Lamborghini Countach 1982 Monaco GP Pace Car in 1:43 scale
This is the Lamborghini Countach 1982 Monaco GP Pace Car in 1:43 scale by True Scale Miniatures.
The 1982 Monaco Grand Prix was uniquely headlined by the Lamborghini Countach, which served as the official pace car—an unusual and glamorous choice that perfectly matched the glitz of Monte Carlo’s streets. Finished in striking white, the Countach stood out with its angular, wedge-shaped design and theatrical scissor doors, embodying 1980s automotive excess. Unlike today’s F1 pace cars driven by designated safety drivers, this Countach was more ceremonial, leading the field around the tight circuit primarily for pre-race formation and demonstration laps rather than intervening during caution periods. Its appearance at Monaco underscored the event’s reputation for blending motorsport with luxury and spectacle, making it one of the few occasions a supercar of such notoriety shared the track spotlight with Formula 1 machinery.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
