This is what Liberty Walk does. Slams a mega controversial widebody kit onto the car and makes it vulgar. It doesn’t even matter that the car is an automotive icon. This time, this poor Lamborghini Countach is next to unrecognizable.
Liberty Walk uploaded a 40-second video on YouTube on Christmas Day to preview their upcoming project: the Lamborghini Countach that bears the tuner’s logo. It is, most likely, a 25th Anniversary Countach, considering the body-colored vertical strakes present in the air vents on the upper sector of the tail. The special edition was significantly restyled by Horacio Pagani, the Argentine-Italian businessman who went on to found Pagani Automobili.
The model looking like this is going to make its public debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon. The short film shows part of the widebody kit that the Countach will wear once it is ready.
The Lambo will come with a daring exterior in white, with radically looking components. There is a prominent front splitter in the company of a lower fascia with a rectangular mesh over three gaps that help the engine breathe. LW chose a bizarre approach on this section, making it boxy and angular.
At the opposite end, the Japanese mounted a wing even bigger than what the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory originally used for the Countach. There are also flush-mounted rear lights instead of those that the car drove through the factory back in the 1980s. A rear diffuser and the quad exhaust below round up the looks back there and highlight the motorsport-infused nature of the car.

In pure Liberty Walk fashion, the tuning team bolted curvy wheel arches above the dip-dish Rohana Forged wheels with Y-shaped spokes in a black finish, sporting red brake calipers and Toyo tires, extending the width of the car. Openings behind the front wheels and in front of the rear ones help the airflow and reduce drag. The teaser video shows that the widebody kit has been developed in the wind tunnel.
The car showing up in the video wears a California lisence plate. So we can assume that it belongs to a customer from the United States.
One thing is for sure: the Lamborghini Countach is going to be just as controversial as the Ferrari F40 that Liberty Walk built last year. Supercar enthusiasts worldwide slammed the tuning house for cutting and modifying such an icon. They should probably expect the same reactions in 2024, once they unveil the widebody Countach.
As usual, LW does not interfere with the powertrain of the cars that get into the hands of the tuning house’s experts. Therefore, the Lamborghini Countach is still powered by the 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 of the LP5000 Quattrovalvole with fuel injection, which was capable of delivering 414 horsepower (420 metric horsepower) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque.
The Lamborghini Countach with the polarizing design will be unveiled on January 12, 2024, at the Liberty Walk booth, at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
