Air suspension on the Countach

Liberty Walk’s body kits are developed in series according to type. The design used for the Countach this time is based on the LB Silhouette Works Urracan GT, which was fitted to the Urracan in the past. However, the shape was arranged to enhance the impact of the Countach in a bolder way, without destroying its unique form.

Checking the fender gaps, the ride height has been lowered so much that the tyres and wheels are completely covered. This is because the car is fitted with air suspension, a product of modern suspension technology. Who would have thought that the time would come when Countachs would be fitted with air suspension and the ride height could be raised or lowered at will?　The Countach is also packed with modern customisation elements that remind us of the times.

As for the exterior, the front spoiler has been substantially remodelled and a large air dam, underlip and canard have been added to create an aggressive, modern-style shape. It is also nice that they dared to retain the Countach’s character and kept the retractable headlights.

The rear wing with chassis and diffuser connected

Also, a huge wing is set at the rear, and the way it is mounted is interesting. This is a technique that is attracting attention as a mounting method that produces more downforce effect, and by connecting the chassis and diffuser to form an integrated upper and lower structure, the stability of the machine is increased by several orders of magnitude. This technique, which is commonplace in the racing field, has been applied to produce a rear wing that is suitable for supercars.

In addition to this, modifications were also made to emphasise the contrast with the white body colour, such as the addition of air scoops on the roof and blacked-out side ducts.

The appearance is, of course, overwhelming. But more than that, in the process of production, they challenge themselves to do something a little out of the ordinary, and they spare no effort and ingenuity to achieve it. Liberty Walk may look like a joke, but it is a very serious machine-building company. Although he doesn’t show it, this is the belief in customisation that Mr Kato values.

Liberty Walk, which leads the way in Japan, a country known for its customised cars, has done it again. Just as we were once shocked by a supercar and fell in love with it, the coolness of this car will surely be one that will remain in the hearts of the young car enthusiasts who will lead the future.
