Extreme body kit, slammed ride height and an even bigger rear wing mean this modified Gandini wedge is guaranteed to generate controversy

Japanese tuner Liberty Walk’s modified performance cars are so well executed, even enthusiasts who wouldn’t consider themselves part of the modified scene have to admit that they’re fans. But customizing a modern supercar is one thing; start messing with vintage exotics worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, that are widely considered to be just about perfect out of the box, and you really going to turn heads and start arguments.
Last year Liberty Walk treated us to Ferrari F40 build that included the brand’s trademark overfender treatment on the rear end and a wider nose to accommodate bigger wheels and tires. It wasn’t the firm’s first modded F40 – another example customized over a decade earlier had helped put Liberty Walk on the map – but it was even wilder, and caused some major waves. And its successor, a modified Lamborghini Countach, is already generating controversy online.

V12 Lambos built from the late 1970s onwards already had bolt-on arch extensions to allow fitment of the then-new Pirelli P7 tires, so this car’s even wider flares don’t look remotely out of place. But the boxy front bumper with its gaping air intakes gives the car a radically different look, one that seems to take inspiration from the later Diablo GT, as does the lower air intake ahead of each rear wheel and roof-mounted snorkel.
The shape of the air intakes on the top of each rear quarter point to the donor car being a 25th Anniversary model, but no Countach, Anniversary or otherwise, had a rear wing or diffuser like the ones fitted to Liberty Walk’s car. Those parts are all available separately, meaning buyers can pick and choose elements from the demo car, but the website doesn’t give away prices, simply telling interested parties to get in touch for more info.
Do you like what Liberty Walk has done to this classic Lambo and is there any car out there that you consider too important, rare, valuable or beautiful to modify? Leave a comment and let us know.
