The DeAgostini LP500S Countach is not any old Countach, but is a replica of the Walter Wolf special, of which only 3 were made.
In 1975, Walter Wolf, a wealthy Canadian businessman and owner of the Wolf F1 Racing Team in the 1970s, purchased an LP 400; however, he was not satisfied with the LP 400's engine and asked Dallara, the chief engineer of Lamborghini at that time and the founder of the Italian F1 racing team Scuderia Italia in the mid-1980s, to create a special high-power version of the Countach.
It was the "code No.1120148" Walter Wolf special with the original "5" engine from the Countach prototype, which produced 447hp and reached a supposed maximum speed of 201.1 mph. This model also featured the upgraded wheels, Pirelli P7 tires, large fender flares, and front and rear spoilers of the LP 400S model.
It was painted in red, with black fender flares, and was designated "LP 500S" like the standard Countach model from the 1980s, and was the stepping stone that led to this later production model. Two other Wolf Countaches were produced, one painted blue, No.1120202 (currently in Germany) and one navy blue, No.1121210. (this car was owned by Walter Wolf for a long time, but was eventually sold).
The model also features lighting:

If it's coming, it needs to be soon, what with Senna's car now on the way.
I can't afford both, so it will be first come, first subscribed......

I like the fact that its not a standard Countach replica, but the Walter Wolf special, of which only 3 were made, which makes it a taking point and something very special.
