Which is which?
Somebody mentioned on another thread that the older Kyosho castings were not all that. Looking at these I can in this case agree. The 25th Anniversary Countach done later by Kyosho is much nicer than their original.
For this review I call it a draw. I find the CMs nicer but some of the proportions just seem a tad off.

Interesting comparison. I think the Kyosho is the one with the smaller wheels and larger sidewall tires right? I'm going to call it a wash. Both are very well done, but both have some accuracy issues that are largely nitpicking. The Kyosho looks a little too flat, while the CMs looks a little too curved. I've been meaning to post a comparison review of the various Huracan's. The Hot Wheels Huracan has the same issue as the CMs LP400, and a lot of other diecast Lamborghini's. The slope of the front is a very fine line between looking correct and looking a little droopy. I don't have either of these models though, and would gladly still add either to my collection.

You are correct on cars. The CMs Miura P400 SV is cool because the engine cover opens. The Countach does as well but it is hard to open.
CMs also does the Lamborghini with headlight up and down versions.

I have a bunch of those CM's. Personally I think they look great minus the wheels and I really like the pop-up headlight versions. On the whole you can't really go wrong with either.
