The Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary was meant to be a limited-edition model of the legendary Countach to celebrate the 25 years of Automobili Lamborghini SpA, a special model that would also be the final Countach before the Diablo took over.

But things turned out slightly different: the development of the Diablo took longer, and Lamborghini kept the Countach 25th Anniversary in production much longer than initially intended. The result was a total production of 657 units, making it the most-produced Countach in history; hence, it is the least valuable today compared to an LP400, for instance.

The modified styling compared to the Countach Quattrovalvole wasn’t appreciated by everyone either; many consider the 25th Anniversary to be too smooth, not aggressive enough, with the slats on the side sills and the air intakes on the shoulders, but it did turn out to be the most drivable model of the series in the end.

I for one love the Countach, I had a poster of a red Countach on my bedroom wall as a teenager, and it was the Countach that ignited my love for Lamborghini, which might also explain why I have a lot of scale models of this legendary V12 in my collection, so when I found this specific one, I just had to add it too, because it put a smile on my face, for two reasons.

I’m also a James Bond fan, I just love those movies, especially the ones with Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan, and who doesn’t remember the dark red metallic Lotus Esprit Turbo with the skis mounted on the engine cover from the 1981 For Your Eyes Only movie?

In early January 2026, I found some images online showing an orange Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary with a similar setup: two pairs of skis fitted on the engine cover, peaking over the roof, and I loved it. It turned out it wasn’t some brave owner who loved James Bond too, but an AI-generated set of renders, created by @onb.artdesign.

Months later, I saw this 1/64 scale replica of that Countach Sled Edition, made by Finclassically in a numbered, limited edition production run of just 500 units, and while it doesn’t exist in real life and I usually don’t collect fantasy models, this one was different for me, I liked the idea, so I ordered one for my collection.

Unfortunately, Finclassically made a mistake: the front bumper is from the Countach LP500 S, not the 25th Anniversary edition, but other than that, I really like this model, and I have no regrets adding it to the collection, keep in mind that Finclassically actually calls it the Countach LP5000 Sled Edition; they don’t call it a 25th Anniversary in the end.
