Liberty Walk Widebody Countach Kit Drops and It’s…Interesting

Sure to stir some controversy, Liberty Walk put its iconic widebody spin on the even-more-iconic Lamborghini Countach.

Perhaps the most widely recognized name in aftermarket body kits, especially for exotics and supercars, is Liberty Walk. Over the years the iconic Japanese manufacturer has brought some of the most outstanding widebody works of art the world has ever seen to the streets. However, they aren’t to everyone’s taste. When you modify something iconic, things can turn a bit controversial.

We suspect that the Liberty Walk Lamborghini Countach is going to be exactly that. Historically, the Liberty Walk kits made their way to a myriad of Lamborghini models. Drastically altering the look of a Countach, though? We’re not sure how to feel about this one.

It’s Certainly Wide

We really wanted to love this thing. Admittedly, though, it’s just a bit funky-looking. The roof scoop is an awesome touch. Combine it with the overall ride height and it’s a bit reminiscent of the legendary Rain-X JGTC Countach race car from the mid-1990s. However, the overall fitment of the fender flares is a bit wonky.

To be clear, there are plenty of widebody builds that we can appreciate. The F40 is another great example of an iconic car getting the Liberty Walk touch and starting a controversy. The widebody F40, though, added a healthy amount of style to the car without detracting from its original design too much. Looking at the Countach, it’s hard to decide if that’s the case.

How Much Is a Liberty Walk Widebody Countach Kit?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you also happen to behold a Countach and dig this look, there’s great news! You can buy this kit from the Liberty Walk in the near future. They haven’t listed the price yet, unfortunately. However, considering the cost of similar kits for Lamborghinis like the Huracan, Gallardo, and Aventador cost north of $25,000 on the low end, it’s safe to assume the price will be in a similar range.

It’s also worth remembering that, in a lot of cases, you have to cut the original fenders on these cars for the widebody kits. Otherwise, you won’t clear the wider wheels you’ll need to fill the look of the widebody kit. Ultimately, that’s a pretty serious decision to make to a car that shows no signs of slowing its meteoric climb in value.

What do you think? Is this widebody modification too much or is it just right? Would you cut up a Countach if you like the kit? Sound off on the 6SpeedOnline forums!
