Japanese tuner Liberty Walk has released a sneak peek of its Lamborghini Countach edition, which will be unveiled at the 2024 Tokyo Motor Show. No, we’re talking about the resurgence of the LPI 800-4 Countach, but the iconic wedge-shaped supercar. Built through Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990.
On that note, Lamborghini purists, car collectors, or even those who simply appreciate the Countach as a revolutionary automotive design may not like what Liberty Walk is doing. For now, the company has unveiled a 3D teaser video made through xix3. -D, however, will definitely be true in the coming weeks.
As per the teaser video, the LB Works Countach is getting gigantic fender flares and a huge hill-climb style rear diffuser, among other bits. The kit even replaces the original front bumper (which houses fog lamps) with one equipped with air intakes. Likewise visible from the front end are canards and a lip.
Over to the side, the kit thankfully retains the vehicle’s original intake vent behind the windows, as well as the unmistakable NACA ducts that feed its iconic V12 engine. It does, however, get an additional deep recession on its side skirts, which adds another vent, presumably to cool the car’s brakes.
Finally, the rear gets a massive wing attached to the vehicle’s rear bumper. The kit also replaces the production version’s inset taillights with flush taillights.
Liberty Walk has built its brand on attention-grabbing creations that are far removed from what their designers originally intended, but tuned supercars are a dime a dozen these days. To keep breaking the internet, Liberty Walk is now cutting into classics, and last year, it went to town on one of the most important supercars ever, the Ferrari F40. The end result was not ghastly, but it wasn’t elegant either. That will be the case with this Countach, but we feel a little better about it knowing that Lamborghini itself has always been a disruptor. Still, we bet some of you are foaming at the mouth just thinking about a widebody Countach.
