Scaled Countach with authentic period looks

If you love classic supercars but prefer plug-and-play models, the Tamiya 56712 Lamborghini Countach LP500S GT01 RTR offers a faithful 1/12 scale replica that you can drive right away. The pre-finished body captures the sharp wedge lines fans expect.

Balance and control from the GT-01 platform

The GT-01 chassis emphasises weight savings and a low center of gravity to improve handling balance. Rear-wheel drive powered by a Type 370 motor combines with the independent double wishbone suspension and horizontal front dampers to keep the car composed over varied surfaces.

Reliable transmission layout

Key drivetrain parts include a ball differential, slipper clutch and universal shaft, all mounted on full ball bearings to ensure smooth power delivery and durable operation under load.

Accurate bodywork and secure mounting system

The polycarbonate Countach shell is supplied pre-painted and attaches using a reverse mount system plus side mounts for extra retention. The included driver figure adds a collectible touch for enthusiasts.

RTR convenience plus customization space

Included in the kit are an ESC, receiver, servo and a 2-channel transmitter so you can get running quickly. Aftermarket parts and spares are widely available for those who want to tune or personalise their car.
