The latest addition to Beam\u2019s auto collection is a Lamborghini Countach Replica.<\/p>\n

The Lamborghini Countach replica was recently featured on the YouTube channel \u201cCB Media,\u201d in which the Thai singer, actor, and host Kawee Tanjararak, a.k.a. Beam, shared insight about his creation.<\/p>\n

Apart from the near-perfect exterior looks of the iconic Lamborghini<\/a> Countach sports car showcasing a classic white-and-red combination along with Marlboro racing livery, the car is an amalgam of parts from Hyundai, Subaru, Lexus<\/a>, and Nissan.<\/p>\n

The replica<\/a> sits on a standard Hyundai front-wheel-drive chassis that has been custom welded and extended so that the car can boast a twin-turbo V8 engine in a rear-wheel-drive setup. Turning a front-wheel-drive chassis to a rear-wheel-drive in itself is a formidable challenge to overcome, but the team behind this creation has done it. The powerhouse is a Toyota UZ 4.0-litre V8 engine sourced from the Lexus LS 400, boosted via two turbochargers.<\/p>\n

To maximize performance, the engine is mated to Subaru manual transmission reserved for 6-cylinder cars, while a Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 air suspension system offers a somewhat comfortable ride. Completing the design are appropriate headlights, a mile-high spoiler, and, of course, scissor doors.<\/p>\n

Although the vehicle looks promising, it sure isn\u2019t nowhere near perfection yet. The YouTube video was recorded twice as a result of mechanical issues that stopped the car. During the first clip, as Beam and the host drove the Countach replica, the right front shock broke as they maneuvered on a speed bump. Later, during the second clip, after the car had been fixed, they again went for a stroll. But alas, a few minutes into the video, and we find the car pulled over as the front suspension broke again.<\/p>\n

Well, Beam at least kept his cool because he\u2019s aware that replicas come with mechanical gremlins, as he already owns quite a few of them. His personal favorite is the Porsche 550 Spider replica, with a classic retro exterior blended in with a 1.6-liter flat-four rear-mounted engine and a single roaring exhaust. However, the 550 Spider has been refined and tuned. Further into the video, the host gets a smooth ride to the station.<\/p>\n

Beam assured us that there will be a third video after he rectifies all issues, and hopefully, this one will be shot without any mishaps.<\/p>\n
