Lamborghini Countach - 1973-1990 | 
| If a car originally called project 112 makes you think of high-speed chases, youre on the right track. This 1971 experimental lamborghini was sleek, aggressive and futuristic, with a wedge-shaped design and a sharp-edged silhouette.

Pure power
the car was an immediate success when it made its debut at the 1971 geneva show, replacing lamborghinis innovative and highly regarded miura. Not only a beauty, the countach was also a powerhouse, engineered by paolo stanzani to have a big four-cam vi2 engine mounted longitudinally in a tubular chassis and fitted with twin fuel tanks to equalize weight distribution. The cockpit featured an innovative systems monitor and digital instruments.
born to drive
the countach was a bad boys car. Even when safety modifications were added to production models, the countachs sound, speed and shape still marked it as an all-time menacing road
warrior. Countach variations, including the 5000s quattrovalvole, were made until 1*990.
The 5000s quattrovalvole pictured here is considered by many to be the ultimate countach. |
