When artist and designer Benedict Radcliffe was a child he would wander around the paddocks of racetracks and clubs, finding himself increasingly fascinated with Lamborghini. It is a fascination that continues to this day.
It is the reason Radcliffe decided to make the Lamborghini Countach his second full-scale wireframe project. "With the Lamborghini I made it because I just knew the wireframe technique would suit it and it is the most iconic supercar of all time," Radcliffe told Jalopnik.com.
"I had to make it to get it out of my system."
Dubbed the "Koenig Countach," the artist used welded 10mm steel rods to form the vehicle. Once completed, the intricate piece was painted in flourescent orange. Radcliffe says the color is equally as "uncompromising" as the car itself.
