AUTOart has been hinting for some time that they are keen on another run of their classic Lamborghini Countach LP400. The latest production sample photos of the new Rosso exterior have just surfaced. The little challenge here is the latest batch will be composite and opening versus the metal. Are you game? And for those who will ask, they haven’t provided an ETA for the model’s arrival either.

“The little challenge here is the latest batch will be composite and opening versus the metal. Are you game?”
Abso-effin-lutely! I have a few of their composite models and I never had a problem with any of them, apart from off axis wheels, which Autoart has had for a while now and needs to fix.
Looks to me like Autoart is re-releasing a few cars they’ve made before in an effort to correct past mistakes especially regarding the car shape. This is definitely on my wish list. I guess we’ll have to see whether they fixed the slope in the back.
I have the Diablo SE in Viola Metallic and it’s a superb model.
Good to see composite is holding you back!
it definitely looks better than any of their previous Countach releases. It’s very obvioulsy an entirely new model and not just some ABS version of their old die cast tooling. This time they made the hinges on the doors look accurate too.
I would not be surprised if this was just the first of a complete set of the many versions and special variants of the Countach.
I agree! I think I will be buying those variants too, but I’m mostly looking forward to the redo of the LP500/5000S variants, which is the Countach I grew up with, having posters on the wall. These definitely look the part when compared to the real deal. There’s something off with the 5000S models AA released in the 2000s and I’m not a big fan of the spring-loaded scissor doors.
I really hope Autoart does some, if not most, of the models they built in the early 2000s, particularly the 996 GT2s and GT3s. They made quite a few models which look like they were eyeballed by the modeler instead of getting the CAD for. We also got 3D scanners now which they can use to model older cars which didn’t have CAD data.
