Hot Wheels RLC '82 Lamborghini Countach LP 500 S blue #3

The Hot Wheels '82 Lamborghini Countach LP500 S, catalog number HGW25, is a collector's model released in the RLC sELECTIONs series—a program in which Red Line Club members decide which model goes into production. This 1:64 scale replica is aimed at adult collectors and fans of Italian supercars, distinguishing itself from standard toy cars with a metal base, rubber tires, Spectraflame paint, and opening scissor doors.

The '82 Lamborghini Countach LP500 S casting was designed by Brendon Vetuskey and debuted in 2019 as part of the RLC Exclusive series under catalog number GDF85. The casting replicates the signature feature of the original vehicle: upward-opening scissor doors. The 2022 HGW25 version features a Spectraflame ice blue paint job—a translucent, ice-blue finish applied directly over polished metal, reserved for the brand's most exclusive releases. Detailing includes authentic logos and a rear license plate that reads "TORO BLU." The base is matte black and made of metal, the windows are slightly tinted, and the interior is finished in white with blue details—a combination consistent with the body paint. The model rolls on silver RR5SPM wheels, which are five-spoke Real Riders with rubber tires. It was manufactured in China.

The original vehicle is the Lamborghini Countach, a mid-engined supercar produced by the Italian brand from 1974 to 1990. The body was designed by Marcello Gandini, and its sharp, wedge-shaped form pioneered and popularized a style that dominated supercars for decades to come. The Countach also popularized the "cab-forward" concept, where the cabin is shifted forward to make room for a larger engine. The LP500 S variant was powered by a 4.8-liter V12 engine designated L511, paired with a five-speed manual transmission delivering power to the rear axle. Production of this version ended in 1985, with 321 units built.

For collectors, the HGW25 has added value: it is a model chosen for production by the Red Line Club community itself. The light blue Spectraflame with a white interior is one of the most striking combinations in the history of this casting, and RLC models do not hit standard retail and consistently maintain high value on the secondary market.
