Lamborghini Countach

Produced from 1974 to 1990, the Lamborghini Countach is one of the most legendary supercars in automotive history. The first Lamborghini to popularize elytra doors, it imposed a futuristic stylistic language signed Marcello Gandini, multiplying sharp edges and extreme proportions. Powered by the legendary naturally-aspirated V12 engine from Sant'Agata, the Countach continued to evolve through the LP400, LP400 S, LP500 S, LP5000 QV and 25th Anniversary versions. A true icon of the 70s and 80s, 1,983 examples were produced, making it one of the most iconic Lamborghinis ever built.
