Pemodifikasi Jepun, Liberty Walk, telah memperkenalkan modifikasi widebody untuk Lamborghini Countach klasik di Tokyo Auto Salon 2024. Mengikuti projek modifikasi widebody Ferrari F40 pada tahun sebelumnya, Liberty Walk bertujuan untuk meningkatkan penampilan berani dan ganas ikon tahun 80-an ini.

Countach yang telah dimodifikasi menampilkan bahagian depan yang mencolok dengan splitter yang menonjol dan bumper bawah yang memasukkan penutup jala segi empat yang meliputi tiga bukaan, menciptakan penampilan yang kotak. Canard di sudutnya dengan lancar berintegrasi ke dalam flare fender yang melebar, menciptakan garis berterusan dari depan hingga ke roda. Sisinya menampilkan skirt bawah yang lebih lebar yang menghubungkan fender yang melebar, dan pembukaan tambahan diperkenalkan di depan roda belakang.

Reka bentuk Liberty Walk termasuk lembaran vertikal berwarna badan di ventilasi di bahagian atas belakangnya, menunjukkan bahawa modifikasi ini berdasarkan Countach 25th Anniversary. Supercar klasik ini duduk di atas rim Rohana Forged berwarna gelap dengan gaya “deep-dish” dan tayar Toyo. Spoiler kilang telah digantikan dengan yang lebih besar yang mula dari bawah bumper belakang, menekankan estetika yang lebih terinspirasi oleh dunia perlumbaan.

Modifikasi badan lebar untuk Lamborghini Countach ini kemungkinan akan menimbulkan pendapat yang berbeza di kalangan peminat, dengan sesetengah yang menghargai penampilan ganas dan yang lain tetap setia kepada keaslian yang mungkin tidak menyukai perubahan yang begitu meluas kepada reka bentuk ikonik. Walaupun Liberty Walk tidak mendedahkan butiran harga di laman webnya, syarikat ini kelihatan terbuka untuk membuat lebih banyak set badan ini untuk pelanggan yang berminat memberikan Lamborghini Countach mereka penampilan yang unik dan ganas.

Japanese tuner Liberty Walk has presented its widebody modification for the classic Lamborghini Countach at the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon, following its widebody Ferrari F40 project from the previous year. The customisation features extensive modifications, aiming to enhance the aggressive and bold appearance of the ’80s icon.

The front end of the modified Countach showcases a prominent front splitter and a lower fascia with a rectangular mesh covering three openings, creating a boxy look. Canards on the corners integrate into the widened fender flare, establishing a continuous line from the nose to the wheel well. The sides feature broader lower sills connecting the widened fenders, and an additional opening is introduced ahead of the rear wheels.

Liberty Walk’s design includes body-colour vertical strakes in the vents on the upper portion of the tail, indicating that this modification is based on the 25th Anniversary Countach. The classic supercar rides on dark-coloured, deep-dish Rohana Forged wheels with Y-shaped spokes and Toyo tires. The tuner has also replaced the factory wing with a larger fixture beneath the rear bumper, emphasising a more motorsport-inspired aesthetic.

The widebody modification for the Lamborghini Countach is expected to evoke mixed opinions among enthusiasts, with some appreciating the aggressive look and others remaining purists who might not favour such extensive alterations to the iconic design. While Liberty Walk has not disclosed pricing details on its website, the company seems open to creating more of these body kits for customers interested in giving their Lamborghini Countach a distinctive and daring appearance.

In celebration of its 60th anniversary, Automobili Lamborghini unveils a unique work of art, the Revuelto ‘Opera Unica,’ presented during Art Basel Miami Beach 2023. This one-of-a-kind creation is a highly customised version of the Revuelto, Lamborghini’s first V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV (High-Performance Electrified Vehicle), and is a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and artistic expression.

The Revuelto, launched earlier this year, represents a new paradigm in performance, sportiness, and driving pleasure with its innovative design, maximum-efficiency aerodynamics, and a new carbon frame concept. Boasting 1,001hp, the Revuelto excels in agility and effectiveness both on the road and track.

The ‘Opera Unica’ takes the celebration further with a hand-painted exterior that seamlessly transitions from Viola Pasifae to Nero Helene. The brushstroke details incorporate warm and cool colours, requiring 76 hours of development and testing and a total of 435 hours for execution. A subtle 60th-anniversary logo adorns the car’s bonnet, adding a touch of commemoration to the artistic creation.

The interior of the ‘Opera Unica’ is equally distinctive, featuring an asymmetric design with a play of colours. The two-tone leather interior in Nero Ade and Viola Acutus is complemented by embroidered seat backrests, door inserts, and headliners adorned with the 60th-anniversary logo. Even the start and stop cover reflects the shaded brushstroke colors, creating a cohesive and artistic space within the vehicle.

The Revuelto ‘Opera Unica’ is a captivating blend of automotive engineering and artistic expression, embodying Lamborghini’s legacy of pushing boundaries and setting new standards in both performance and design.

Closer to home, the Revuelto was launched here back in September of this year with prices starting from RM2.5 million without taxes.

The car’s mechanical grip is elevated with four-way adjustable racing-derived shock absorbers, providing precise control over rebound and compression at various frequencies.

Collaborating with Bridgestone, Lamborghini has developed bespoke tires with a new compound, ensuring optimal performance and durability lap after lap. Completing the package is the Akrapovic titanium exhaust, amplifying the symphony of the Sant’Agata Bolognese V10 engine. The Huracán STO SC 10° Anniversario stands as a testament to Lamborghini’s commitment to innovation, performance, and the enduring legacy of Squadra Corse.
