Keep in mind the controversy when Liberty Stroll modified an Eighties icon into certainly one of their wide-body fashions final yr? Sure, we’re speaking in regards to the Ferrari F40 Kato-san become an LB-WORKS model, a kind of automobiles you both love or hate, and let’s face it, that wasn’t the primary time Liberty Stroll did one thing to upset automotive lovers around the globe, in 2018 Kato-san actually upset nearly all people within the automotive group when he unveiled the black Lamborghini Miura wide-body on the TAS, the Tokyo Auto Salon, luckily, it wasn’t primarily based on a seven-figure Lamborghini from the Sixties, however he constructed it on a duplicate, which was primarily based on a Ford GT40 recreation.
And it appears Kato-san isn’t calling it quits simply but, within the newest announcement from Liberty Stroll we be taught that for the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon that may open its doorways on January 12, 2024 there can be one thing to get the automotive world speaking once more … an LB-WORKS Countach, take a look at a video launch they revealed on YouTube not too long ago:
It appears they’re utilizing a Lamborghini Countach twenty fifth Anniversary as a foundation for this wide-body conversion, full with these traditional ‘rivetted on’ fender flares, an enormous rear wing that appears to be fastened onto the chassis, an especially deep dish wheel, and naturally what appears to be an air experience suspension to get the automotive as low to the bottom as potential. On the entrance, we acknowledge a unique entrance bumper that reminds us of the 1999 Diablo GT unit whereas the ‘streaked’ aspect sills discovered on the unique Countach twenty fifth Anniversary appear to have been changed by wider and decrease items by Liberty Stroll, it even appears there may be an air consumption mounted on high of the engine cowl that pulls in air from above the flat roof panel.
May this be one other LB-Works primarily based on a duplicate like we’ve seen with the Miura, or will this one really be constructed on a real, late Eighties Lamborghini Countach? It may very effectively be an actual Countach beneath because the twenty fifth Anniversary is without doubt one of the highest manufacturing quantity Countach on the market with over 600 items constructed, nevertheless it’s nonetheless a uncommon traditional, and an costly automotive to chop up and customise … we’ll have to attend for the official unveil in lower than two weeks in Tokyo to get all the small print … however I’m keen to seek out out your entire story.
