other GT Spirit resin releases in the Lamborghini range, or with LB★Works builds of the Huracan and Aventador. Collectors building a Liberty Walk or Japanese tuning culture shelf will find the white No. 41 a livery-specific variant that anchors the display.
Frequently asked questions
Does the model have opening parts?
No. GT Spirit produces this model as a sealed resin body with no opening doors, bonnet, or engine cover. Detail is concentrated on the exterior surfaces: the flared LB★Works fenders, front splitter, rear wing, and the white No. 41 racing livery graphics.
What material is the model made from?
The model is cast entirely in resin, not die-cast metal. Resin allows sharper reproduction of complex aero surfaces such as the wide-body arches and splitter geometry that define the LB★Works conversion.
What is the LB★Works Countach programme?
LB★Works is the supercar wide-body kit division of Liberty Walk, a Japanese tuning company founded by Wataru Kato. The Countach kit adds dramatically flared fenders, custom aero splitters, and large rear wings to original LP400 and LP500 bodyshells. The builds have been shown at SEMA Las Vegas and Tokyo Auto Salon since the programme gained international attention around 2017.
