The Lamborghini Countach, unveiled in 1974, has been nothing short of an automotive legend. With its iconic wedge-shaped design and exhilarating performance, the Countach played a critical role in shaping Lamborghini's brand identity as a purveyor of extreme and extravagant supercars.
Over the course of its production life, the Lamborghini Countach was equipped with several versions of Lamborghini's V12 engine. The initial LP400 model was fitted with a 4.0-liter V12, producing 375 horsepower. However, the final and most potent version of the Countach, the 25th Anniversary edition, sported a 5.2-liter V12 engine with four valves per cylinder (Quattrovalvole), delivering a robust 455 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque.
These engines were coupled with a five-speed manual transmission, offering a raw and engaging driving experience typical of supercars of its era. The Countach could sprint from 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds and boasted a top speed in excess of 180 mph.
With its futuristic and aerodynamic design, the Countach was the epitome of 1970s and 80s supercar aesthetics. Read more
