The Lamborghini Countach made waves when it appeared at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, noted for its sharp forms and forward thinking design. The 1982 LP500S brought a 4754cc engine and bold bodywork, often complemented by an optional rear spoiler. Tamiya reproduces that classic silhouette at 1/10 scale, mounting it on the TT-01E chassis for balanced on-road performance.
The Tamiya 58413 features the TT-01 Type-E chassis, a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement that delivers consistent handling and durability. Steering upgrades inspired by the TA05 help with accuracy, while the short wheelbase and wider rear track improve cornering poise. Racing slicks included with the kit are selected for grip on prepared circuits.
The polycarbonate body includes separately moulded mirrors, the rear wing and metal-look lamp cases to enhance scale authenticity. Although the main headlights sit in the down position, LEDs are supplied for the fog lamps and taillights to add illumination for display or night running. There is scope to fit performance options and cosmetic upgrades to suit personal preferences.
This kit is suitable both as a detailed display model and as a base for tuning work to improve lap times or handling characteristics.
Tamiya 58413 appeals to builders who want a faithful supercar replica that also offers a solid platform for modest performance upgrades and regular track use.
