Tamiya 1/24 Slot Car Spare Parts Series
1/24 Lamborghini Countach LP500S (Polycarbonate Body)
Item No: SS2405
The Countach, the quintessential supercar. The legendary polycarbonate body that colored the 70s slot car boom.
The Lamborghini Countach LP500S, synonymous with supercars that captivated the world in the 1970s. This Tamiya vintage spare part faithfully recreates its futuristic wedge-shaped form in lightweight polycarbonate material, prioritizing racing performance for slot cars.
Its unique transparency, distinct from plastic models, and its low center of gravity and lightweight design optimized for racing made it the symbol of the “fast Countach” that children of the era aspired to.

【Product Features】
・Lightweight, high-rigidity racing body:
Uses thin yet tough polycarbonate, approximately 0.5mm to 0.8mm thick. Dramatically improves handling performance during racing and offers high crash resistance.
・Faithfully Reproduces the LP500S's Sharp Form:
Tamiya's mold technology achieves a one-piece polycarbonate construction that captures the distinctive scissor door lines, the sharp front nose designed for aerodynamic efficiency, and the powerful rear fenders.
・Customization Fun:
The clear (transparent) body allows painting from the inside using polycarbonate-specific paint, enabling a beautiful, mirror-like finish.
・Historical Value:
A valuable archive product from Tamiya's “SS Series,” representing the dawn of slot cars and RC (radio-controlled) vehicles.

【Basic Specs】
・Scale: 1/24
・Material: Polycarbonate (Clear, Unpainted, Uncut)
・Compatibility: 1/24 slot car chassis, small-scale RC chassis, etc.

【Recommended Points】
As of 2025, extremely few unused examples remain, making this a tear-jerking collector's item for fans of the era. If it includes the original decals from that era, its value increases significantly. It's a delight to enjoy as part of a vintage Tamiya collection or mounted on a modern chassis as a “legend revived for today.”
